40 years after the huge international impact of ‘Oxygene,’ and 20 years from its second volume ‘Oxygene 7-13,’ Jean-Michel Jarre is fulfilling a trilogy of albums with ‘Oxygene 3!’
Containing seven newly composed and recorded pieces, consistently titled parts 14-20, his inspiration for the newly added parts on ‘Oxygene 3’ was not to go back in time, but to add a sense of “now” to his iconic piece of work.
Plunging into the environment of ‘Oxygene’ with its highly original dark, moody and at times quite upbeat musical language, Jarre references some of the music from his entire body of work on ‘Oxygene 3.’
It’s a state-of-the-art recording, embracing both classic and modern ways of music production.
