Free Music Notes for Oxygene Album
Free Music Review: overrated pop synth album
Hit: 3 Stars
upon reading reviews and listening to friends adulation over this album, i was eager and excited to listen to this cd. sadly, after listening to oxygene, i was a bit disappointed and frankly don't know what the fuss is about. jean michel jarre perhaps made electronic music accessible to the masses, but this is not the greatest electronic album ever as some reviewers here have suggested. there were artists before him that made electronic music of a higher quality than this. personally, i found his album to be very pop and commercial. this may be fine to some, but it seemed like jarre was able to use existing electronic elements and produce them into a catchy (sometimes corny) melody. making electronica melodic may be an admirable effort, but frankly the melody just isn't as good as ppl make it out to be. yes it has melody, but at times the songs sound very cheesy and as if one were at a polka. thats just my opinion. i think tangerine dream, kraftwerk, tonto's expanding headband, and perhaps juan atkins have done more important and better quality electronica than this. this album is ok, but is overrated. personally, i enjoyed his later addition, oxygene 7-13, more than i did this album.
