Remastered extended version of the full album by me. Thanks for listening. This is the version with mono sound. I will try to make a new version after a while.

My Dad played Oxygene and Equinox all the time. Every evening when he came home he'd carefully clean and place it on the turntable. He played them so much, but I never tired of hearing them. I lost Dad on Fathers Day. Listening to Oxygene now is hard, and happy, all at the same time. Utterly timeless. So many memories ❤️

OMG - And here I am, one if those "fathers" who not only listened to all music, back in the day, (HAVING BEEN BORN IN 1953) - it would also appear that I'm DAD/FATHER still using the old vinyl and compact cassettes / reel-to-reel equipment, to listen to it all (correctly) the same way that I have listened to ALL directly attainable multiple channels, via individual channel speakers, to instantly recreate the original positioning of instruments / backing vocals etc., unlike the "sheep" who still believe that stereo somehow ONLY means two channels, when in fact it means ANY NUMBER ABOVE ONE. I learned in 1965, how to direct-wire NINE different speakers, into "A CIRCULAR PATTERN ALL AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT", to thus hear "all around" the surrounding area, the resultant "original sound" - as if standing/sitting in the exact middle of a concert stage. It would appear (now - FIFTY EIGHT years later) that I am still the only person/entity, in the entire world, who figured it out, being the HOW - to listen correctly, to ANALOGUE full-form/full frequency audio channels, all slightly different from each other, to pinpoint EXACTLY where sound originated from, for the main L & R Mic channels (down-mixed into 2ch stereo) to thus be "complex" record onto vinyl & Tape etc., all of those originating (multiple) audio positions. It would also appear - that those who I have sold & installed (my) systems - into their premises (over the years) also discovered what the "resultant" full form musical content sounded like, in comparison to anything that was DIGITALLY CUT (in the sinusoidal "analogue" waveforms), and thus then digitally compressed, to then ONLY be shoved into a few DIGITALLY SIMULATED surround channels, in a blunderingly bad way - to try and let those who didn't know the difference, what a TIME DELAYED "compressed" partial DIGITAL waveform sound, sounded LIKE, if done so arrogantly stupidly. Not knowing the right way to hear ANALOGUE sounds, is NOT an answer that any one of you "digitized" listeners - should be proud of, it's just that you were SHEEP in a vile/incompetent way, such that you were fooled into believing that digital was the only way - as if you "didn't know" it was wrong, or that there was (somewhere in the Southern Pacific) a KIWI innovator, who had the correct ANALOGUE WAY - to listen to full form / full frequency-per-channel "analogue audio reproductions", direct from the two channel 3/4 terminal output connections of any halfway good AB integrated amplifier. NOW that you have been told, you have zero excuse for still believing in a commercialized digital hype.

Oxygene and Equinoxe clearly belong to the greatest masterpieces of music. JMJ is the best-known representative of an era in music history, electronic music. His revolutionary works appealed to a largest possible audience at the time they were born, and still continue to appeal to people, decades later. His works convey a timeless feeling of space, freedom, calmness, beauty and solitude to all generations and races. His music has a healing effect on humans and animals alike. Apart from being a genius as a composer, Jean-Michel Jarre is a great master of his instruments, and a visionary of the uncertain future of mankind. His works will last forever. Respect from a fellow musician.

When I brought the shoe home to show my mother, she was quite surprised at the state of the shoe. Mother asked if the shoe was exposed to the rain or if was it undercover, and I replied yes. In the background, I could hear music playing I walked into the room where the music was playing and could see a dark figure in the corner of the room. When I awoke the next day I couldn't wait to go to school. On the way home I fell asleep on the bus to the sound of music playing. We had dinner that night and father asked if we had a good day.

Actually no - most of the music press of the time totally slagged it off. They were largely a bunch of prog rock obsessed middle aged men, who were already struggling just to come to terms with the arrival of punk, so had zero time for electronic music. The plaudits for Oxygene were largely retrospective - and in response to the fact that it sold so amazingly well.

Gen Z have no idea. They have missed 100 years of music and movies and havent clue what quality is, In 1970 it took buckets of talent and skill to make music, and it was a hard slog, you had to do your apprenticeship in clubs and bars and bands that didnt go anywhere, and the cream of the tryers eventually floated to the top.. Half the bands and singers around today wouldnt have got past the local Talent Scout in 1970.

