Free Music Review: The BEST Jarre Album
Hit: 2 Stars
As a teenager, I listened to Jean-Michel Jarre's music endlessly. My first concert was one of his, and anyone else's work was, well, just not worth listening to. Equinoxe was then, and remains, his best work.So why only two stars? Well, in retrospect, I can now see that I fawned over my JMJ tapes not because they were good, but because I didn't know any better. The reality is that anyone with a decent synth and editor could cobble this kind of stuff together in their back bedroom. You can't even say it was ahead of its time, as plenty of other artists were using the technology.
The best track is probably #5, which opens with the crack of thunder and downpour of rain. It's a shame the rest of the album isn't more ambient or I might still have been listening to it.
