  • I totally agree with the comments before me...

  • Its nearly impossible for most people to understand the huge effort, creativity and pioneering equipment that went into producing this music......and at such a young age Jean is without a doubt a true genius and has given so much to this world to make our often boring and seemingly insignificant lives that much better....thank you Jean michel jarre for giving such amazing soul searching and heart felt music from your creative genius mind!

  • @MrCOLTSR2 Totally agree with this... Nowadays the "musicians" even can't imagine what they should have to do making the world so much better then Jarre did! Congratulatios, Jean, too!

  • This reminds me of the water theme from the first Donkey Kong Country, which means it rules!!

  • Beautiful sound. It evokes memories that I shall treasure for eternity.

  • Beautiful....

  • Sound from analog synth was so great....

  • Eminent 310 & Smallstone phaser & JMJ. A perfect match like no other.

  • Although many of Jarre's pieces conjure images of space and other anomalies, this song is like a trip around a beautiful garden with the warm sun filtering through the trees at the beginning then it slowly begins to rain and become windy.

    It seems this track is often neglected. I could not disagree more and think it is a perfect fit and wonderful track.

  • AH~ IT GOES ON.....

    A JOURNEY TO THE GALAXY.

    SO SO MYSTERIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL.

    I HAD THIS LP IN 1997.

    HE REIGNS.

    I was born in Indonesia and i know what Holland did there very long ago. I live in Holland now and i have nice friends and work with nice people. It's about respect i think.

    70's JMJ <-- [SEAL OF APPROVAL]

  • @shaahb1 The fact is : this is not trance ,this is what influenced electronic music so that finally trance/ambient (aso) styles borned years after ...

  • Jean Michel Jarre = One of the few redeeming properties of France!

  • @neil73

    What country are you from f.cktard ?

  • @Caladobo I'm from the country that got France out of the shit on 3 separate occasions in the last 140 odd years, Twat.

  • @neil73

    I don't see any country responding to this description. Maybe you should check your history books, ignorant.

  • @Caladobo It was a joke - as you were the first to start calling names, but in answer to your comment - England got France out of trouble in 1870, 1914-18 and 1939-45

  • @neil73

    You have a very... English vision of the things. In 1870 France lost so I don't see any country getting us "out of trouble" at the time. In 14-18, France and England fought hand in hand (Triple entente), but the French army was strong at the time. British help was a plus. In WW2, again, both countries fought together but France was defeated. Throughout all these times, France's problem was his neighbour, Germany. England = island = no neighbour, no problem.

  • @Caladobo You are absolutely right but can you both please stop talking about war and start listening some music!

  • @Caladobo Yeah that's why in WW2 England had to deal with German bombing raids...... No problem, right?

  • @neil73 And honestly it was mostly America that really got France out of trouble in 1939-1945, and all of Europe after WW2 with the Marshall Plan...

    USA FTW

  • @g3rmz23 Brainwashed by Hollywood?

  • Phänomenal !!

  • @salchat1

    Il arrive tout le temps.

  • I guess you don`t understand `a black sense of humor`. Also any leader in war time is also guilty of mass murder by your way of thinking. All a matter of perspective.

  • Un délice pour les oreilles... Celà me rappelle quelques décénnies en arrière. Merci Jean Michel et merci Jacky 386 pour nous en faire profiter.

  • Watch on Vimeo DJ Mashup Part I: with Frédéric Chopin, Trentemøller & Jean Michel Jarre...you can find it by Tigermaan name ;) Cheers

  • Jean Michel Jarre is the best thing out of France since Napoleon.

  • This is one of my favorite songs of his albums, very soothing...

  • My favourite part of the album. Very moving...

  • 4:37 theremine ;O !!

  • This is the pioneer of Ambient Space Music ..

    The synth programming still stands its ground even today!

  • omg this is amazing relaxin music<3 i really love it!!!

  • amazing.

  • just like to say i love this i got from hmv

  • so beautiful and melancholic <3

  • I already heard jean michel jarre before when I was young. But yesterday I wanted to test my new Headphone (SHR840) I knew it was somekind of music to use many sounds. I fell in love. Im 23 and currently studying to be a music producer and by interim a composer. I dont know if Ill be able to get money from it because nowaday with the big MTV commercial music. Anyway, when im listening to this I dont really care what I will produce. The beauty come from the head and the heart of the artist. HOPE

  • @biomecaNICK the world really needs music producers like you

  • @biomecaNICK Step one to being a producer: listening to music on youtube isn't your ticket to quality and is a waste of expensive headphones.

  • @FredWallace18 I have oxygene and equinox CD's. and I dont think a good pair of headphones is a waste when you cant play your music loud in your appartement.

  • @buokopter Kraftwerk was so overly simplistic that they really had no substance. People talk about them these days like they were profound and innovative; they say they were "ahead of their time." Well, there was a lot more complex electronic music around at the very time Kraftwerk was putting out their shallow crap.

  • strange... but beautiful...