Tenia 8 años cuando escuche por primera vez esta musica, quede hipnotizado, FUERA de este mundo. Mi Padre me lo regalo poco despues, hoy en dia le valoro y agradezco mucho mas, ya que no eramos muy pudientes, no podia entender como a casi nadie le gustaba esa MUSICA, recien ahora entiendo que el mal gusto, lo facil, y hasta lo decadente cunde, y lo bueno queda relegado. simplemente gracias JARRE!

That's also when it was the most influential. The later albums in the 80's sound less groundbreaking as by that time similar sounds were used in pop music, and as a result they sound more dated (although there's a 80's synth appeal too). But this and Equinox sound more timeless.

A couple years later, when I was going to university, I used to frequent an occult bookstore, and one day, while visiting, this came over the speakers... I immediately bought it, not until then, realizing it was an actual album and not some tv theme music etc...

OMG - And here I am, one if those "fathers" who not only listened to all music, back in the day, (HAVING BEEN BORN IN 1953) - it would also appear that I'm DAD/FATHER still using the old vinyl and compact cassettes / reel-to-reel equipment, to listen to it all (correctly) the same way that I have listened to ALL directly attainable multiple channels, via individual channel speakers, to instantly recreate the original positioning of instruments / backing vocals etc., unlike the "sheep" who still believe that stereo somehow ONLY means two channels, when in fact it means ANY NUMBER ABOVE ONE. I learned in 1965, how to direct-wire NINE different speakers, into "A CIRCULAR PATTERN ALL AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT", to thus hear "all around" the surrounding area, the resultant "original sound" - as if standing/sitting in the exact middle of a concert stage. It would appear (now - FIFTY EIGHT years later) that I am still the only person/entity, in the entire world, who figured it out, being the HOW - to listen correctly, to ANALOGUE full-form/full frequency audio channels, all slightly different from each other, to pinpoint EXACTLY where sound originated from, for the main L & R Mic channels (down-mixed into 2ch stereo) to thus be "complex" record onto vinyl & Tape etc., all of those originating (multiple) audio positions. It would also appear - that those who I have sold & installed (my) systems - into their premises (over the years) also discovered what the "resultant" full form musical content sounded like, in comparison to anything that was DIGITALLY CUT (in the sinusoidal "analogue" waveforms), and thus then digitally compressed, to then ONLY be shoved into a few DIGITALLY SIMULATED surround channels, in a blunderingly bad way - to try and let those who didn't know the difference, what a TIME DELAYED "compressed" partial DIGITAL waveform sound, sounded LIKE, if done so arrogantly stupidly. Not knowing the right way to hear ANALOGUE sounds, is NOT an answer that any one of you "digitized" listeners - should be proud of, it's just that you were SHEEP in a vile/incompetent way, such that you were fooled into believing that digital was the only way - as if you "didn't know" it was wrong, or that there was (somewhere in the Southern Pacific) a KIWI innovator, who had the correct ANALOGUE WAY - to listen to full form / full frequency-per-channel "analogue audio reproductions", direct from the two channel 3/4 terminal output connections of any halfway good AB integrated amplifier. NOW that you have been told, you have zero excuse for still believing in a commercialized digital hype.

