Remastered extended version of the full album by me. Thanks for listening. This is the version with mono sound. I will try to make a new version after a while.
My Dad played Oxygene and Equinox all the time. Every evening when he came home he'd carefully clean and place it on the turntable. He played them so much, but I never tired of hearing them. I lost Dad on Fathers Day. Listening to Oxygene now is hard, and happy, all at the same time. Utterly timeless. So many memories ❤️
This is lovely. I play these to my daughter, but she doesn't seem to like them very much. Soon I'll be gone, but I'd love to believe that one day she'll hear them again and think of me.
I was a 12 year old school boy when J.M. Jarré published this album in Germany... I still have the vinyl from '72 today, 51 years later. I grew up with this music and I love it today as I loved it half a century ago.
I was about 8 years old when my older brother would play this on vinyl, little that I know I was listening to the future. I'm 51 now and I still listen to it!
In 1979 I was 13 years old and listened to the album through headphones at my aunt's house in Munich. I have heard it 4 times. I flew through time and space with the music. Since that day I have remained faithful to electronic music until today. THANK YOU SO MUCH J.M. Jarre🙏
Я тоже 1966 года рождения, а первый раз услышал эту музыку в 1982 году в 16 лет, но со мной случилось то же самое. Вы очень хорошо и точно описали произошедшее...
Annoyingly I’ve have the sleeve but not the vinyl. I reckon it got left in my dads turntable when he sold it. I always got creeped out by the album art. I’d have been 6 ish. Pretty cool looking at it now. Sleeve alone is a memory!
Ashikodi, same here... I always remember my late father listening to this on vinyl through his earphones and then listening to it myself. Good old days, miss him very much.
I feel the same way... I was five when I heard this music for the first time, and I was like finding my "home"... Meanwhile, I must have listened to Oxygene about a several hundreds of times (and all other JMJ albums, too) it's still so immersing as it was then.
You're right, when I too was struggling and needed courage to do some pretty dangerous activities, listening to this wonderful music gave me all the courage I needed
My dad always used to listen to this album when I was a kid, I used to hate it, but man do i love it now. I'm 20 years old and if I try show this album to my friends they will all just call it rubbish, oh man little do they know about this masterpiece, they can stick listening to these mumble rappers.
look at the music they've been fed on and inundated with, that's existed since the early 2000s! it's crap! the artistically redeeming music of the 1980s and prior, we will likely NEVR see again. It breaks my heart but it is what it is.
I love this comment section, especially reading about how this music reminds people of their fathers. Whether still with us physically or living only in our hearts, our dads are awesome ♥️
It really is amazing how this album resonated with our fathers. Mine just passed away so I thought I’d listen to it for the first time since I was a kid. The album cover and music always scared the hell out of me as a kid. My dad cared very little about music in general, yet it’s a passion of mine, but he loved this album back then.
OMG - And here I am, one if those "fathers" who not only listened to all music, back in the day, (HAVING BEEN BORN IN 1953) - it would also appear that I'm DAD/FATHER still using the old vinyl and compact cassettes / reel-to-reel equipment, to listen to it all (correctly) the same way that I have listened to ALL directly attainable multiple channels, via individual channel speakers, to instantly recreate the original positioning of instruments / backing vocals etc., unlike the "sheep" who still believe that stereo somehow ONLY means two channels, when in fact it means ANY NUMBER ABOVE ONE. I learned in 1965, how to direct-wire NINE different speakers, into "A CIRCULAR PATTERN ALL AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT", to thus hear "all around" the surrounding area, the resultant "original sound" - as if standing/sitting in the exact middle of a concert stage. It would appear (now - FIFTY EIGHT years later) that I am still the only person/entity, in the entire world, who figured it out, being the HOW - to listen correctly, to ANALOGUE full-form/full frequency audio channels, all slightly different from each other, to pinpoint EXACTLY where sound originated from, for the main L & R Mic channels (down-mixed into 2ch stereo) to thus be "complex" record onto vinyl & Tape etc., all of those originating (multiple) audio positions. It would also appear - that those who I have sold & installed (my) systems - into their premises (over the years) also discovered what the "resultant" full form musical content sounded like, in comparison to anything that was DIGITALLY CUT (in the sinusoidal "analogue" waveforms), and thus then digitally compressed, to then ONLY be shoved into a few DIGITALLY SIMULATED surround channels, in a blunderingly bad way - to try and let those who didn't know the difference, what a TIME DELAYED "compressed" partial DIGITAL waveform sound, sounded LIKE, if done so arrogantly stupidly. Not knowing the right way to hear ANALOGUE sounds, is NOT an answer that any one of you "digitized" listeners - should be proud of, it's just that you were SHEEP in a vile/incompetent way, such that you were fooled into believing that digital was the only way - as if you "didn't know" it was wrong, or that there was (somewhere in the Southern Pacific) a KIWI innovator, who had the correct ANALOGUE WAY - to listen to full form / full frequency-per-channel "analogue audio reproductions", direct from the two channel 3/4 terminal output connections of any halfway good AB integrated amplifier. NOW that you have been told, you have zero excuse for still believing in a commercialized digital hype.
Have you heard Echoes by Pink Floyd? This song reminds me of it slightly. As a matter of fact in my quest to find something that sounds like Pink Floyd I finally found something.
Simply a fantastic masterpiece for eternity, ahead of his time, got this record when it came out, proud to own it, listen to it in the late 70's, still do in 2024 🙂
I purchased this album when it first came out at the beginning of my life, now I am listening to it many, many years later approaching the end of my life and still love it, captivating and thought provoking at the same time. Food for thought........it has gone in the blink of an eye.
How old are you? Maybe it is not end of your life. Maybe it is the begining of your life now. You have more knowledge. More experience. You can set a goal that can be achieved. And do it. repeat in front of a mirror. I am 16. Three time. And I have knowledge and experience of ten times more than others my age.
I want to live for ever. Not much chance of that tho because I just can not stop injecting speedballs. My veins are gone and I have to use the one next to the phemoral. I will listen to any drug keyworkers in NW England. I love this album since I heard it In about 1978 I think. It opens my mind
My big brother introduced me to this music when were young. He had a huge influence on me with music. Brings back some of the best times in my life. I miss my brother , he passed about 5 years ago. This reminds me of a much better time before the world went crazy.
Oxygene and Equinoxe clearly belong to the greatest masterpieces of music. JMJ is the best-known representative of an era in music history, electronic music. His revolutionary works appealed to a largest possible audience at the time they were born, and still continue to appeal to people, decades later. His works convey a timeless feeling of space, freedom, calmness, beauty and solitude to all generations and races. His music has a healing effect on humans and animals alike. Apart from being a genius as a composer, Jean-Michel Jarre is a great master of his instruments, and a visionary of the uncertain future of mankind. His works will last forever. Respect from a fellow musician.
I used to listen to this when I was a kid going to sleep at night. It put me in this astral travel mindset as I drifted off. It helped me have some trippy and cool dreams.
Sleep? I had this on when working late nights, designing page after page of magazines - by hand, with a wax roller and paper, not Macs then. And I just put the same side on again and again and again ("A forest' - The Cure). Postponing my cup of coffee an hour, two hours, three - and all of the time this music... But the past was still to come: this played in the metro of Mexico DF (Capital). Awesome!
My dad introduced me to this album when I was a child and now I'm listening to it thinking about more simple times. He has passed away this year in January and I still cant get over his death. I miss you dad. I hope that one day we will get to listen to this album together again
Sorry for your loss... i know the feeling too well... i wish you all the best. Your father, as well as mine had a great taste of music. My father passed away two years ago and im still not over it, and i won't be completely, i guess. This is following us for the rest of our lifes, we both need to learn how to live with it. You can do it, as well as me! I believe in you! I keep coming back to this masterpiece of music crying for hours but it does really help a lot... One day we will listen to this again, with our dads together! Keep your head up!
Most played record. I'm 53, first heard this in 1978. I have listened to this through just about every emotional experience I have had. Still great for a sleepless night or to 0 my emotions. Hard to beat
Right there with you mate. This is timeless music.................it`ll never get old. And I use it like you do, it`s powerful, it`s meditative, it`s healing, and Jean Michel Jarre......wow..............is hundreds of years ahead of his time. In 200 years, if humans haven`t fucked up The World by then, people like you and I, will listen to this, and feel exactly the same way then, as we feel now. He is " Pardon my french ".....a fucking genius !!!!!!
I first purchased the album when i was 13 in 1978 and until today Part I & II still throttles me into another dimension - I still get overwhelmed to tears of joy & fascination listening to this.

