JEAN-MICHEL JARRE


JEAN-MICHEL JARRE
OXYGENE (1976)
REMASTER
320 KBPS


Jean Michel Jarre, son of film composer Maurice Jarre, is one of the true pioneers of electronic music. Oxygene is one of the original e-music albums. It has withstood the test of time and the evolution of digital electronica. Jarre's compositional style and his rhythmic instincts were his strong points in 1976. While his popularity has escalated exponentially over the years, he never quite achieved the quality of this amazing recording. The innocence and freshness provide most of its charm. Jarre's techniques and ability provide the rest. This epic CD will certainly appeal to fans of electronic music regardless of which sub-genre they're fond of.

  1. If you like this one you should definitely listen to the album "Equinoxe" from the same musician, it is a bit more rythmic and harder on the keyboards. Thanks a lot for your moodswings!

  2. After so many 'questionable' remasters, I'm almost afraid to hear this. Ah, the things I do for France.
