Over forty years in the industry, but he's still as fresh as ever! Jean-Michel Jarre recently released his album Oxygene 3, fulfilling the trilogy starting with the debut of his first album over four decades ago.
His inspiration for the newly added parts on Oxygene 3 was not to go back in time, but to kick in a bit of the modern ages. It embraces both classical and modern ways of production.
In his words, “I did the first Oxygene on an 8 tracks tape recorder with very few instruments, with no other choice than being minimalist. I tried to keep this minimalist approach for Oxygene 3. Some moments are built around one or two elements like in the first volume.”
Are you excited for Oxygene 3? We sure are! It'll be available on CD, Vinyl and in the Ultimate OXYGENE-Trilogy Box-Set, combining all three OXYGENE-albums on CD and Vinyl, with an attached coffee-table-book featuring rare photos and notes on the story of OXYGENE. jeamicheljarre.com
