This CD made quite an impression on me as a kid in 1976, and I understand that it impressed the entire planet too. No one has changed the scene of electronic music like Jean-Michel Jarre, and no one can challence him and win. Unfortunately his last CD's have been disappointing, but fortunately for him his older works still makes him the king of electronic music. I own a giant collection of electronic music but it does just not compare to his early works. This records is composed much like classical music by famous composers like Mozart, Bach etc. etc. but of course just not the same kind of music. But he pays just as much attention to every details as the them. A genious!

1976 is the year when he hear something we never heard before , a sound that is gonna change our perception about (modern) music .A new genre is gonna be invented . Jean-Michel Jarre grew up in a family of musicians ,his father composed soundtracks for a lot of movies so it was inevitable that the prodigy kid will be attracted by music.The best album of JMJ !!!

Oxygene~ Jean Michel Jarre is a modern classic. Produced and released in 1976 it was way before its time in the use of synths and keyboard programming.

It doesnt get any better than this!
Jean Michel Jarre is a musical genius! What people fail to remember is that this CD(Oxygene) was made in the 70's and the fact that he made this at that time was incredible. Read more
