[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 1098238, member: 2475"] I was still a child when Jean Michel Jarre released Oxygene: Not only did it take up the entire advertising window of the Record Shop next to Bloemfontein's Roma Coffee Bar in the "Arcade" but it took over the airways. From Edwill van Aarde (OK maybe I'm exaggerating) to John Berks, everyone played "Oxygene" Part Four. Doom de Doom Doom, Dumm. Not only was Jarre attractive he also was talented, rich, famous and (bastard oh bastard) that most goddess-like of women, Charlotte Rampling, was his girlfriend! The result is that the record never got bought or played. Until 1 week ago, that is. Somehow the record got into my selection and given my love for Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Can, Neuman, Ultravoxx etc. became glaring in its absence. So, I played it: Doom, te doom, doom... Dumm. And it is magnificent. Even though every sound is man-made and cannot be connected to the Absolute Sounds, "music reproduction closest to the recreation of the live instrument" my more modern, more high-end system can pull more from the sound I last heard 40 or more years ago, give deeper insight of how that music was made and generate more enjoyment from that music than any memory, no matter how rose coloured by the romance of time, can make it sound. Doom, te doom-doom, Dumm! [/QUOTE]
