      One of the most influential albums of all time. It still sounds fantastic today nearly 50 years after it was released.

          Honestly I've had this vinyl for a long time and just listened to it and was very surprised. Way ahead of its time. It's an incredibly surreal electronic journey to listen to. Any synthwave / retro wave fans would absolutely love this album.

            Music: 5/5
            Record: 5/5

            Great sounding record. Similar to french issue. Flat and quiet.

              There is something about this record that just cannot be explained in words. You really have to listen to it to know how beautiful it is.

              I first heard this record when I brought it from a record store a few months ago. I had heard Jean Michel Jarre's music before but not oxygene. When I got the record home and dropped that needle down I had the biggest surprise of my life! It was the best thing that had ever entered my ears. This music just takes you to another world and allows your mind to make it's own visualizations. If you like electronic music, you HAVE to get this album! It's easy to find in record stores and even easier on Discogs!
