Yesterday i took the ol' Oxygene and Equinoxe LP's from the shelf and man it sounds good...haven't listen to em' for years. Nice kind of spacy sounds.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yuck,.. horrible music IMO,.. even for it's time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh man, I used to listen to my parents' old vinyl of Oxygene while I wrote school papers.. weird stuff.. very good stuff though. Haven't heard much else though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listened to it a lot when i was a kid but maybe if i heard it now for the first time, maybe it would suck... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly it does suck,.. |
||||||||
|

He is much more a performer / event maker than really a composer. Sure the sound is cheesy but when you realize that it's coming straight from his laser harp in combination an amazing firework/light show... He has one or two good pop tunes (oxygene, rendez-vous...). The only electronic music vinyl I have is the concert in china ; the artwork is brillant. |

Zoolook is a beast IMO |

his 47 minute ambient track "Waiting for Cousteau" is one of the best ambient pieces of music i heard, and some music on his latest album is great, my personal favourite is a track called "Miss Moon".... lots of his other music is great too, the only cheesy track on Equinoxe is part 5, the rest is fuckin brilliant, actually even part 5 is kick ass): |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ya, Waiting for Cousteau is brilliant...! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
ever heard Oxygene 9? if u like weird spacy ambient sounds this one is 4 u |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's must on the second Oxygene record and i haven't heard it at all. Is it worth buying...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry about the fukken typo...! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i reckon its good...its a bit different from the first.. u could download first and buy it if u like it... Oxy 9 is my fav |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ya, will go soulseeking for that one:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get his latest Metamorphoses too): and maybe Calypso part 2 aswell.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sucks hefty chomium arse but his rendez vous LP got me into electronic music at the age of 6 so i pay certain respect to him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i disagree it doesn't suck hefty chomium arse ... salma thinks jmj is good): |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well alright, it was drama. Lets just say i used to really enjoy it and it scared the crap out of me, especially since that guy died onboard challenger during its launch, he was going to play one of the tracks in space but never got to. But nowadays i think its rather cheesy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah Ron's Piece is not cheesy, ur correct in thinking jmj is not cheesy...very correct..well done, that makes you cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool.. i?m comfy now.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jmj is a genious, i'd say he started the ambient sound in electronic music. but u never know who did it first |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well he was one of many pioneers, but he definetley can be credited with making an audience for electronic music, before Oxygene no one listened to synths music, not many anyway.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, i think he's one of the pioneer's of electronic music. Brian Eno made some ambient stuff also back in the 70's and early 80's...Music for Airport's was one i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brian eno is so much better than jmj.. we have tis record made by david byrne and brian eno. it sounds almost like modern bigbeat in some parts and the album is made 1979 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the way, jarre made Oxygene in 1976 but he was making electronic music as early as 1969.... cause lots of ppl think Oxy is his first album, its not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then there is always water/wendy carlos.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brian Eno is great, but they're both too different to compare , and they're both pioneers in electronic music and hugely infleuntial |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true, but some people even compare trance and idm nowadays... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the good old transsexual artist who's music i never heard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
comparing things is easy to do and almost always inappropriate |
||||||||

"My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" fukin genius, you cant go far wrong with Eno. Music for Airports/Films Apollo Here come the Warm jets God save the queen - Eno and Cale Another Green World you cant compare him to JMJ, two totally different artists. Eno made Music for Airports and Music for Films with generative software, so he didnt even make it himself, the software generated it. |
