when we're onto stupid old synth music i wias wondering if anyone could yousend(it) guro josh, the tune with the trumpet thing. the video was guro, synth, trumpet and strobe light. approx 1990. i haven't seen/heard it since then. it's probably rediculous, but probably really nostalgic as well. like i remember my first gf when i hear lily and susy, what's the color of love (hahaha(, which also is a great tune. lol jarre? what a looserr |

STFU. Jarre=great. You should try to listen to his Bourges gig. Absolutely amazing stuff. |

I dislike his music. It's mostly one-finger-synth music. |

Oxygene is nice. I used to play my mom's vinyl of it quite often in high school. |

My dad also has it on vinyl and I used to play it sometimes when I was a little boy and when my parents were away. Because it was its only electronic music vinyl and only electro would appeal me. But I didn't like it in fact ! |

Yeah he was definitely one of the first big names in electronic, my folks had that and Switched On Bach by Walter Carlos, but then again it seems like everyone has that.. I'm not sure what you meant about Oxygene though, you listened to it because that's all that was available at the time.. even though you didn't like it? |

haha: "It's mostly one-finger-synth music." It's true, but there's a reason for that: All the other fingers of that hand are up his ass, while his other hand is jacking off. So, I think most of Jarre is anal, boring and masturbatory, but I'll give him that maybe he was something twenty years ago. But he hasn't updated himself as smoothly (?) as even Kraftwerk have. |

I love Mr.Jarre. I have all his studio albums. My favorites are probably Chronologie, Oxygene 7-13, Equinox and Metamorphsis. Actually, I like them all bar a lot of the tracks off Revolutions, and Magnetic Fields never does anything much for me apart from the lovely long opening track. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yep, it was my parent's only electronic record ! They had a lot of Beatles but at that time i didn't like them so I prefered listening to Jarre. You know I was only 10... |

Jarre always gets slammed by the press over here, but when I heard Oxygene a few years ago I thought some of it was really good. Much of it was over-the-top, but there were one or two tracks on it that hit the spot. But I've heard a few other bits and pieces - he's no Aphex, let's put it that way. |

i love his older stuff - but most of his more recent releases have been a bit unimaginative, or just lame compilations (aero was a joke - presented like an album but most of the tracks were just reworks, and of the supposed new tracks, they were way too similar to existing ones). he's past his best, but he has some amazing achievements behind him. |

I even have guro's album on tape :) |

I will never, NEVER willingly buy a Jean-Michel Jarre album. there is ONE exception: I will only if I can buy each and every album of his on the world, new and secondhand, so they can be packed together and fired into the sun. with the man himself strapped to the rocket exhaust. |

You should just try one album. If you don't like it, fine. |
||||||||

you're not alone. i quite like jarre. i think my love of electro is heavily influenced from hearing jarre when quite young. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here- he was the first electronic artist i listened to, when i were a wee lad. if you buy one album, buy chronologie. best in my opinion |
||||||||
|
|

Chronologie is quite orchestral. Here's a guide: Oxygene=Ambient (Get it) Equinoxe=Ambient + Electro (-ish) Magnetic Fields=Electroish Concerts In China=Electroish (Get it NOW) Zoolook=Avant garde + Funk Rendez-Vous=Classical Revolutions=Electronic + Rock + Classical Destination Docklands=Okay, this is crap due to BIG OVERDUBS Waiting For Cousteau=Ambient Chronologie=Classical + Rock Oxygene 7-13=Ambient + Electronica Metamorphoses=Dance + Ethnic Sessions 2000=Electronic jazz Geometry Of Love=Lounge |
