Track Of The Day: Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene, Pt. 4 (Les Disques Motors)


Perhaps my first real encounter with electronic music, (unless you count Space's 'Magic Fly', also French and with a similar approach on the promo video), this is a piece of music that sticks in the mind and doesn't let go. Its period in the UK charts was timely, as it coincided with the explosion of punk as a commercial viability, so its exposure and spread was enhanced. A great and classic piece of electronic music, highly emotive and with beaucoup gravitas.
