Jean-Michel Jarre / Oxygene 3 plus Oxygene Trilogy box set
Jean-Michel Jarre will release a new album, Oxygene 3, in December, 40 years after the original Oxygene album brought the French musician mainstream success. The release will be available separately or as part of an Oxygene Trilogy.
Commenting on the new album Jarre noted “What made the first Oxygene so different at the time, is probably the minimalist aspect, and the fact that there are almost no drums, and I wanted to keep this approach, creating the groove mainly with the sequences and the structure of the melodies only, through an architecture of sounds.”
Referring to the constraints of the vinyl record he added “in the vinyl days, I had a structure in mind divided in 2 parts, fitting the A&B sides of an album. This time I enjoyed doing the same: one side being darker, the other being brighter. So when I think of it today, Oxygene 3 has actually two sides…”
Oxygene 3 is available on CD and vinyl and the trilogy is available as a 3CD or 3LP vinyl set. An Oxygene Ultimate Trilogy box will be available for pre-order soon which comprises the three albums on CD, all of them on 180g clear vinyl and an Oxygene ‘coffee table’ book.
Everything is due for release on 2 December 2016. The prices are a bit all over the place, as you’ll see below.