@@saiterclaudine9812 Salut Claudine. It`s not that i couldn`t write " Il est Genial " or like you wrote " 1 PUTAIN DE GENIE ", but in English, when you`re about to swear, you use the term " Pardon My French ", to not offend anyone, and that`s why I wrote what I did. I`m 53, and I`ll love him to the day I die, and I`m guessing you will too. Hope things are ok in " La France ".......or " Le Canada " or where you are writing from. Take Care. " Monsieur Marvin "
Just WOW! so many childhood memories came flooding back as I listen to Oxygene in 2021. Like so many other listers now in their 50 & 60’s this was a favourite bedtime album. I love reading all the comments of how JMJ has touched & subliminally influence our lives ✌️❤️
My dad used to listen to this album to sleep every night when I was 3 or 4 yrs old. It scared the hell out of me! 😢 Now I'm almost 29 and I love it lol
used to play it for my son (now in his 30's) he loved it, would play it on tape cassete (yeah im old lol) under the dinning room table with a big sheet over it, tried to get his imagination going...
Considero a Jean Michel Jarre el padre de la música electrónica. Gran productor pionero que a la fecha a sus 70 años sigue sorprendiendo con sus recientes creaciones musicales y conciertos. Aprovecho el espacio también para rendirle tributo a otro grande de la música electrónica: Edgar Froese quien partió de la tierra en el 2015.
@@fipcha Russolo es un adelantado de la musica concreta, pero ese trono ya lo tiene Stockhausen. El problema es que de Russolo no queda ni una obra para referenciarse, todo fue destruido en la 2GM.
Det er simpelthen bare fantastisk. It is just fantastisk. The first from JMJ, i think. Simple,Sharp and hitting the nail of the hammer. Also made in the garage of Maurice Jarre (Dad) the first and best album ever.
I use to read the Lord of the Rings listening to that music. Felt like the perfect soundtrack for the book at this time. Was dreaming someone would produce a movie out of it. What a blessing this life has been 🙏🏼🙇🏼♂️
My dad was an absolute addict when it came to Oxygen. Dolphin or not, he really knew what it meant to have a good piece of music to listen to. God... do I miss that grin.
Every time I go to Faro, Portugal, I take this CD with me: put it on play and sit out in the sun drenched patio overlooking the sandy beach as I listen to the waves on the surf & the seagulls nearby and enjoy a large Guantanamera cigar with an extra large coffee. There is nothing on earth like it. Thanks for the upload.
I remember as an American sailor being in a club early at night first hearing this and going to the DJ asking who this was looking at the album and righting it down. I had to have it. I think I was in Palma de Mallorca Spain the summer of 77 or 78. This was like nothing I ever heard before.
I listened to these wonderful sounds in my uncle's car when I was a child in the early 80's and right from the start and as if I already knew those notes, as if they had always been inside me, almost as if I were an inhabitant of another planet and had already heard this kind of sound. And every time I listen to it it gives me goose skin! Like today, I'm 47 and it's incredible!
His music is timeless,purchased this album when it was released and now I am nearly 70 and it still sounds so fresh,also got the other albums ,Equinox and China
Actually no - most of the music press of the time totally slagged it off. They were largely a bunch of prog rock obsessed middle aged men, who were already struggling just to come to terms with the arrival of punk, so had zero time for electronic music. The plaudits for Oxygene were largely retrospective - and in response to the fact that it sold so amazingly well. The listeners bought into it themselves at first, regardless of the judgements of the music media - who considered it bland and derivative. Given how it has gone on to stand the test of time, and how its reputation has grown, I think that makes for a more compelling story.
@@richardanderson8696 What?? Bland? i was in college at the time and this composer was hugely popular; i bought both Oxygene and Equinoxe. Immense. Right up there with Vangelis . . . .
@@eugwx9956To clarify - I'm not calling it bland and derivative, I'm talking about some of the initial negative reviews in the music press. The way you responded suggested you misread the comment.
Every time I specifically buy a window seat on an airplane just to listen to this album and look at the endless clouds. The best scenery for this music.
My parents got this album for me Christmas 1976. Still have it today along with every other album jean Michel jarre released. This and concerts in China are my favorites though. I've enjoyed many different music styles and bands over the years, that have come and gone, but JMJ still remains 👍
First time heard this back in 1978. I am born in '69. Well , can't tell you why I am still listening and get exactly the same shivers down my spine today like in "78...I think I finally found out why :J..M.J. is a Moog genius !!!! I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Montreal few years ago. Smashing concert. Missing those days....Stay all of you safe.
My father used to sit in the living room listening to his records and relaxing after work, almost in the dark, I always sat with him, for me this music was something strange and beautiful that hypnotized me. About 8 years ago I was lucky enough to see Jean Michel Jarre live in Barcelona, was simply incredible.
Tuve la suerte de ver a Jean Michel Jarré en vivo el 2018.... fue una experiencia de otro mundo. 30 años de compañía con sus piezas mágicas y finalmente llegó el gran momento de escucharlo ahí, de frente. Digno de contárselo a los nietos.
I love the impact this album has on animals. When I was a kid, it relaxed our dog to the point where he'd sleep on his back with his tongue hanging out to the side. Playing this decades later, same impact on my cats..minus the tongue thing.. 😂
chopin had this effect on my dachshund. sometimes beethoven as well, but she would space out with a dreamy look in her eyes to chopin. she'd get right up under the piano to feel the vibrations.