Not many modern musicians/composers we can call genius. Jean-Michel Jarre is a genius.
Indeed ...!!!
I would add Mike Oldfield!!
Good memories about my dad.
I'M 67 NOW AND STILL ENJOY LISTENING TO OXYGENE,ONE OF MY MANY FAVOURITE ALBUM'S. I PUT MOST OF MY FAVOURITES TO REEL TO REEL,TO WHICH I STILL ENJOY.
Ok
❤❤❤
You still have a functioning R-R??? Mad respects.
How are you old?
I have the standard version on record. Put the extended one on my reel to reel (Technics RS-1520).
This album is timeless and beautiful
My dad introduced me to this album when I was a child and now I'm listening to it thinking about more simple times. He has passed away this year in January and I still cant get over his death. I miss you dad. I hope that one day we will get to listen to this album together again
You are a Greate person! /(dad twice and 59 y.o. still love this masterpiece)
You will.
Your dad had taste in music.
Sorry for your loss... i know the feeling too well... i wish you all the best. Your father, as well as mine had a great taste of music. My father passed away two years ago and im still not over it, and i won't be completely, i guess. This is following us for the rest of our lifes, we both need to learn how to live with it. You can do it, as well as me! I believe in you! I keep coming back to this masterpiece of music crying for hours but it does really help a lot... One day we will listen to this again, with our dads together! Keep your head up!
So sorry for your loss, may he rest in Peace
I was 6 months old when it was released in Dec 1976. I'm now nearly 50 and people still listening to it. Amazing
Oh yeah, because you started to listen to it when you were 6 months old, you total muppet
My dad used to listen to this album to sleep every night when I was 3 or 4 yrs old. It scared the hell out of me! 😢 Now I'm almost 29 and I love it lol
used to play it for my son (now in his 30's) he loved it, would play it on tape cassete (yeah im old lol) under the dinning room table with a big sheet over it, tried to get his imagination going...
This music is with me over 45 years now, and I still call it a masterpiece. Often gave me relaxation and ease in difficult times.
I feel the same way... I was five when I heard this music for the first time, and I was like finding my "home"... Meanwhile, I must have listened to Oxygene about a several hundreds of times (and all other JMJ albums, too) it's still so immersing as it was then.
You're right, when I too was struggling and needed courage to do some pretty dangerous activities, listening to this wonderful music gave me all the courage I needed
It cost me a little 40 years ago before I figured out who created this work To this day memories and listening to it
Yup
Hi all listening to the album after a bad day at the hospital,it still helps me relax. At 77 I can still remember the first time I heard this sounds.
Still gives me goosebumps and I am 55 now.
Same here. And yes I'm also 55 years old.
@@RobertJanssen2405RAML I do, also I am 56, and it makes me remind my childhood.
Same at 65.
Same here and yup - 55 as well
52, I play this LOUD on a very big speaker in my shed.
Equinox und Oxygene, was für geniale Alben, als die Nadel noch knisterte und das Leben noch voll Hoffnung war. Auch das Konzert ´82 in China ein Meilenstein war der Hammer. So schnell vergeht die Zeit, aber die Erinnerungen vergehen nie.
This isn't music, this is acoustic art.
That's what music is, essentially.
Cool definition, Man // Or Woman?😍
Oxygene and Equinoxe clearly belong to the greatest masterpieces of music. JMJ is the best-known representative of an era in music history, electronic music. His revolutionary works appealed to a largest possible audience at the time they were born, and still continue to appeal to people, decades later. His works convey a timeless feeling of space, freedom, calmness, beauty and solitude to all generations and races. His music has a healing effect on humans and animals alike. Apart from being a genius as a composer, Jean-Michel Jarre is a great master of his instruments, and a visionary of the uncertain future of mankind. His works will last forever. Respect from a fellow musician.
Yes!!
To serve man the cover is gennnn-0-cide amid the feeding of the flesh Yewcranium indeed !!
Dont forget magnetic fields.

Masterpiece Should be blasted into space for another world to enjoy. To this day its still ahead of its time. Mankind still hasn't caught up.

Have you heard Echoes by Pink Floyd? This song reminds me of it slightly. As a matter of fact in my quest to find something that sounds like Pink Floyd I finally found something.
C EST UNE MUSIQUE QUI FATIGUERA LE TEMPS C EST UN ALBUM IMMUABLE QUI RESTERA GRAVÉ DANS LE MARBRE QUE LES GÉNÉRATIONS FUTURES CONTINUERONS A ÉCOUTER...!
Simply a fantastic masterpiece for eternity, ahead of his time, got this record when it came out, proud to own it, listen to it in the late 70's, still do in 2024 🙂
My son has started university to do a music for media degree. He was surprised how often Jean Michelle Jarre was referred to by the lecturers, he was also made up when he was able to respond to questions about the artist!!! So proud. Who knew playing JMJ's albums would be such a bonus to my kids! I just played them because I love his music. 😂😂
If I were French, I would be so proud to have such an artist in my country. He is so creative and genius, and so far ahead of his time
we are :)
do not worry, we are so proud to have a such artist in our country :)

I am French and yes I am proud that we have such a musical genius. I have practically all CDs of JMJ. Your comment deserves many hugs.👍

I used to listen to this when I was a kid going to sleep at night. It put me in this astral travel mindset as I drifted off. It helped me have some trippy and cool dreams.
We can still remaind childrens in our souls
Sleep? I had this on when working late nights, designing page after page of magazines - by hand, with a wax roller and paper, not Macs then. And I just put the same side on again and again and again ("A forest' - The Cure). Postponing my cup of coffee an hour, two hours, three - and all of the time this music... But the past was still to come: this played in the metro of Mexico DF (Capital). Awesome!
I did the same with this one and also with Punk Floyd’s Wish you were here
I used to do the same

