About this album

Oxygène is Jean-Michel Jarre’s landmark breakthrough, a 1976 electronic album that helped bring synthesiser music to a wide popular audience. Built from six interconnected parts, it combines melodic clarity with detailed electronic textures, creating a sound that was both accessible and forward-looking. Jarre recorded the album at home using an array of analogue synthesizers and effects, turning limited resources into a distinctive signature. Its success established him as one of the key names in electronic music and made Oxygène a reference point for ambient, synth-pop and experimental work that followed.