@@spirituallyawake5019 Freedom has always been going. Times change. Think of all the freedom one had in the wild west, compared to the 60's. The 60's compared to now. And now to the future.
Equinox und Oxygene, was für geniale Alben, als die Nadel noch knisterte und das Leben noch voll Hoffnung war. Auch das Konzert ´82 in China ein Meilenstein war der Hammer. So schnell vergeht die Zeit, aber die Erinnerungen vergehen nie.
Now I know where my love for Deep House music comes from, I used to listen to this and Tangerine dream throughout my teens. Amazing to think this from the 70's
I saw Tangerine Dream live, at Expo 86 in Vancouver, BC. A roof-covered, open air venue, the audience stopped applauding by the second piece, transfixed as the sun set, the light was idyllic. A performance I'll never forget.
30:15 the start of memories flooding in. Driving to Wicklow with my dad and all my siblings, in our little green Peugeot on a blistering hot Irish day.
Hoy lo escucho y me sigue transportando como hace 45 años, la primera vez que lo escuché tenía 17 y al toque me compré el LP. No pasa ni con el tiempo éstos sonidos.
The first I heard was Oxygen 4 which played on someone's radio on a beach in his country, France. I was 17. First I thought: "Wow, what is this?" It caught on right away. It was so out of the ordinary back then, you couldn't miss it! And you can't forget it either...it's like magic!
В 1978 году я впервые услышал JMJ. Я утонул в этой музыке и не могу,да и не хочу выплывать из этого чудесного плена звуков! Когда слушаю,мурашки по телу!!! Сколько трепетных минут, с моими подругами , было проведено под эти фантастические мелодии! Мне, 63 года, но я всегда молод и очарован это музыкой!!!
Ő volt a szintetizátor zene istene!! Minden gép zenének az alapja! Minden itt kezdődött! Köszönöm, hogy ezen a zenén nőhettem fel. Köszönöm Michel....innen magyarországról! Etalon vagy! (60 éves vagyok)
My first contact with JMJ Music was in 1985 Zoolook album..I was 15 years old..And this OPENED my mind for any possibilities of sounds and made me love New Age/Space Music forever. He's pioneer and mentor and visionary. Not just about performance...But for the entire show...For the entertainment - He's The One.
They are really good, I like Stratosfear by tangerine Dream too. I also recently checked out Klaus Schulze and the album Timewind Which I had never heard before And Klaus was a member of Tangerine Dream but did solo work too. I have recently started being nostalgic and searching out the old music I use to listen to.
I am listening to this for the very first time in my life today August 1, 2021 at the stroke of midnight. I've heard many like it, but this is the first of its kind. It sounds like it could have released today. I love it. Thank you.
Welcome aboard :) May i advise you to try two another Jean-Michel Jarre’s musical album ? « Equinoxe » and « concert in China / concert en Chine ». Really wonderfull too :) (Sorry for my rusted english 😆
Quite simply the best piece of electronic music & one of the best pieces of music ever/full stop/the end. It somehow manages to bypass the brain and heads straight to the heart and soul. I've probably listened to the original album literally thousands of times and it's still inspirational and fresh on each new listen. Incredible. Bravo.
A timeless classic. Like many here I heard this when it first came out back in the late 1970's as a child. My uncle bought the album and my cousin & I would sit and listen to it repeatedly staring at the fantastic cover art. I shall never ever get tired of listening to this
Hah! I done much the same..kinda? I bought my Dad a hifi stack system back in the 80s, just before they 'progressed' from selling the record player part in favour of seperates..?? We used to sit at night, in the dark and he constantly messed around with the graphic equaliser, trying to get that perfect sound? Lol He had these lights on the front that lit up in time with the music and JMJ Oxygen/Equinox, made them seem like they were flashing off into the distance.. Anyway, if you listen to Oxygen in stereo with headphones, you'll know the part where the music jumps back and forth from left to right?? AMAZING!!! JMJ & my Dad would've gone on to write the last epic if my Dad had anything to do with it! Lol Funny how this takes me straight back to that stack system?? Great days, timeless music and great fun.. 👍
Started with this one and bought all JMJ recordings after. Even flew half way around the world to the Pyramids to be there for the millennial "12 Dreams of the Sun" concert.
@@fionaallen4136 Hi, New Years Eve 1999. We counted down to 2000 at midnite. JMJ came back out for a sunrise set. There is a concert video. Behind the stage during Oxygene 4 many penguins were walking across the dunes. Cheers Fiona. Yuma,AZ.
C EST UNE MUSIQUE QUI FATIGUERA LE TEMPS C EST UN ALBUM IMMUABLE QUI RESTERA GRAVÉ DANS LE MARBRE QUE LES GÉNÉRATIONS FUTURES CONTINUERONS A ÉCOUTER...!
As an old dude, I can just recollect when I just discovered Ray Bradbury and a decade later this incredible music. You will cherish this for the rest of your life.
I first heard this in band class when it came out. The instructor Mr.Cave(best music teacher I ever had) was playing this in the music room at lunch. I remember being so impressed with this cause I was taking piano lessons at the time.
And imagine how he could do this with analog technics. No DAW, no 1024 tracks, no millisecond corrections, no unlimited number of tries and free editing. Unbelievable. And a piece of art. For me this album is the ultimate universe music. Only "Shine on you crazy diamond" plays in this space travel league.
Gen Z have no idea. They have missed 100 years of music and movies and havent clue what quality is, In 1970 it took buckets of talent and skill to make music, and it was a hard slog, you had to do your apprenticeship in clubs and bars and bands that didnt go anywhere, and the cream of the tryers eventually floated to the top.. Half the bands and singers around today wouldnt have got past the local Talent Scout in 1970.
A radio station played a side of Oxygene in the 70’s one evening as I sat up late that night in my dorm room laboring over an operational amplifier circuit I was building. Eventually I went on to win a competition with that circuit and a film project that went with it. I’ve always felt this music help inspire me that night.
That's also when it was the most influential. The later albums in the 80's sound less groundbreaking as by that time similar sounds were used in pop music, and as a result they sound more dated (although there's a 80's synth appeal too). But this and Equinox sound more timeless.
It´s incredible that Jean Michel Jarre was recording his two albums Oxygene and Equinoxe in his kitchen. The sound is so awesome. Did he made his track recordings on an 8 track reel tape recorder or an 16 track reel tape recorder ? Who knows. But the incredible things is, that Jarre managed to get a great sound out of recorded tracks in his kitchen on a multitrack reel tape recorder. 😀
Esa MUSICA, esa CARATULA, y hasta el NOMBRE, yo era un niño, y de eso que imaginaban mucho, me pasaba las horas escuchandola, me parecia que venia a contarnos el futuro, y que yo estuviera alli, podia ver el comienzo y fin de una ultima y terrible guerra, la agonia, la desolacion, el arrepentimiento, y los despojos de planeta y humanidad diseminados en esa musica, tambien la redencion y la bondad y la gloria de algo inmensamente superior, tal vez llamado DIOS. Tenia 8 años cuando escuche por primera vez esta musica, quede hipnotizado, FUERA de este mundo. Mi Padre me lo regalo poco despues, hoy en dia le valoro y agradezco mucho mas, ya que no eramos muy pudientes, no podia entender como a casi nadie le gustaba esa MUSICA, recien ahora entiendo que el mal gusto, lo facil, y hasta lo decadente cunde, y lo bueno queda relegado. simplemente gracias JARRE!