I literally grew up on this. Hearing this while dozing off as a baby, even. It sure takes me back to a lot of times.
The greatest syntheseizer album ever. a masterpiece of music art.
It is Synthesizer
Det er simpelthen bare fantastisk. It is just fantastisk. The first from JMJ, i think. Simple,Sharp and hitting the nail of the hammer. Also made in the garage of Maurice Jarre (Dad) the first and best album ever.
Synthesizer is the American English spelling.Synthesiser is the British English spelling. Syntheseizer is just wrong.
Nope that would be John Foxx 's Metamatic.
@@Gingoose what a pathetic comment, nit picking over a spelling error. Cheer up and just enjoy the music.
Every time I specifically buy a window seat on an airplane just to listen to this album and look at the endless clouds. The best scenery for this music.
Lets hope some of this younger generation can appreciate what this is. My God have mercy on their future!

My father used to sit in the living room listening to his records and relaxing after work, almost in the dark, I always sat with him, for me this music was something strange and beautiful that hypnotized me. About 8 years ago I was lucky enough to see Jean Michel Jarre live in Barcelona, was simply incredible.
I purchased this album when it first came out at the beginning of my life, now I am listening to it many, many years later approaching the end of my life and still love it, captivating and thought provoking at the same time. Food for thought........it has gone in the blink of an eye.
How old are you? Maybe it is not end of your life. Maybe it is the begining of your life now. You have more knowledge. More experience. You can set a goal that can be achieved. And do it. repeat in front of a mirror. I am 16. Three time. And I have knowledge and experience of ten times more than others my age.
End of life. Are you joking. You are not as o.d as I am. I love this music and I guarantee I was much older than thee.

I want to live for ever. Not much chance of that tho because I just can not stop injecting speedballs. My veins are gone and I have to use the one next to the phemoral. I will listen to any drug keyworkers in NW England. I love this album since I heard it In about 1978 I think. It opens my mind
he is the father of trance music period!!!
Absolutely what a great film and soundtrack. Mel Gibson’s failed attempt to get the order for the stopped to the sound of Oxygene part 5 is fantastic
My dad was an absolute addict when it came to Oxygen. Dolphin or not, he really knew what it meant to have a good piece of music to listen to. God... do I miss that grin.
I use to read the Lord of the Rings listening to that music. Felt like the perfect soundtrack for the book at this time. Was dreaming someone would produce a movie out of it. What a blessing this life has been 🙏🏼🙇🏼♂️

I remember as an American sailor being in a club early at night first hearing this and going to the DJ asking who this was looking at the album and righting it down. I had to have it. I think I was in Palma de Mallorca Spain the summer of 77 or 78. This was like nothing I ever heard before.
Lost the love of my life last October 2021 💔 😪 we listened to this when we first started living together in the 70 s brings back wonderful memories ❤️
Just WOW! so many childhood memories came flooding back as I listen to Oxygene in 2021. Like so many other listers now in their 50 & 60’s this was a favourite bedtime album. I love reading all the comments of how JMJ has touched & subliminally influence our lives ✌️❤️
You are very right. Still love it to this day.
Yeah I’m 61 I bought the album in 1977
Tuve la suerte de ver a Jean Michel Jarré en vivo el 2018.... fue una experiencia de otro mundo. 30 años de compañía con sus piezas mágicas y finalmente llegó el gran momento de escucharlo ahí, de frente. Digno de contárselo a los nietos.

I was only 10 when I first came across a shoe in the field. I picked the shoe up not knowing this would change my life forever. When I brought the shoe home to show my mother, she was quite surprised at the state of the shoe. Mother asked if the shoe was exposed to the rain or if was it undercover, and I replied yes. In the background, I could hear music playing I walked into the room where the music was playing and could see a dark figure in the corner of the room. When I awoke the next day I couldn't wait to go to school. On the way home I fell asleep on the bus to the sound of music playing. We had dinner that night and father asked if we had a good day. In the background, I could hear the scratch of a parrot Yes these were different times.
I was about 8 years old when my dad kept showing me his music. R.I.P. Dad I love you endless
J’avais 16 ans, mon premier job d’été , mon premier salaire ma première chaîne en Rac et mon premier disque : Oxygène! J’ai 63 ans et j’adore toujours écouter ce disque intemporel ! Merci Jean-Michel! Fait du hasard, je l’ai un jour rencontré pour lui parler de ce premier achat........