  • jarre, olfield and vangelis are the best

  • A FEW MILLION YEARS FRONT OF OUR SEASON'S...

    JEAN MICHEL JARRE SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF UNIVERSE!!!

  • in some of Jarre's lesser known tracks (such as this one) there are little string adagios hidden with amazing harmonic writing... totally escaped my consciousness until recently when I went back to analyze how he made this music.

    On this later LPs (after Zoolook) these somehow are missing, I think that's the true reason why his later stuff doesn't resonate with me that much anymore.

    I think people never noticed how much this substance supported the overall appearance of his albums.

  • Wielkość J.M. Jarre można porównać do Bacha ,Mozarta i Chopina naszych czasów, niesamowite wyczucie,lekkość i transcydentalność kompozycji

    Zachwycam się jego utworami od połowy lat 80'tych i nie mam jeszcze dość

    szacunek za genialność

  • simply jarre is a genius before his time.....but has inspired a generation

  • this music is sweet....

  • Seit meiner Jugend begleitet mich dieser Musiker. Danke dafür!

  • I agree. They is mastapieces!

  • @ Sputnixen: indeed, they are the masterpieces!

  • Simplesmente fantastico e bem elaborado, conheço todas as musicas desta serie equinoxe e oxygene.

  • i listened to this in my bed with my headphones on when i was 12, 41 now... still gets me;)

  • @atzenanu :))

    I feel the same,even im not 41...First time i listen Jarre music when i was 5,in radio commercial,and it trap me for ever..:))

  • i have been looking for anythng from jarre and finaly i have found him here on youtube its fantastic. I have been listening to his music for over 25 years.thank you

  • brilliant

  • love the sound of the waves.

  • ITs a sad one this for deaths etc

  • Música Eletrônica de primeira. Música envolvente. Jarre é um ótimo tecladista, parece que os sons ecoam dos cosmos. Maravilhosa!

  • A pure marvel.

  • Jarre a été un de ces défricheurs qui ont très vite su tirer la quintessence des machines jusqu'à les faire oublier. C'est sans doute le Satie de la musique électronique, à l'exception près que Jarre aura connu le succès de son vivant. A classer aux côtés des plus grands compositeurs français comme Gainsbourg, Magma et tant d'autres...

  • At the time I was completely oblivious toward the expressive adagio for strings that this pieces includes...

  • He's married to Charlotte Rampling AND he wrote this. You can't get more jammy than that!

  • @tilerman

    "The marriage was publicly dissolved in 1997 when she found out via tabloid newspaper stories about Jarre's affairs with other women and (she) had a nervous breakdown" (wikipedia on Charlotte)

  • j'ai découvert jean-michel a l'age de 15 ans aujourd'hui j'en ai 47 et et quand j'écoute jarre c'est toujour avec la meme émotion je ne m'en lasserai jamais merci jean-michel j'adore tout ce que tu fait bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If you make an 'oo' shape and sound with your mouth and from there, steadily open your mouth as wide as possible, you can create the 'phaser' effect like heard in this track!!!

  • I know what you mean, you can create the 'flanger' effect in a similar method but that's moving your mouth a lot quicker, lol!

  • @neil73

    I used to do this all the time when I was a child. This method is basically the mechanical equivalent of an analogue filter. Our vocal tract is basically made of a tube, which opens and closes at certain points, causing different frequencies of the buzzer in our throat to be removed, creating vowels.

  • perfect does not even cover his work!!!

  • Extra ce morceau ! très aventureux , fait voyager rien qu'en fermant les yeux. Et puis que de souvenirs, merci Monsieur Jarre et respect pour votre talent

  • Its the same tune played in different tempos and arrangments,same idea as Vivaldis 4 seasons really,

  • I love this music-style.

    JMJ is the master of electronic sounds.

    Free your mind...;)

  • @Skywalker19731

    it's ambient music

  • both oxygene and equinoxe is masterpieces!

  • @Sputnixen those are the best ones,,,, also zoolook...

  • @Sputnixen

    They should be combined to form 'Equinoxygene'.

  • @Sputnixen

    ...are...

  • @Sputnixen  ARE masterpieces not IS ;)

  • @Sputnixen So true!

  • @Sputnixen ARE masterpieces!!!

  • timeless beautiful music

  • Equinoxe is the living proof that music critics and journalists don't REALLY listen to albums... They quote Oxygène all the time, but Equinoxe is easily as good. Period.

  • I agree. I prefer Equinoxe over Oxygene also. I, however, believe Oxygene is a more important album than Equinoxe were at the time. Oxygene could easily be one of the most important albums of all time in that genre but, Equinoxe is better :)

  • This is very deep x) !

  • Ich liebe !!

  • This is as good as it can possibly ever get. ; )

  • I remember i had all Jarres albums on tape and back then i tried to figure out when the songs started and ended. It was difficult since sone song went into the next one.

