He has more than 25 albums now, so I have some catching up to do.
Added: YouTube has a "remake" of Supermarkets that supposedly is very true to the original... Jean-Michel Jarre - Music for Supermarkets (Remake 2010)
perfect pairing with Nitrous Oxide
Is Ntrous Oxide on the RP playlist? LOL!

Jean-Michel Jarre (yes the e is silent :)) is one of my absolutely favorite musicians of all times. Often described as the "father" of electronic and/or ambiental music, he gave us an early entry into the New Age music even before the '80s. Oxygene was first published in 1976 and even today doesn't sound out of place, not at all (of course, if you like this genre). I suggest for younger listeners to try few more of his albums like Magnetic Fields, Zoolook or Equinoxe, you never know you might like it (a lot).
While at it, look up Michael Oldfield as well as Vangelis :-)
You forgot Trevor Rabin.
Holy crap! this is tedious.
HAHAHA. I loved it but your comment still made me laugh. Haunting and reminiscent of some of my favourite films of the 70s.
My dentist had this on a loop at her practice in the late 1970's or early 1980's! Very relaxing!

So looking it up, this is #1 in a trilogy?
What are the other to like? Similar style, or does it progress?
It's an album full of the same dulcet, ambient symphony. Sublime.
Yep!! Old school, pre polyphonic!
Just an FYI - Polyphony was around since 1973 in synths with the Yamaha GX-1 - 18 voices and the CS-80 which I love(have a software version of it) was released in 1976 with 8 voices. Jarre used a digital synth on this album!

Pretty sure this music accompanied an old Star Trek episode.
The "E" is still silent, Bill. It sounds like Jar with a Gallic "J" and "R."
Yes exactly!
Like Cher but with an 'a'. Otherwise it would have been written Jarré in France.
I was thinking clockwork orange-y
Wouldnt that be a bit more of the old Ludwig Van?
My brain was getting a bit stiff and needed a good stretch.
Sounds a bit Twin Peaks-y.

Was introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre via Carl Sagan's "Cosmos". The show used several pieces from Oxygene and (I think) Equinoxe.
I think from memory that he also used clips from Vangelis from the Heaven and Hell and Albedo 0.39 albums such as the track Alpha. But what an epic programme and his voice was sublime.

OH my god - the synths used in this album are fucking amazing.

Vangelis Direct is great

I thought it was a Theremin.
Next!
Best saw-playing I have heard in a while. I wonder if he is using a crosscut or a rip saw on this??

He could be using one of those Japanese Ryoba saws, I use those in my work and the sound is exquisite.

Explains the 1.8 GPA, doesn't it?
<edit, three months later> He's hosted a few Large Concerts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I like it
This CD was in my diskman every time I flew, to help alleviate air sickness. Worked like a charm!

Has a melancholic touch to it... So pure and beautiful