OMG - And here I am, one if those "fathers" who not only listened to all music, back in the day, (HAVING BEEN BORN IN 1953) - it would also appear that I'm DAD/FATHER still using the old vinyl and compact cassettes / reel-to-reel equipment, to listen to it all (correctly) the same way that I have listened to ALL directly attainable multiple channels, via individual channel speakers, to instantly recreate the original positioning of instruments / backing vocals etc., unlike the "sheep" who still believe that stereo somehow ONLY means two channels, when in fact it means ANY NUMBER ABOVE ONE.
I learned in 1965, how to direct-wire NINE different speakers, into "A CIRCULAR PATTERN ALL AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT", to thus hear "all around" the surrounding area, the resultant "original sound" - as if standing/sitting in the exact middle of a concert stage.
It would appear (now - FIFTY EIGHT years later) that I am still the only person/entity, in the entire world, who figured it out, being the HOW - to listen correctly, to ANALOGUE full-form/full frequency audio channels, all slightly different from each other, to pinpoint EXACTLY where sound originated from, for the main L & R Mic channels (down-mixed into 2ch stereo) to thus be "complex" record onto vinyl & Tape etc., all of those originating (multiple) audio positions.
It would also appear - that those who I have sold & installed (my) systems - into their premises (over the years) also discovered what the "resultant" full form musical content sounded like, in comparison to anything that was DIGITALLY CUT (in the sinusoidal "analogue" waveforms), and thus then digitally compressed, to then ONLY be shoved into a few DIGITALLY SIMULATED surround channels, in a blunderingly bad way - to try and let those who didn't know the difference, what a TIME DELAYED "compressed" partial DIGITAL waveform sound, sounded LIKE, if done so arrogantly stupidly.
Not knowing the right way to hear ANALOGUE sounds, is NOT an answer that any one of you "digitized" listeners - should be proud of, it's just that you were SHEEP in a vile/incompetent way, such that you were fooled into believing that digital was the only way - as if you "didn't know" it was wrong, or that there was (somewhere in the Southern Pacific) a KIWI innovator, who had the correct ANALOGUE WAY - to listen to full form / full frequency-per-channel "analogue audio reproductions", direct from the two channel 3/4 terminal output connections of any halfway good AB integrated amplifier.
NOW that you have been told, you have zero excuse for still believing in a commercialized digital hype.

This isn't music,
this is acoustic art.
That's what music is, essentially.
Cool definition, Man // Or Woman?😍
Masterpiece
Should be blasted into space for another world to enjoy.
To this day its still ahead of its time.
Mankind still hasn't caught up.

