"favourite Jean Michel Jarre album ?" Topic

Well, which is it ? The original synth genius, and probably the coolest living Frenchman (!). Pick any of the studio, live or one of the many, many, way too many why don't you record something new ? compliations

I really don't know – Oxygene, Equinox, Les Chants Magnétiques, the concerts in China, Zoolook, Revolutions, En Attendant Coustea , Chronologie …all in their ways totally brilliant. And Oxygene 7-12 – superb !

Does anyone like Téo & Téa ? Even Jarre has said in interviews that it was a mistake.

Well, what'cha going to pick ?

Never heard of him, so I'll go with his greatest hits album.

none

Don't like his music as I prefer Tomita or Vangelis

1982 The Concerts in China

I had it on vinyl.
Happy days.

Laser Harp FTW!

???

Wasn't he the keyboardist for Motley Crue for a bit?

Oxygene – hands down.

Have you tried Oxygene 7-13 (aka Part 2) ?

Surprisingly it really compliments the original.

I have them all. He is awesome.

I quite liked Zoolook ,cos it was wierd.

:/

Equinoxe….then I discovered Tangerine Dream!

Equinoxe was the first album I ever bought, still my favorite. Then Zoolook.

But I also discovered Tangerine Dream a while later, and then the real synth magician Klaus Schulze (I believe he published over 250 albums!)

Is he still married to the evergreen Charlotte Rampling?

I used to enjoy her talent.

Equinoxe

No, I don't know why but thyey divorced in 2005 IIRC.

Then he did Téo & Téa

Sheesh….two bad moves one after the other….

Who?

Equinoxe

Thought the Houston concert might have been popular – 1.5million people went to it, some of them must be TMPers !

I used to have a copy of Oxygene years ago, but that was the only JMJ album I've owned. So, I guess that one must be my favorite. I found it was really good to listen to while bicycling or running.
