"Oxygene" by Jean-Michel Jarre (1976)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Jean-Michel Jarre "Oxygene"  1976 (France)
This album, consisting of a single piece of music covering two sides of vinyl, was one of the classic albums from the dawn of "techno pop". Released right in between Kraftwerk's breakout album Autobahn and Giorgio Moroder's disco-synth smash "I Feel Love" (for Donna Summer), the reason this 40-minute synthesizer hoedown sold 15 million copies gloabally is that sections of it include a funky drum machine, thus it was playable in your more futuristic discos of the late 1970's. But also it's still very prog rock, comparable to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells album (1973) and the cool records Vangelis was making during this era.