Have you heard Echoes by Pink Floyd? This song reminds me of it slightly. As a matter of fact in my quest to find something that sounds like Pink Floyd I finally found something.
I'M 67 NOW AND STILL ENJOY LISTENING TO OXYGENE,ONE OF MY MANY FAVOURITE ALBUM'S. I PUT MOST OF MY FAVOURITES TO REEL TO REEL,TO WHICH I STILL ENJOY.
Ok
❤❤❤
You still have a functioning R-R??? Mad respects.
How are you old?
I have the standard version on record. Put the extended one on my reel to reel (Technics RS-1520).
Still gives me goosebumps and I am 55 now.
Same here. And yes I'm also 55 years old.
@@RobertJanssen2405RAML I do, also I am 56, and it makes me remind my childhood.
Same at 65.
Same here and yup - 55 as well
52, I play this LOUD on a very big speaker in my shed.
Simply a fantastic masterpiece for eternity, ahead of his time, got this record when it came out, proud to own it, listen to it in the late 70's, still do in 2024 🙂
Hi all listening to the album after a bad day at the hospital,it still helps me relax.
At 77 I can still remember the first time I heard this sounds.
I purchased this album when it first came out at the beginning of my life, now I am listening to it many, many years later approaching the end of my life and still love it, captivating and thought provoking at the same time. Food for thought........it has gone in the blink of an eye.
How old are you? Maybe it is not end of your life. Maybe it is the begining of your life now. You have more knowledge. More experience. You can set a goal that can be achieved. And do it. repeat in front of a mirror. I am 16. Three time. And I have knowledge and experience of ten times more than others my age.
End of life. Are you joking. You are not as o.d as I am. I love this music and I guarantee I was much older than thee.

This is Timeless and maybe so are you.
I want to live for ever.
Not much chance of that tho because I just can not stop injecting speedballs.
My veins are gone and I have to use the one next to the phemoral.
I will listen to any drug keyworkers in NW England.
I love this album since I heard it In about 1978 I think.
It opens my mind
My big brother introduced me to this music when were young. He had a huge influence on me with music. Brings back some of the best times in my life. I miss my brother , he passed about 5 years ago. This reminds me of a much better time before the world went crazy.
Oxygene and Equinoxe clearly belong to the greatest masterpieces of music. JMJ is the best-known representative of an era in music history, electronic music. His revolutionary works appealed to a largest possible audience at the time they were born, and still continue to appeal to people, decades later. His works convey a timeless feeling of space, freedom, calmness, beauty and solitude to all generations and races. His music has a healing effect on humans and animals alike. Apart from being a genius as a composer, Jean-Michel Jarre is a great master of his instruments, and a visionary of the uncertain future of mankind. His works will last forever. Respect from a fellow musician.
Yes!!
To serve man the cover is gennnn-0-cide amid the feeding of the flesh Yewcranium indeed !!
Dont forget magnetic fields.
And ZOOLOOK
Only oxygène and équinoxe the rest of his career is bullshit
I used to listen to this when I was a kid going to sleep at night. It put me in this astral travel mindset as I drifted off. It helped me have some trippy and cool dreams.
We can still remaind childrens in our souls
Sleep? I had this on when working late nights, designing page after page of magazines - by hand, with a wax roller and paper, not Macs then. And I just put the same side on again and again and again ("A forest' - The Cure). Postponing my cup of coffee an hour, two hours, three - and all of the time this music... But the past was still to come: this played in the metro of Mexico DF (Capital). Awesome!
I did the same with this one and also with Punk Floyd’s Wish you were here
I used to do the same
@@arrivalphoenix7320 Me to, only it's harder to go trick-or-treating at a later date in life, I also wan't to go back in my younger body.

we are :)
do not worry, we are so proud to have a such artist in our country :)

My dad introduced me to this album when I was a child and now I'm listening to it thinking about more simple times. He has passed away this year in January and I still cant get over his death.
I miss you dad. I hope that one day we will get to listen to this album together again
You are a Greate person! /(dad twice and 59 y.o. still love this masterpiece)
You will.
Your dad had taste in music.
Sorry for your loss... i know the feeling too well... i wish you all the best. Your father, as well as mine had a great taste of music. My father passed away two years ago and im still not over it, and i won't be completely, i guess. This is following us for the rest of our lifes, we both need to learn how to live with it. You can do it, as well as me! I believe in you! I keep coming back to this masterpiece of music crying for hours but it does really help a lot... One day we will listen to this again, with our dads together! Keep your head up!
So sorry for your loss, may he rest in Peace
I literally grew up on this. Hearing this while dozing off as a baby, even. It sure takes me back to a lot of times.
Most played record. I'm 53, first heard this in 1978. I have listened to this through just about every emotional experience I have had.
Still great for a sleepless night or to 0 my emotions.
Hard to beat
Right there with you mate. This is timeless music.................it`ll never get old. And I use it like you do, it`s powerful, it`s meditative, it`s healing, and Jean Michel Jarre......wow..............is hundreds of years ahead of his time. In 200 years, if humans haven`t fucked up The World by then, people like you and I, will listen to this, and feel exactly the same way then, as we feel now. He is " Pardon my french ".....a fucking genius !!!!!!
I first purchased the album when i was 13 in 1978 and until today Part I & II still throttles me into another dimension - I still get overwhelmed to tears of joy & fascination listening to this.