He is a legend!!!!🌟💥💯
From Out of this world!! Way ahead of its time! 45 years !
This was considered incredible for it's time. And I still it is in any time.
It's called: Timeless
Actually no - most of the music press of the time totally slagged it off. They were largely a bunch of prog rock obsessed middle aged men, who were already struggling just to come to terms with the arrival of punk, so had zero time for electronic music. The plaudits for Oxygene were largely retrospective - and in response to the fact that it sold so amazingly well. The listeners bought into it themselves at first, regardless of the judgements of the music media - who considered it bland and derivative. Given how it has gone on to stand the test of time, and how its reputation has grown, I think that makes for a more compelling story.
@@richardanderson8696 What?? Bland? i was in college at the time and this composer was hugely popular; i bought both Oxygene and Equinoxe. Immense. Right up there with Vangelis . . . .
@@eugwx9956To clarify - I'm not calling it bland and derivative, I'm talking about some of the initial negative reviews in the music press. The way you responded suggested you misread the comment.
My big brother introduced me to this music when were young. He had a huge influence on me with music. Brings back some of the best times in my life. I miss my brother , he passed about 5 years ago. This reminds me of a much better time before the world went crazy.
J'adore. Je connais par coeur cet album depuis que je suis petite. Il m'inspire et viens chercher les émotions en moi. Merci
Découvert à 10ans ! J'ai loupé son concert au Mont St Michel à cause d'un accident !! J'en pleure encore... Maintenant à 43ans j'écoute toujours cet album (entre autre) avec délectation.
J'ai aussi l'album quand il est sorti
1 siecle d avance merci bkk mr jarr❤❤❤
I love the impact this album has on animals. When I was a kid, it relaxed our dog to the point where he'd sleep on his back with his tongue hanging out to the side. Playing this decades later, same impact on my cats..minus the tongue thing.. 😂
My cat liked Enya, she is my favourite female artist, little Merlin would curl up and sleep to the soft sounds of Enya singing.

@@TheFokker03 well spotted ,I have a few Vangelis and Tomita albums
How did he composed this in the 1970s it's outstanding 🙏
And imagine how he could do this with analog technics. No DAW, no 1024 tracks, no millisecond corrections, no unlimited number of tries and free editing. Unbelievable. And a piece of art. For me this album is the ultimate universe music. Only "Shine on you crazy diamond" plays in this space travel league.
Gen Z have no idea. They have missed 100 years of music and movies and havent clue what quality is, In 1970 it took buckets of talent and skill to make music, and it was a hard slog, you had to do your apprenticeship in clubs and bars and bands that didnt go anywhere, and the cream of the tryers eventually floated to the top.. Half the bands and singers around today wouldnt have got past the local Talent Scout in 1970.
Fantastyczna płyta którą słucham praktycznie przez całe życie i nigdy się nie znudzi :) Uwielbiam !!!

Most played record. I'm 53, first heard this in 1978. I have listened to this through just about every emotional experience I have had. Still great for a sleepless night or to 0 my emotions. Hard to beat
Right there with you mate. This is timeless music.................it`ll never get old. And I use it like you do, it`s powerful, it`s meditative, it`s healing, and Jean Michel Jarre......wow..............is hundreds of years ahead of his time.

I listened to these wonderful sounds in my uncle's car when I was a child in the early 80's and right from the start and as if I already knew those notes, as if they had always been inside me, almost as if I were an inhabitant of another planet and had already heard this kind of sound. And every time I listen to it it gives me goose skin! Like today, I'm 47 and it's incredible!
Aside from Jarre, does any other music remind you of another world? Vangelis ?
My dad got me in to this music when I was so young, I remember watching the live concert together on TV when I was only 9 or 10. Great memories
Esa MUSICA, esa CARATULA, y hasta el NOMBRE, yo era un niño, y de eso que imaginaban mucho, me pasaba las horas escuchandola, me parecia que venia a contarnos el futuro, y que yo estuviera alli, podia ver el comienzo y fin de una ultima y terrible guerra, la agonia, la desolacion, el arrepentimiento, y los despojos de planeta y humanidad diseminados en esa musica, tambien la redencion y la bondad y la gloria de algo inmensamente superior, tal vez llamado DIOS. Tenia 8 años cuando escuche por primera vez esta musica, quede hipnotizado, FUERA de este mundo. Mi Padre me lo regalo poco despues, hoy en dia le valoro y agradezco mucho mas, ya que no eramos muy pudientes, no podia entender como a casi nadie le gustaba esa MUSICA, recien ahora entiendo que el mal gusto, lo facil, y hasta lo decadente cunde, y lo bueno queda relegado. simplemente gracias JARRE!
Muy buena interpretación de tu vivencia!! Un abrazo desde La Plata, Argentina! La buena música nos hermana!!!
Considero a Jean Michel Jarre el padre de la música electrónica. Gran productor pionero que a la fecha a sus 70 años sigue sorprendiendo con sus recientes creaciones musicales y conciertos. Aprovecho el espacio también para rendirle tributo a otro grande de la música electrónica: Edgar Froese quien partió de la tierra en el 2015.
Así es toda la electrónica tiene matices de él maestro jarre
El padre de la musica electronica es kraftwerk. Fue el primero y asi lo atestigua la historia.

