Oxygène

1 porque no le puedo dar menos

no...

I can’t take it.

Bad video game music

Didn’t do it for me.

Not for me. Wasn't bad music, just a little avent garde for my typical listening. Cool to hear old electronic music and learn more about it.

I do not think electronic music is my thing sooo

Yea, not for me. Tough to make it to the end.

Not as objectionable as some other electronic stuff. If you ask me, though, this is stinky poo poo!

This electronic album drifts like a slow satellite arc—cool, luminous, and a little distant—gliding through space on glowing synth trails. Basically getting a glimpse is okay, listening trough the whole thing: boring.

Too cold

Album 977 of 1089 Oxygène - Jean-Michel Jarre (1976) Rating : 1 / 5 I’ll give it credit where it’s due: if you’re in a meditative mood, this could probably set the atmosphere just fine. It’s calm, spacious, floaty… all the things ambient electronic fans look for. But as far as listening for pure pleasure? This one just isn’t for me. After a while it felt less like music and more like an album of sound effects stitched together. I can understand its importance in the electronic world, and I’m sure it hits the right buttons for those who gravitate toward this kind of thing - but my buttons remain unpressed. Not offensive, not difficult - just not something I’d ever reach for again.

Someone likes the sound of his own keyboard. Pompous and drawn out.

An album that all the nerds at schools use to have wet dreams over. I was too busy with 2Tone and girls. Time to see if the nerds won the long game? tl;dr nerds never win. At the end of Oxygène 1 I was ready to bail. Wait. There's five more servings of this shit sandwich to come? It sounds more like the annoying soundtrack for an early 80's video game console. It's got a crap cover as well. UP YOURS, nerds.

I wouldn’t miss it if there was no electronic music.

Absolute pish

Ummm not a fan

Das ist gar nichts.

Wohl eher Oxygähn. Mag in elektronischer Musik zu seiner Zeit revolutionär gewesen sein, aber catcht mich wirklich überhaupt nicht

Very boring. I didn't understand the value. I wanted music, not cosmic sound of nothingness.

Len Houmous & Jean Michel Jarre actually launched a musical washing powder. It took away from the dull hum and the chuntering sounds of a washing machine. It was called Oxygene. But they fell out when Jarre wanted this boring constant hum but Len wanted something a little more ‘fruity’. Anyway, Len signed with Daz and we all know what happened to Jarre on his own! 1.4 4/6 Oxygene Pt 4

Bit too space-y for my taste.

point7.

Not for me.

I would say don't waste your oxygen singing the tunes of this album, but it's entirely instrumental, and not in a good way. Favorite Track: "Oxygene(Part IV)". It was a little catchy.

Man, do i just have severe undiagnosed ADHD or something? i usually find "boring" to be a really lazy/thoughtless word to critique art, but i am at a loss for any other word. i was intrigued when this popped up because i enjoy aphex twin, brian eno, and other mainstream contemporaries. but even with those artists, i am unable to retain interest in long, droning tracks, and this record is not an exception to that preference. if i were a computer science dude working on a really intense coding project, i might like to have this on; i can see it being inspiring/stimulating in that context. but unfortunately my job is incredibly boring and requires very little brainpower from me, so repetitive music only serves to exhaust me. further, as somebody who consumes new movies as eagerly as i consume new music, there is another interesting lens through which i can appreciate this record: La Planète Sauvage, a french animated sci-fi film about a race of blue aliens enslaving human beings, was released only three years before Oxygène. much to be dredged up there about late 20th century french society, reckoning with colonialism, burgeoning forms of technology... i like pt. 3(the shortest track, go figure) but not enough to keep me coming back to it. on a more petty note: the fact that all the tracks have the same name pisses me off.

All this album did was make me want to squirt canned whip cream into my mouth and take a nap

Not my cup of tea. Reminds me of the time, back in 1978, when I was abducted by aliens outside of Roswell. Bad deal. Trauma resurfacing!

Just noise

One look at the tracklist told me this was going to be shit and I wasn't wrong

When i listened to this i felt like I was in a 70s vidio game. Not good.

1. Boring 2. Synthesized garbage.

now cmon now .. this is just fancy hold music

Nope. Boring.

It's just sound that sounds really repetitive. It's probably just a me problem because I'm not used to listening to stuff like this.

No sir, this was not my cup of tea. It sounds like the soundtrack of a fever dream version of a clockwork orange.