Just WOW! so many childhood memories came flooding back as I listen to Oxygene in 2021. Like so many other listers now in their 50 & 60’s this was a favourite bedtime album. I love reading all the comments of how JMJ has touched & subliminally influence our lives ✌️❤️
You are very right. Still love it to this day.
Yeah I’m 61 I bought the album in 1977
My dad used to listen to this album to sleep every night when I was 3 or 4 yrs old. It scared the hell out of me! 😢
Now I'm almost 29 and I love it lol
used to play it for my son (now in his 30's) he loved it, would play it on tape cassete (yeah im old lol) under the dinning room table with a big sheet over it, tried to get his imagination going...
Considero a Jean Michel Jarre el padre de la música electrónica. Gran productor pionero que a la fecha a sus 70 años sigue sorprendiendo con sus recientes creaciones musicales y conciertos. Aprovecho el espacio también para rendirle tributo a otro grande de la música electrónica: Edgar Froese quien partió de la tierra en el 2015.
Así es toda la electrónica tiene matices de él maestro jarre
El padre de la musica electronica es kraftwerk. Fue el primero y asi lo atestigua la historia.
@@adamantiuscloudcat1799 Luigi Russolo es el papá de los pollitos.
@@fipcha Russolo es un adelantado de la musica concreta, pero ese trono ya lo tiene Stockhausen. El problema es que de Russolo no queda ni una obra para referenciarse, todo fue destruido en la 2GM.
Excelente dato.
The greatest syntheseizer album ever. a masterpiece of music art.
It is Synthesizer
Det er simpelthen bare fantastisk. It is just fantastisk. The first from JMJ, i think. Simple,Sharp and hitting the nail of the hammer. Also made in the garage of Maurice Jarre (Dad) the first and best album ever.
Synthesizer is the American English spelling.Synthesiser is the British English spelling. Syntheseizer is just wrong.
Nope that would be John Foxx 's Metamatic.
@@Gingoose what a pathetic comment, nit picking over a spelling error. Cheer up and just enjoy the music.
I use to read the Lord of the Rings listening to that music. Felt like the perfect soundtrack for the book at this time. Was dreaming someone would produce a movie out of it. What a blessing this life has been 🙏🏼🙇🏼♂️
An what an epic trilogy they made.
My dad got me in to this music when I was so young, I remember watching the live concert together on TV when I was only 9 or 10. Great memories
My dad was an absolute addict when it came to Oxygen. Dolphin or not, he really knew what it meant to have a good piece of music to listen to. God... do I miss that grin.
My dads all time favorite album. Love and miss my pops. Best dad a girl could ever have. And his taste in music wasn’t to shabby ❤️
God bless my dad and your dad they both music
🤗
My father introduced me to this artist. I miss my father too..
Music, like scent often triggers profoundly emotional memories. May only the best ones fill your heart, mind & soul with each listening.
Your Dad is proud of you.
Every time I go to Faro, Portugal, I take this CD with me: put it on play and sit out in the sun drenched patio overlooking the sandy beach as I listen to the waves on the surf & the seagulls nearby and enjoy a large Guantanamera cigar with an extra large coffee. There is nothing on earth like it. Thanks for the upload.
Hey Jack.....that is the right way to enjoy J.M.J.
Sounds like a great idea!
@@dpc983 Hello, there dpc! Yep - I finally get to go back again after this mad lockdown - and I'm bringing the CD with me!
@@jsnowdendavies Yep! Heading back there again in July: just the right time of year!
I am totally with you buddy!!
I remember as an American sailor being in a club early at night first hearing this and going to the DJ asking who this was looking at the album and righting it down. I had to have it. I think I was in Palma de Mallorca Spain the summer of 77 or 78. This was like nothing I ever heard before.
I listened to these wonderful sounds in my uncle's car when I was a child in the early 80's and right from the start and as if I already knew those notes, as if they had always been inside me, almost as if I were an inhabitant of another planet and had already heard this kind of sound. And every time I listen to it it gives me goose skin! Like today, I'm 47 and it's incredible!
Aside from Jarre, does any other music remind you of another world? Vangelis ?
His music is timeless,purchased this album when it was released and now I am nearly 70 and it still sounds so fresh,also got the other albums ,Equinox and China
Albedo 0.39 is an album by Vangelis,not JM-J.
@@TheFokker03 well spotted ,I have a few Vangelis and Tomita albums
This was considered incredible for it's time. And I still it is in any time.
It's called: Timeless
Actually no - most of the music press of the time totally slagged it off. They were largely a bunch of prog rock obsessed middle aged men, who were already struggling just to come to terms with the arrival of punk, so had zero time for electronic music. The plaudits for Oxygene were largely retrospective - and in response to the fact that it sold so amazingly well. The listeners bought into it themselves at first, regardless of the judgements of the music media - who considered it bland and derivative. Given how it has gone on to stand the test of time, and how its reputation has grown, I think that makes for a more compelling story.
@@richardanderson8696 What?? Bland? i was in college at the time and this composer was hugely popular; i bought both Oxygene and Equinoxe. Immense. Right up there with Vangelis . . . .
@@eugwx9956To clarify - I'm not calling it bland and derivative, I'm talking about some of the initial negative reviews in the music press. The way you responded suggested you misread the comment.
Every time I specifically buy a window seat on an airplane just to listen to this album and look at the endless clouds. The best scenery for this music.
I was about 8 years old when my dad kept showing me his music. R.I.P. Dad I love you endless
My parents got this album for me Christmas 1976. Still have it today along with every other album jean Michel jarre released. This and concerts in China are my favorites though. I've enjoyed many different music styles and bands over the years, that have come and gone, but JMJ still remains 👍
Yes! Yes! My fav too!
First time heard this back in 1978. I am born in '69. Well , can't tell you why I am still listening and get exactly the same shivers down my spine today like in "78...I think I finally found out why :J..M.J. is a Moog genius !!!! I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Montreal few years ago. Smashing concert. Missing those days....Stay all of you safe.
i was born in 1944 and my son bought this when it came out
My father used to sit in the living room listening to his records and relaxing after work, almost in the dark, I always sat with him, for me this music was something strange and beautiful that hypnotized me. About 8 years ago I was lucky enough to see Jean Michel Jarre live in Barcelona, was simply incredible.
Tuve la suerte de ver a Jean Michel Jarré en vivo el 2018.... fue una experiencia de otro mundo. 30 años de compañía con sus piezas mágicas y finalmente llegó el gran momento de escucharlo ahí, de frente. Digno de contárselo a los nietos.

I love the impact this album has on animals. When I was a kid, it relaxed our dog to the point where he'd sleep on his back with his tongue hanging out to the side.
Playing this decades later, same impact on my cats..minus the tongue thing.. 😂
My cat liked Enya, she is my favourite female artist, little Merlin would curl up and sleep to the soft sounds of Enya singing.

