History has been kinder to Oxygene, which was received poorly when it was released in 1976. It was Jean Michel Jarre’s first album that wasn’t a soundtrack, but it still sounds like one, and critical comparisons to Tangerine Dream are valid. But the synths on Oxygene sound terrific and it made a lot of new listeners appreciate electronic music, selling over 12 million worldwide. Oxygene is a good album if you are looking for cinematic synthesizer sounds or a fun listen to an electronic music classic.
