(Progressive-Electronic / Experimental / Ambient / Synth-pop) [LP] [24/96] Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe - 1978, FLAC (tracks+.cue)

Equipment With New ADC
The most perfect Jarre release for me, "Equinoxe" defines Jarre's classic sound extremely well,
maybe even better than the previous "Oxygene" album. A very rhythmic and dreamy journey through
different soundscapes, not as space themed as "Oxygene", this one is earthier, like an underwater
journey rather then space journey, the music changes for each part of the album, from atmospheric
ambient to rather upbeat and rhythmic electronica, presented in such a way that it becomes extremely
enjoyable and downright addictive, at least for me. Highlights are Parts 2-7, Part 1 and 8 being not
as good but still two good intros and outros for the album. This was one of my first Jarre albums acquired,
and it still is among my abosulte favorite releases of all music I've listened too. Highly recommended!