Equinox und Oxygene, was für geniale Alben, als die Nadel noch knisterte und das Leben noch voll Hoffnung war. Auch das Konzert ´82 in China ein Meilenstein
war der Hammer. So schnell vergeht die Zeit, aber die Erinnerungen vergehen nie.
Now I know where my love for Deep House music comes from, I used to listen to this and Tangerine dream throughout my teens. Amazing to think this from the 70's
I saw Tangerine Dream live, at Expo 86 in Vancouver, BC. A roof-covered, open air venue, the audience stopped applauding by the second piece, transfixed as the sun set, the light was idyllic. A performance I'll never forget.

When I was a little kid, my mom listened these great songs a lot. I remember, I loved these too. Now I'm older, and I still listening to these songs.
Jak tego słucham za każdym razem wspominam przeszłość, dzieciństwo, czas który już nie wróci. Nostalgiczny utwór, klasyk.

A mí me trae siempre a mí adolescencia, con tantas cosas buenas y malas que viví... Me sigue tocando muy dentro
Hoy lo escucho y me sigue transportando como hace 45 años, la primera vez que lo escuché tenía 17 y al toque me compré el LP. No pasa ni con el tiempo éstos sonidos.
Still love Jean-MIchel as much as I did when this first came out. I love classical music, and this is a modern-day symphony.
The first I heard was Oxygen 4 which played on someone's radio on a beach in his country, France. I was 17. First I thought: "Wow, what is this?" It caught on right away. It was so out of the ordinary back then, you couldn't miss it! And you can't forget it either...it's like magic!
В 1978 году я впервые услышал JMJ. Я утонул в этой музыке и не могу,да и не хочу выплывать из этого чудесного плена звуков! Когда слушаю,мурашки по телу!!!
Сколько трепетных минут, с моими подругами , было проведено под эти фантастические мелодии! Мне, 63 года, но я всегда молод и очарован это музыкой!!!
Я тоже с подругами кайф ловил эх молодость джага-джага
J M Jarre did some awesome stuff back in the day. Very fond memories of a great era ,and some of the brilliant music which accompanied it.
In the 80 's , i told myself that this musique is revoltionary .
Today ,in 2021 , my opinion still hasn't changed.
IK, right? Seems we had so much more originality in the 60s to the 80s
This album had been released on 5th of December 1976.
That I call Evergreen
@@morticiaaddams7866 mmmmmlllpp.00
I was about 12 when i heard this on my parents Tesla GZ 711. This album never gets old. I still have the LP. Masterpiece!
I was 16 when I heard it for the first time and it is still alive for me.
Ő volt a szintetizátor zene istene!! Minden gép zenének az alapja! Minden itt kezdődött! Köszönöm, hogy ezen a zenén nőhettem fel. Köszönöm Michel....innen magyarországról! Etalon vagy! (60 éves vagyok)
My first contact with JMJ Music was in 1985 Zoolook album..I was 15 years old..And this OPENED my mind for any possibilities of sounds and made me love New Age/Space Music forever. He's pioneer and mentor and visionary. Not just about performance...But for the entire show...For the entertainment - He's The One.
Слушаю этого музыканта с 1981 года-ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ!!!
Yo también desde 1976
At my 16-year-old that cover indicated me what some humans were doing to the planet; and still does.
✨👽✨
How did he composed this in the 1970s it's outstanding 🙏
my intro to this album was April 12th, 1985. the day after my 18th birthday. it still is a masterpiece
Desde niño descubrí esta musica,diferente,maravillosa y me sigue fascinando...
yo tambien soy fan desde chamaco y ya llevo 3 decadas :D
This album is timeless and beautiful
Avevo 10 anni quando l'ho ascoltato per la prima volta, una rivelazione, ho viaggiato anch'io nel tempo e nello spazio. J Micheal forever
Ringrazio mio fratello per questo.
J.-M. Jarre - Oxygene and Tangerine Dream - Rubycon, without a doubt, the two best works of electronic ambient music.
They are really good, I like Stratosfear by tangerine Dream too.
I also recently checked out Klaus Schulze and the album Timewind Which I had never heard before And
Klaus was a member of Tangerine Dream but did solo work too.
I have recently started being nostalgic and searching out the old music I use to listen to.
Tangerine Dream Live is the BEST electronic album of all time. LMJ comes in a close second.
I am listening to this for the very first time in my life today August 1, 2021 at the stroke of midnight. I've heard many like it, but this is the first of its kind. It sounds like it could have released today. I love it. Thank you.
Welcome, this most certainly won’t be the last time you listen to it, it’s my second personally, I forgot just how incredible it is
Welcome aboard :)
May i advise you to try two another Jean-Michel Jarre’s musical album ? « Equinoxe » and « concert in China / concert en Chine ».
Really wonderfull too :)
(Sorry for my rusted english 😆
And yes : « Rendez-Vous ». (Created for a concert in Houston.) Amazing too !
Zoolook is another strange but wonderful album as well, one of my favorites!!
To only experience this music again for the first time. I wish it could happen to me again every midnight.
Love this guy.... Always have.. you can get lost in his synthesizer...
I had forgotten just how good this is. Twenty years ahead of it's time!
Great music. I started listening to this oxygen in early twenties in cassette format. Now l am sixty plus still loving it. Gobi from Malaysia.
I'm the same age as you Gobi. I love this piece too.
Quite simply the best piece of electronic music & one of the best pieces of music ever/full stop/the end.
It somehow manages to bypass the brain and heads straight to the heart and soul.
I've probably listened to the original album literally thousands of times and it's still inspirational and fresh on each new listen.
Incredible.
Bravo.
one of JM-J's greatest works imo.still sounds great after 45 years!
My mom played it my entire childhood. All. The. Time. The actual first soundtrack I can consciously remember when I was like 3. I'm 31 now.
A timeless classic. Like many here I heard this when it first came out back in the late 1970's as a child. My uncle bought the album and my cousin & I would sit and listen to it repeatedly staring at the fantastic cover art. I shall never ever get tired of listening to this
Hah! I done much the same..kinda?
I bought my Dad a hifi stack system back in the 80s, just before they 'progressed' from selling the record player part in favour of seperates..??
We used to sit at night, in the dark and he constantly messed around with the graphic equaliser, trying to get that perfect sound? Lol
He had these lights on the front that lit up in time with the music and JMJ Oxygen/Equinox, made them seem like they were flashing off into the distance..
Anyway, if you listen to Oxygen in stereo with headphones, you'll know the part where the music jumps back and forth from left to right?? AMAZING!!!
JMJ & my Dad would've gone on to write the last epic if my Dad had anything to do with it! Lol
Funny how this takes me straight back to that stack system??
Great days, timeless music and great fun.. 👍
Sublime still, amazingly it transports me without herbs...
hhhhhhhhhhh