JMJ is the son of a great musician Maurice Jarre who gave us timeless soundtracks of Dr Zhivago & Lawrence of Arabia.
When I was young I was a huge race car fan and pestered my parents endlessly until they took me to the Cinerama Theater to see "Grand Prix" which had the awesome Maurice Jarre score.
J.-M. Jarre - Oxygene and Tangerine Dream - Rubycon, without a doubt, the two best works of electronic ambient music.
They are really good, I like Stratosfear by tangerine Dream too. I also recently checked out Klaus Schulze and the album Timewind Which I had never heard before And Klaus was a member of Tangerine Dream but did solo work too. I have recently started being nostalgic and searching out the old music I use to listen to.
Tangerine Dream Live is the BEST electronic album of all time. LMJ comes in a close second.
My parents got this album for me Christmas 1976. Still have it today along with every other album jean Michel jarre released. This and concerts in China are my favorites though. I've enjoyed many different music styles and bands over the years, that have come and gone, but JMJ still remains 👍
Yes! Yes! My fav too!
Great music. I started listening to this oxygen in early twenties in cassette format. Now l am sixty plus still loving it. Gobi from Malaysia.
I'm the same age as you Gobi. I love this piece too.
Ta płyta towarzyszy mi przez cały mój żywot i nigdy się nie znudzi.
First time heard this back in 1978. I am born in '69. Well , can't tell you why I am still listening and get exactly the same shivers down my spine today like in "78...I think I finally found out why :J..M.J. is a Moog genius !!!! I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Montreal few years ago. Smashing concert. Missing those days....Stay all of you safe.
i was born in 1944 and my son bought this when it came out
Ain't listened to this for years properly 🤞😁
My mom played it my entire childhood. All. The. Time. The actual first soundtrack I can consciously remember when I was like 3. I'm 31 now.
One of the best albums in my childhood.. Thanks for my dad, he met me with many musicians.
I really appreciate the music of Jean Michel Jarre
my intro to this album was April 12th, 1985. the day after my 18th birthday. it still is a masterpiece

Gracias, por la ubicación de cada una de las partes
Muchísimas gracias, así es más fácil disfrutar de esta joya.
My first contact with JMJ Music was in 1985 Zoolook album..I was 15 years old..And this OPENED my mind for any possibilities of sounds and made me love New Age/Space Music forever. He's pioneer and mentor and visionary. Not just about performance...But for the entire show...For the entertainment - He's The One.
Listening to it now... bought the album back in whenever - I'm 65 now and it's still so amazing to listen to thank you so much J M Jarre xx
Still love Jean-MIchel as much as I did when this first came out. I love classical music, and this is a modern-day symphony.
The first I heard was Oxygen 4 which played on someone's radio on a beach in his country, France. I was 17. First I thought: "Wow, what is this?" It caught on right away. It was so out of the ordinary back then, you couldn't miss it! And you can't forget it either...it's like magic!
Now I know where my love for Deep House music comes from, I used to listen to this and Tangerine dream throughout my teens. Amazing to think this from the 70's
I saw Tangerine Dream live, at Expo 86 in Vancouver, BC. A roof-covered, open air venue, the audience stopped applauding by the second piece, transfixed as the sun set, the light was idyllic. A performance I'll never forget.
When I was a kid, I'd listen to JMJ to see colours and shapes in my mind. Doesn't happen anymore unfortunately, but still love the music.
It is called synesthesia. I had a friend that had it and I envied them.
Thanks, I knew it was a thing, just couldn't remember the name.
I'm discovering this amazing sound now and I feel like I'm in a Ray Bradbury dream. Great!
As an old dude, I can just recollect when I just discovered Ray Bradbury and a decade later this incredible music. You will cherish this for the rest of your life.
This was my dad's favorite album. He passed away from AIDs. His death made me clinically depressed but this album is helping me through it. Also my son has lung cancer and I live in North Korea.
And then they got the nerve to tell you to recycle
Not funny dude.