Noise

Old school elektronisk, ambient, lige lovlig spacy

may have been worthy of merit as film score for a sci fi movie set on a distant ocean world but as an album? no

Muzak

Sounds like every rubbish sc-fi soundtrack from the 80s

Day478 - i was hoping oxygene part 7 would be the ska version but alas

💩

I almost fell asleep so I gave up.

I have zero interest in this kind of music.

Basically Muzak.

Thin and cringy

Not my type of music at all. In summary I found this album to be background noise and absolute rubbish!! Favourite song: Oxygene part 4. I have heard this somewhere before and can’t quite place it. Least favourite: Every song on the album called oxygene! Album artwork: Cool cover but that’s about as good as it gets.

Just not for me.

Meh

Irgendwie cooler ambient kram Aber sau lame??? Cooles cover though

at least it was only 40 minutes long...

Not my thing. BUT … I did find it useful as ambient noise while I was trying to finish a painting. I tried to pick a favorite out of the six songs that sounded exactly alike. Failed.

This was a hard decision between a 1 and 2. Was it as unenjoyable as other 1 stars? probably not. Would I ever listen to it again... probably not. Just an background album with nothing really happening.

This is totally not fair, but the overall effect of the way this sounds and the way JMJ presented himself is next level corny, haha. But for real, I love that JMJ likes synths and I'm glad he found a large audience.

If that album is the only source of oxygen, then I'll rather suffocate.

Alrighty then

If this music was playing in a store I would immediately turn around and leave

Random noises

I hate electronic music

Too weird for me. It sounds like it would be the backing track for an animated film that I didn't understand.

Resident sleeper. If i wanted to float in space i’d pay Bezos 20M to take a ship to space as opposed to listening to this dog piss and pretending i’m floating in space

Pass. It wasn’t for me

I’m sorry, I started to and I just couldn’t make myself listen to it.

What in the world?

Light relaxing background music. Daughter called it Minecraft music. How does something like this become an album you need to listen to before you die?

Utter nonsense. See also Tubular Bells.

Not even gonna bother

ambient slop

TIHI! 1/5

I hated every moment of this that I could stomach. Obvious DNF.

This is terrible!

This sounds like music from an amusement park ride for a space adventure. I don’t see why this should be on the list. I think that I could have played this on the keyboard.

It sounded celestial which is cool until you listen to the rest of the album and say this isn’t cool it does not vary a lot.

No-once again why was this on list? Sounds like it belongs on a bad sci-fi movie soundrack.

The song titled "Oxygene" sucked. Oh wait, all the songs are titled "Oxygene".

The kind of album that makes you want to quit doing this listening quest. Genuinely pissed that I sat through this. I get it, it's just soooooo creative and genius that it HAD to be added to this list, right? C'mon.

Literally just videogame music. Was probably very cool in the 70s.

brutal

Boring

weird. not good. trippy

Sleepy video game music

No

Music fans *really* need to stop using the word "experimental" as a synonym for "acceptable". Labelling something as "experimental" seems to be a shield against scathing blowback. The definition of an experiment is "to demonstrate a known truth, to examine the validity of a hypothesis, or to determine the efficacy of something previously untried". Experiments are carried out in private under controlled lab conditions or amongst a select focus group. The results are only made available to the public after careful consideration & if the findings are worthwhile. Why should music fans waste their precious time & hard-earned money on these narcissistic experiments? Do they think we're fucking suckers with nothing better to do? It's insulting. "Experimental" = not ready for widespread release; a work-in-progress; still shit. Also, fuck Jean-Michel Jarre for wasting such awesome album art on this dogshit album of cheap sci-fi sound effects. Cunt. 👎👎

I don’t hate it. It would be good if I was high or on psychedelics. But I’m not. I’m just bored listening to space music. Not bad space music. Just nothing I’d listen to regularly.

Hard miss. DNF.

Well this was only gonna end up with one result. And it's not a good one. I have only every heard oxygen part 4 before on the radio and I'm not a fan. Also the bloke is French, and he is doing electronic music. And no singing. Also why not try some different track names out? Lucky for this album there isn't minus stars. Only positive is that it is a relatively short album . If this were the last oxygen left on earth then I would rather take my chances breathing in carbon monoxide

BASTA QUESTE ROTTURE DI MINCHIA

This album is terrible, only worse.

Buncha Bullshit

This has got to be one of the worst albums I have listened to

gave me a headache

terrible

??????????

Wish I could give it a zero

Ein gelungenes Experiment - nichts für mich.

