Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene (1977)

Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene

 Oxygene was one of the albums that got me deep into electrica back in the day.   Surrounded by an array of vintage analog keys and synths Jarre recorded an album that still sounds as great now as did back then.

  Oxygene is a six part electronic symphony that is the perfect album to enjoy on a raining overcast day!    Musically fans of  bot Wendy Carlos, Klaus Schulze and Vangelis will adore this album!

Both Oxygene and Equinoxe are essential albums and really play as a part one and two.  For those familiar with Oxygene will surely have discovered the tranquil beauty of this album and likely have tucked away a few copies of this album......its just that good.

  My favourite moment remains Part II with is total space invaders-like laser shots and haunting electronic reverb.  

  This album is also a great HEADPHONE EXPERIENCE album!
