Covers

On the first AaRON album, they covered the song "Strange Fruit", a song which was made famous by Billie Holiday. The version they perform on the album is drawn largely from Nina Simone's rendition on her 1965 album Pastel Blues.

Soundtracks

2006: Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas (soundtrack of film) in 2 tracks:

- "Mister K."
