A vinyl that was given to me, ok the quality is a simple vinyl re-upgrade of the analog, but it doesn't cost anything -

Höre dieses Meisterwerk nach langer Zeit mal wieder von vorne bis hinter durch. Wow, nicht um 1 Sekunde gealtert. Immer noch sehr empfehlenswert für alle die elektronische Musik gerne hören. -

This is the best pressing I've heard. Very rich and dynamic sound. WOW! -

Pressage de superbe qualité ! Un son mordant et limpide.... -

Je connais depuis peu le travail de cet artiste électronique. Je l'ai entendu pour la première fois par un mardi après-midi calme et agréable. Il m'a laissé une grande impression, j'ai aimé chaque chanson. Un album très influent, surtout si l'on tient compte de l'année d'enregistrement. On y ressent la modernité de notre monde et en même temps ce qui est en train de détruire la civilisation sur la planète. Les deux parties ont un début et une fin. Entre ces deux concepts, il y a quelque chose "au milieu" qui décide de la naissance ou de la mort de chaque morceau. Chacun peut l'interpréter comme il l'entend, le voit ou le ressent, car l'album s'est révélé multiforme depuis plusieurs décennies, et peut-être pour toujours. Jean Michel Jarre a peint plus d'un tableau pour le public, mais c'était le début de ses idées, qu'il a ensuite développées ! Merci pour ces quarante minutes d'écoute... -

Just like travelling without moving back to the 1970s decade. -
Avoid this pressing and find a Dreyfus pressing. Sony has ruined JMJ’s catalog. Lifeless, dropouts, distortion. Note track 6 has the channels swapped.

I'm blown away by the sound quality of this record. Unbelievable, this is as good as it gets. -

Surprisingly solid pressing of one of the greatest early electronic albums of all time. It's kind of crazy that you can pick these up for peanuts, I got mine as part of a cheap lot, and even though it's a VG+, it sounds NM-. Can't go wrong. -

Le david guetta des années 70. Il jouait aussi avec un doigt ! Soporifique.
