Customer Reviews

It's good, but showing its age in places...

The one track that stands out for me is part 4. Some great sequencing here (these current "virtual" versions of classic synthesisers are all very well, but you can't beat having the actual "tactile" instruments (with real sliders and knobs!) in front of you) and a great, simple melody to go with it. The ending of this track played LOUDLY on my HiFi used to make my guests jump......:-)

There are a few too many JMJ cliches here (and an AWFUL last track) and this has dated this album somewhat in my view. The production though seems very "clean" and open.

Well worth a listen and one of the last electronic albums of the "analogue synth plus sequencer" era.....

Fairly unique in the Jarre catalogue
If you've heard Jarre's 1st album (I don't mean Oxygene, his 2nd album)then take the feel of some of the tracks off that.
This is a short album 36 minutes approx. It is atmospheric BUT not in the same way as Oxygene & Equinoxe. Those 2 were very "earthy" and "airy" (both 5 star recordings) but this is very electronic. Possibly somewhat dated now (I can't judge that because I've loved this album for 20 years). So different to any other Jarre album, not as arty as Zoolook (his next release and again a 5star album).
This is a very listenable album but for me I always miss off the Last Rumba. For me it is out off place on this album.
