Format:Audio CD
One of the best of his albums. Starting with the cold, melodious Part 1, kicking you into techno-inspired gothic progressions in Part 2, Relaxing to nice choir and string music in Part 3. Part 4 is downright danceable! Part 5 is the weak point of the CD IMO. Part 6 is Philip Glass meets trance music in a very interesting and positive way. Part 7 is a little bit weak, but Part 8 is the powerful final with great electronic themes and hip-hop beats. This was the first (and last) album where Jarre used the Roland TR909 drum synthesizer (the always used techno/trance/dance drum synth) but it is great!

Easily his most enjoyable album, barring perhaps Oxygene I. Perhaps the most palatable 'synth' album ever, with very little of "weirdness", of compositions like those of Kraftwerk, to spoil things and not too many of those "right, what shall I do here, then" bits in the middle like many of the other Jarre albums.
Interesting, uplifting and even toe-tapping, this one you will play again and again and again just to listen to those imaginative tunes with their intricate melodies. Buy it now!

very musical with some haunting melodic tunes , backed with what sounds like an orchestral choir at times but knowing jarre is probably a sample .. very accomplished in it's own right but in the context of jarre i cannot give it 5 stars because its not quite up there with Oxygene 1-13 , Equinoxe , Mag Fields and Zoolook .. but if you like jarre's music you will not be dissapointed and at £8 worth adding to your collection. grows on you.

A great buy!

But what's the point?
Having been a big fan of early J-MJ, and being very interested in electronic music, both as a fan and as a theatre and dance technician, I was hugely disappointed by this. Read more

Is one Jarre release actually better than another?
This is a great release. There is only one that I find mediocre, which is Attendant Cousteau. The album has a great mix of keyboards and other electronic gadgetry.

Jarre amazes with his timely work
Released in 1993, this is Jean Michel Jarre's best album since "Equinoxe" (released in 1978), and indeed the arrangement of the tracks is similar. Read more