A radio station played a side of Oxygene in the 70’s one evening as I sat up late that night in my dorm room laboring over an operational amplifier circuit I was building. Eventually I went on to win a competition with that circuit and a film project that went with it. I’ve always felt this music help inspire me that night.
J'adore JM depuis toujours. J'avais ses cassettes (années 70) puis ses cd (je les ai encore). Pour moi qui aimais également les Pink Floyd et d'autres (p.ex. : Emerson Lake and Palmer), il était une sorte de synthèse mélodique, propice à la méditation, à la rêverie, à l'évasion en un mot. Merci M. Jarre pour tout cela !
MASTERPIECE 🗝️🎼 1976 eine Legende erwacht zum Leben Mit dieser Album hast DU meine Seele tief berührt ✌️ Danke Jean 🌈
I cant believe it when this album was produced the synthesizer technology wasn't that advanced as compare to now but incredible work on those vintage machines i call it one of the best of all '" A master piece " ever been created !!!!!!!!!!!
30:15 the start of memories flooding in. Driving to Wicklow with my dad and all my siblings, in our little green Peugeot on a blistering hot Irish day.
in which year Kirsty ?
When I was a little kid, my mom listened these great songs a lot. I remember, I loved these too. Now I'm older, and I still listening to these songs.
В 1978 году я впервые услышал JMJ. Я утонул в этой музыке и не могу,да и не хочу выплывать из этого чудесного плена звуков! Когда слушаю,мурашки по телу!!! Сколько трепетных минут, с моими подругами , было проведено под эти фантастические мелодии! Мне, 63 года, но я всегда молод и очарован это музыкой!!!
Я тоже с подругами кайф ловил эх молодость джага-джага
Hoy lo escucho y me sigue transportando como hace 45 años, la primera vez que lo escuché tenía 17 y al toque me compré el LP. No pasa ni con el tiempo éstos sonidos.
The guy was waaay ahead of his time...eargasmic.
I had forgotten just how good this is. Twenty years ahead of it's time!
It´s incredible that Jean Michel Jarre was recording his two albums Oxygene and Equinoxe in his kitchen. The sound is so awesome. Did he made his track recordings on an 8 track reel tape recorder or an 16 track reel tape recorder ? Who knows. But the incredible things is, that Jarre managed to get a great sound out of recorded tracks in his kitchen on a multitrack reel tape recorder. 😀
Oxygen and Equinox are both my all time favorites by JMJ!!!!!
The same for me!
Masterpieces.
That's also when it was the most influential. The later albums in the 80's sound less groundbreaking as by that time similar sounds were used in pop music, and as a result they sound more dated (although there's a 80's synth appeal too). But this and Equinox sound more timeless.
Immer noch ein Meisterwerk von ihm. Zeitlos , grandios
As a child, I used to stay up late on Friday nights when one of our local TV stations played horror/sci-fi movies from midnight to 2 am, and sometimes a double feature until 4 am. They sampled Oxygene as part of the theme music for the intro and I loved that sound. A couple years later, when I was going to university, I used to frequent an occult bookstore, and one day, while visiting, this came over the speakers... I immediately bought it, not until then, realizing it was an actual album and not some tv theme music etc... Needless to say, here I am at 60, still listening to it and others by this and other artists.... great memories...
Ogni volta che ascolto questo album memorabile... parto per un viaggio spaziale ai confini dell'universo! I ❤ JMJ
Ja❤
Until one is standing on the precipice of Infinity ♾️
I was about 12 when i heard this on my parents Tesla GZ 711. This album never gets old. I still have the LP. Masterpiece!
I was 16 when I heard it for the first time and it is still alive for me.
Bonsoir Ce soir j'ai regardé les constellations dehors et j'avais mis cette musique comme fond. Ça donnait tellement bien je trouve. Le côté mystérieux de l'espace ressortait bien :)) J'adore