  • same here...it's like the first mix ever :) you put the tape and you don't stop until the album is over

  • Beautiful sound. The music of the Universe. Congratulations Mr. Jean Michel Jarre. nº1.

  • Ahhh, Erinnerungen an die Kindheit!!!

    Als ich das erste mal im Planetarium war lief dieses Stück- absolut prägend!

  • Brilliant, moving and awe inspiring piece - and to think this was recorded in 1978!!! In could just as easly be an adagio track on a modern dance album. Boy o boy, fabulous.

  • Spectacular work. So much detail it's unreal. Truely great EDM.

  • This was it.... LSD, friends, beauty and fantasy.... mid eighties

  • Without Jarre, electronic influences in todays music would still be in its childhood!

    Jarre's arrangements are absolutely awesome masterpieces!

  • Wow. First time hearing Jean. I'm never going to forget this moment. Enlightening music.

  • You're lucky to hear one of his best works ever.

  • One of the most haunting pieces of music I´ve ever listened to, let the music take you to the unknown places of your mind!

  • These are the same sounds my brain utters.

  • this music would be awesome in the upcoming bioshock 2.

  • If it weren't for the likes of Jarre then there would be no Prodigy :P

  • children should NOT have access to Internet :/

  • A high water mark in electronic music - peerless ...

  • @PatGleeson123 Nail on the head,

  • This song reminds me of an expedition into the deepest parts of the sea, an unknown abyss......

  • this is duty bound for fall out 4 on the x box that would scare the shite out yeah make it happen

  • i grew up listening to all types of music..when i ventured out back in the late 70s, i found that Kraftwerk & Jean michel Jaree were from a time where this was the music of the futur..it is so sadd that music went backwards....the composition, the depth, the unexpected is awesome

  • A very beautiful mixture of melancholy, poetry, solitude and strageness. Hypnotic also.

    A certain definition of the universes probably.

  • 7 STARS ******* !

  • this is what modern is all about... it transcends time... this will be as good as it was yesterday.. and today and then tomorrow....

  • zeitlose Musik

  • amazing

  • I love Equinoxe!!!

  • Very beautiful and profound song! Thank you for posting!

  • Un auténtico adagio clásico.

    Evoca el misterio de la ciencia y el cosmos.

  • If you were floating in space this is what you would want to be listening to.

  • or oxgene

  • i've heard most of jarre's music, and i think after oxygene and equinoxe, he never did anything so good as those two albums...no matter how hard he tried...

  • I'm telling you, mate! The concerts in China, Magnetic field and Zoolook were just as good as Oxygene and Equinox were. I'm pretty sure.

  • Too true!

  • I loved Magnetic Fields,Arpegiator from China is amazing and ethnicolor from Zoolook is great too.

  • One of my favorite Jarre musics is The Magnetic fiels 3, Orient express (Concerts in China), and Blah Blah café (Zoolook). They are terrific. Do any of you know, and eventually like Kraftwerk? They are my favorite autors

  • Who doesnt know Kraftwerk ?

  • Who doesnt know J.M.Jarre? Who doesnt know Vangelis? Who doesnt know Tangerin Dream? Who doesnt know Giorgio Moroder? Who doesnt know Mike Oldfield, Kitaro, Tomita, Klaus Schultz, Didier Marouani... If u love electronic music, u HAVE to know thier work...

  • Indeed and seens as i know all them i must ;)Dont forget Eno and Sakamoto too,i know you could keep adding,so many over the years.

  • don't forget Bruce Haack!

  • Yep, i totally agree...

  • I kind of agree with you but there are parts of magnetic fields which are wonderful and if you havent heard his album Geometry of love from a few years ago check it out,a real return to form i think after a bad decade in the 90's from him.I think he tried to copy the commercial dance scene from that time instead of just being himself,which is infinitely better :)

  • zoolook,magnetic fields and all the rest were amazing too. not to mention oxygene 7-13

  • sounds really nerdy what you just said

  • I've known Jean's music for 32 years - from my childhood I love his spiritual music, full of feelings, wonderful, no more words to describe. I hope he'll never stop creating.

  • Thanks for uploading.

  • Ca fait du bien de revenir aux sources .

    Quel bonheur !

  • i "know" jmj for about 15 years now. should mean i heard about him about 15 years ago. i heard tracks of him

    and just thought, well thats jmj...and decided i like it but nothing more, didn´t listen to his music anymore...but today i´m absolutley amazed. i think he really "wrote" some all time classics. in such moments i realize what a great thing internet and especially youtube is. thanks a lot !!! btw.: peace out to all over the world

  • Jarre's music seems really dated in this era. But you just have to see the videos of how they played Oxygene and put yourselves in mid/late seventies shoes to realise just how ground-breaking he was. Much of dance music would not have happened if it weren't for the techniques and treatment of music that this man developed. And much of dance music sadly has been too trendy to admit his influence.

  • Some people say this music is dated. Beethoven is still being played today. His music is classical. This music is Modern classical. This cannot be compared to ANY dance music...lol
