Oxygene Vinyl
Jean-Michel Jarre’s defining release sounds as fresh and exhilarating today as it did when in 1976. The single, ‘Oxygene Part 4’, was a huge hit in the UK in 1977. It became part of the overwhelming electronic sound revolution that helped shape a generation of music fans in the late 1970s in a parallel music scene where there were no guitars or hairy drummers, just beautiful sleek synthesisers and the sound of the drum machine was forged. The future began here.
Jean-Michel Jarre's album 'Oxygene' is a pioneering electronic music release that solidified his reputation as a trailblazer in the genre. Originally released in 1976, the album uses of synths and electronic effects to create ethereal, otherworldly soundscapes, especially the impossibly fluid ‘Part 4’ which was a hit single in the UK and an entry point for millions into the cosmic world of electronic music. Consisting of six tracks flowing seamlessly into each other, 'Oxygene' takes the listener on a journey through ambient and hypnotic compositions. With its innovative production techniques and futuristic vision, the album remains a timeless classic that has inspired countless electronic musicians since its debut.