A New Age Space Oddity

Not for me

2/100 Based on the following scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 I'm trying to like electronic music. I really am. Today, styles descended from this are massively popular. Maybe it means that along the way, this stopped sucking. Either that, or it means that the masses like things that suck. But yeah, this is sort of like the soundtrack to being given an anal probe by aliens and it leaves one wondering which was more unpleasant; the probe, or the music. At least, the probe presumably served some sort of purpose.

This is the perfect album to realize my banal existence during my morning commute. Mainly because the music is so lackluster I was stuck with my thoughts. Another album that doesn’t deserve to be on this list. 1.4/10

1/5 - The rejected (rightfully so) Star Wars album. I'm more impressed that people in 1976 had an idea what 80s lasers sounded like. Less impressed they used them 1000 times in each song. I don't even think this would be cool on acid.

Not typically my thing and this is no exception. Nice ambience I suppose

Taustamusiikkia - kuinka huomaavaista!

Again. Not for me. Very clever, loved the stuff he did with Sparks. This is fine, just not for me.

No.

Oxy Gene? That's the guy who's always rooting through my garbage and stealing the copper out of buildings. Seriously though, I'd prefer the sound of a junkie knocking over trash cans to this.

Might have been good back then

Electronic music. Sounds like a film score. Not really music I would casually listen to in any setting or time.

On today’s edition of 1001 albums Ryan forced me to listen to while I slowly die inside

Oh great, another electronica album, this time from France. As suspected, Jean-Michel Jarre's music sounds like what aliens have sex to with its space age beeps and zaps. Set phasers to lame for this album. No one should be subjected to 40 minutes of shitty theremin music. The whole record is one long song really, which Jarre split into 6 parts, however since it all runs together so seamlessly, it's hard to tell which track you're listening to. Luckily, I hated the whole album equally. Apparently this dude has Guinness World Records for the highest attendance to some of his concerts, with the largest number of attendees being 3.5 million in Moscow. I don't understand how there are that many people who would willingly subject themselves to this music, but to each their own I suppose. The one impressive thing about this album is that it came out in 1976, way ahead of its time, so I will give Jean-Michel props for that, but my God I hate electronica. I try to keep an open mind to it, but it's just not my thing I guess. Oxygene Part 5 & 6 gave the impression that we were listening to a big ass robot moving around in the wilderness, surrounded by birds and shit, which was the only interesting part of the album, but did the robot have to shuffle around for 15 minutes? I think not. Also, why is Jarre so obsessed with wind noises? Not enough drugs for me to enjoy this. Favourite song: Oxygene, Part 4 I guess, because it is one of the shorter tracks on the album. Least favourite songs: The rest of the album. 1/5, thank God that's over

Hier begin ik niet aan.

Orgel-Joke eat your heart out!

Wij hadden vroeger een keyboard thuis. Daar zaten deuntjes op waarmee je mee kon spelen. Dat was dit.

zzzzzzzzzz

If you like purely instrumental noise you’re lying to yourself. If I get one more instrumental album then I will give up on this list

Highlights: - Artwork: 5 / 10 Rating: 1,5 / 10

1/5 not at all

was this music?

It could have been interesting instrumental music. But there was not enough that changed. Not a fan.

star trek? stranger things soundtrack? sheldon cooper auf dem theremin? wie auch immer, nix für mich einfach so zum hören

Boah keine Ahnung. Irgendwie hab ich auf so sphärische Zeugs so gar keinen Bock ghabt...

Didn't like it.

all the same ?

Justjoo, ei pysty antaa yhtä enempää. Olkoot vaikka kuinka edistyksellinen levy, mut ei pysty arvostaa tällasella listalla

Nope. Not for me. I can see how this is influential on lots of artists and genres, but I personally need a little more structure and prefer lyrics.

Boring

Not for me

Omg oof

j'ai juste écouté celle qui avait 20 M d'écoutes sur Spotify.. j'ai même pas envie d'écouter les autres. Pas pour moi

Super tedious advert level wanky nonsense.

Had a hard time getting into this. Kind of felt like a never ending introduction. I enjoy synths as much as the next person but. Wasn't quite clicking for me. Favorite track: Oxygen pt 4

I'm not even going to pretend that this album was any good. Pure pretentious muck, would not waste another 40 minutes of my life listening to it that's for sure. Electronic music that you would probably need to be on acid to appreciate.

Can I give something zero stars? No, I'm just kidding, it wasn't that bad. It felt like Ross made an entire album with his soundscapes. Not my style, but to each his own.

Don’t like techno

meh... nothing good for me

Irritating

good trance