Started with this one and bought all JMJ recordings after. Even flew half way around the world to the Pyramids to be there for the millennial "12 Dreams of the Sun" concert.
When was that concert?
@@fionaallen4136 Hi, New Years Eve 1999. We counted down to 2000 at midnite. JMJ came back out for a sunrise set. There is a concert video. Behind the stage during Oxygene 4 many penguins were walking across the dunes. Cheers Fiona. Yuma,AZ.

Not many modern musicians/composers we can call genius. Jean-Michel Jarre is a genius.
Indeed ...!!!
I would add Mike Oldfield!!
C EST UNE MUSIQUE QUI FATIGUERA LE TEMPS
C EST UN ALBUM IMMUABLE QUI RESTERA GRAVÉ DANS LE MARBRE
QUE LES GÉNÉRATIONS FUTURES CONTINUERONS A ÉCOUTER...!
Reminds me of a trip to sea life in France with dad where this album was played continuous. Imagine how cool was that
I wanna go there!
Listening to it now... bought the album back in whenever - I'm 65 now and it's still so amazing to listen to thank you so much J M Jarre xx
I'm discovering this amazing sound now and I feel like I'm in a Ray Bradbury dream. Great!
As an old dude, I can just recollect when I just discovered Ray Bradbury and a decade later this incredible music. You will cherish this for the rest of your life.
I remember growing up listening to this music and meditating to it and even going to the coast at night time listening to it, it's really cool
Me recuerda mis sueños infantiles de viajar al espacio....aún sigo siendo ñoña y soñadora! jaja, que buenos tiempos!!
I first heard this in band class when it came out. The instructor Mr.Cave(best music teacher I ever had) was playing this in the music room at lunch. I remember being so impressed with this cause I was taking piano lessons at the time.
And imagine how he could do this with analog technics. No DAW, no 1024 tracks, no millisecond corrections, no unlimited number of tries and free editing. Unbelievable.
And a piece of art. For me this album is the ultimate universe music. Only "Shine on you crazy diamond" plays in this space travel league.
Gen Z have no idea. They have missed 100 years of music and movies and havent clue what quality is, In 1970 it took buckets of talent and skill to make music, and it was a hard slog, you had to do your apprenticeship in clubs and bars and bands that didnt go anywhere, and the cream of the tryers eventually floated to the top.. Half the bands and singers around today wouldnt have got past the local Talent Scout in 1970.
It never grows old, always good...GENIUS!!!
First album I had bought with my own pocket money. I am 55 years old now and still love it as much as yesterday.
Meins auch
Lost the love of my life last October 2021 💔 😪 we listened to this when we first started living together in the 70 s brings back wonderful memories ❤️
A radio station played a side of Oxygene in the 70’s one evening as I sat up late that night in my dorm room laboring over an operational amplifier circuit I was building. Eventually I went on to win a competition with that circuit and a film project that went with it. I’ve always felt this music help inspire me that night.
a good pair of headphones, and a master, still connected to his audience and work.
Another one of my dads musical influences on me. I miss sitting listening to this with him 💜 I have part of this as my ringtone
When I was a kid, I'd listen to JMJ to see colours and shapes in my mind. Doesn't happen anymore unfortunately, but still love the music.
It is called synesthesia. I had a friend that had it and I envied them.
Thanks, I knew it was a thing, just couldn't remember the name.
Good memories about my dad.
Oxygen and Equinox are both my all time favorites by JMJ!!!!!
The same for me!
Masterpieces.
That's also when it was the most influential. The later albums in the 80's sound less groundbreaking as by that time similar sounds were used in pop music, and as a result they sound more dated (although there's a 80's synth appeal too). But this and Equinox sound more timeless.
ANOTHER DIMENSION SOUND WONDERFUL

Piękna Muzyka😊
It´s incredible that Jean Michel Jarre was recording his two albums Oxygene and Equinoxe in his kitchen. The sound is so awesome. Did he made his track recordings on an 8 track reel tape recorder or an 16 track reel tape recorder ? Who knows. But the incredible things is, that Jarre managed to get a great sound out of recorded tracks in his kitchen on a multitrack reel tape recorder. 😀
Esa MUSICA, esa CARATULA, y hasta el NOMBRE, yo era un niño, y de eso que imaginaban mucho, me pasaba las horas escuchandola, me parecia que venia a contarnos el futuro, y que yo estuviera alli, podia ver el comienzo y fin de una ultima y terrible guerra, la agonia, la desolacion, el arrepentimiento, y los despojos de planeta y humanidad diseminados en esa musica, tambien la redencion y la bondad y la gloria de algo inmensamente superior, tal vez llamado DIOS. Tenia 8 años cuando escuche por primera vez esta musica, quede hipnotizado, FUERA de este mundo. Mi Padre me lo regalo poco despues, hoy en dia le valoro y agradezco mucho mas, ya que no eramos muy pudientes, no podia entender como a casi nadie le gustaba esa MUSICA, recien ahora entiendo que el mal gusto, lo facil, y hasta lo decadente cunde, y lo bueno queda relegado. simplemente gracias JARRE!
Muy buena interpretación de tu vivencia!! Un abrazo desde La Plata, Argentina!
La buena música nos hermana!!!
