Electronica 1: The Time Machine (Deluxe Edition)

This is the album of a master in electronic music. The tracks are very different, so this album is a collection of collaborations. Jarre explains he wished to blend the DNA of different musicians sharing a passion for electronic music. Every track is a marvel, but you have to pay attention to them separately. Vince Clarke's Automatic 1 & 2 have the typical Jarre's melody, exciting and dynamic. Those pieces are very complex in the arrangements and is a pleasure to follow all the details. Close Your Eyes, with Air, is a sophisticated game, using many different instruments. It sounds like Air, it sounds like Jarre, and it is a demonstration of creativity, inspiration and craft. Laurie Anderson's Rely on Me is intelligent, elegant and imaginative, maybe the best collaboration between Jarre and Anderson to date. Gesaffelstein's Conquistador and Massive Attack's Watching You are dark tracks, and a perfect blend of Jarre's pioneering music (Jarre did tracks like these decades ago) and the vanguard electronic music of our days. The best track is Zero Gravity, with Tangerine Dream. It reminds me Jarre's Arpegiator, but incorporating a touching melody. Carpenter's A Question of Blood is an excellent example of how Jarre modifies the trajectory of the invited musicians. Compare this track with those of Carpenter's Lost Themes album. And I stop here. I have commented only half of this album. You should look at it not like a conceptual unified album, but like a coffer full of refulgent different jewels.

Jean Michel Jarre es único,por eso me gusta, lo descubri con Chronologie por allá en el 1993,una experiencia inolvidable.. Le sigo desde entonces. Gracias Jean Michel,fuente de inspiración. Contigo aprendí a amar cada nota, cada segundo de tu música,y valorar a otros artistas también. Me encanta🎹🇫🇷 Regálanos más en una buena Gira.. Gracias🎧🎼🎶🎵. Eres un tipo con Clase al que admiro mi punto de referencia Musical.

Vuelve Jean Michel Jarre con música que recuerda a las obras maestras como Chronology y Oxygene 7-13, disco muy recomendable.

Antes del lanzamiento tenía mala impresión del nuevo disco. Hoy escuchando en iTunes no me ha quedado ninguna duda para hacerme con el, soy muy fan de Jean Michel Jarre por eso lo voy a adquirir desde iTunes y también en CD.

I Love it.....Magnificient!!! Jarre is Jarre.....always...

Masterpice from the master of electronic music. Great album and great collaborations. Thanks JMJ, your music is the soundtrack of my life.
