OXYGÈNE

'Oxygen, Part I' a spatial aquatic beginning, where when water flows from a black hole at the end of its life; the sound so unique at the time, remember, apart from VANGELIS, TANGERINE DREAM or Klaus SCHULZE, it was still quite rare to have 'prog related' albums, yes that makes me laugh; look, the solemn ascent is coming, you remember it of course, it crackles everywhere; Today I find it simplistic, but yesterday... 'Oxygène, Part Ii' goes on of course, one side at a time, more than 20 minutes without stopping, that too was prodigious and innovative; well we feel that it's going to go, we don't know when if with this form of synthetic storm, we see the notes coming out, it looks easy..... avant-garde and simplistic for who touches a little different sequencers now; but the melody is quite unique; 1/3 third and we pass the second, more velvety, creamy, we are in cotton wool; the declension then declines on synthetic choruses which hide these bip beep gimmicks a bit; it looks like a wave of hyperspace in fact 'Oxygen, Part Iii' therefore follows for a short, solemn, dantesque moment, the basic thing that you dreamed of typing on a keyboard, on a musical saw, on ... quite simply a Theremin, phew how time flies when you goes back in the future to 1976 'Oxygène 4' well you know, yes the A4 of course, the radios kept advertising it, to go faster; we are on one of the rare radio hits that has pierced the curves, beautiful, sensual, metronomic, hypnotic, dancing, notes that wriggle; the interplanetary tube 'Oxygen, Part V' literally cuts with bubbles taking us back from hyper space to deep chasms; throbbing, pink noise or almost, a hymn, a hymn, a song based on contemplation; 4 minutes before leaving on a more worldly, more solemn, more majestic Part2; so yes we can criticize, talk about the basic side, but when are you going to settle down and accept to listen to beauty without grumbling? Halfway through and you're getting up to adjust your Hi-Fi system, I hope it's running well in every way; when you can go into syncopal trance, when you move without realizing it, when time stops, immutable moment; phew the waves are coming, we know that the water will bring us back to earth with a little oxygen 'Oxygen, Part Vi' waves, oxygen, seagulls and a synth and the home stretch with a more muffled sound but not necessarily better in itself; little more personal this sound of rolling waves, yes it's just a synth sound but what was it well done, what does it still resonate well!

JMJ released a unique album in its time; don't forget it, that's all; don't forget these standard albums without which we wouldn't be here listening to music now.
