Just a quick word on 'Oxygene' which in my humble opinion still has to be surpassed. It sounds like a concept album but JMJ insists that there was no concept whereas Equinoxe is. Equinoxe is about a day in the life of an average man. That's why the opening phrase sounds like an alarm clock going off. Anyway - back to Oxygene - if ever I need to chill out, relax and go to sleep - this album always does it for me. Sure I can listen to it and enjoy it, start to finish - but if I really need to get forty winks, I put this on and I'm gone. Far more effective than all that medical crap people are taking to achieve the same result. Something totally unique about it. Think it is those swirling (phasing & flanging) backgound keyboard sounds. Far out (as they used to say).
