Oxygene

Anyone have the album ?
Was this man ahead of his time with his electronica approach?
Brilliant album from a man way too talented for his era.

Jean Michel Jarre.

Sure have Smithy. Used to listen to it late 70's, early 80's(???) have only just rediscovered the cassettes from mum and dad's place recently.

Yep. Brilliant album. Seminal work of electronica. Long live the Moog!

Bought it in a Mannum opp shop when Sturt played up there recently. My daughter soon after asked me to turn off the 'scary music'

Yes...parents had it on tape as a kid in the 1980's.

I used to love it...way ahead of its time.

Would be a huge influence on artists of today like Moby, Chemical Bros., Groove Armada....etc....

Not worthy of a different thread......so.
Unrelated to the topic of oxygene, but similar in style of music to its electronica/classical rock genre.
Any of you old timers out there remember this band ?
