Equinoxe

"Equinoxe" was released in 1978. It was composed with sequencers, particularly on the bass, and features a more baroque and classical style than "Oxygene", with more emphasis on melodic development.

Digitally remastered edition of this 1978 album from the French composer, performer and music producer. Jean Michel, the son of acclaimed film composer Maurice Jarre, is a pioneer in the Electronic, Ambient and New Age genres. Apart from his recorded output, Jean Michel Jarre is also fondly known as an organizer of outdoor spectacles of his music featuring lights, laser displays, and fireworks. Jean Michel has gone on to sell well over 80 million albums in the course of 40 years.

Équinoxe (English: Equinox) is the fourth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released in December 1978 on the Disques Dreyfus record label, with license to Polydor. Jarre had developed his sound, employing more dynamic and rhythmic elements, particularly a greater use of sequencing on basslines. Much of this was achieved using custom equipment developed by his collaborator Michel Geiss. The album is presented as two suites of music, each consisting of 4 parts and taking up one side of the vinyl release of the album. The separate tracks on the record smoothly segue into each other to this effect. The album reached number 11 on the UK Album Chart and number 126 on the US Billboard 200 chart.

Here's the 'Équinoxe' album from 1978. Every track is an electronic gem even though some crystal gazers now call this 'Dream' or 'New Age' music, WTF?! Anyway, my favourites are Équinoxe Part 5 and Équinoxe Part 7.
