Finest music of it's kind ever recorded this album is a must have.
When I first heard this album many years ago I was instantly captivated and intrigued. The orchestration of it is absolutely superb. Thiis hypnotic masterpiece is a one of a kind flawless work of Art. The more I heard it the better it got. It still amazes me even after two or three thousand listens or more. Especially late at night when the depth of it seems to become even more spectacular. Whereas many other synthesizer players seem to churn out a "dead" sound this is vibrantly full of life. Jarre weaves a masterful web of majestic rhythm, harmony and melody into whirlpools of supersonic wizardry. The other two Oxygene albums that later followed this are beautiful as well. This artist does it better than anyone else.
