Album Review: Oxymore by Jean-Michel Jarre
Fairly Good, Based on 1 Critic
Based on rating 3
As a tribute to 'musique concrète' exponent Pierre Henry, the French synth wizard’s latest is a fitting piece of work, even if an unremittingly bleak one He may be in his mid-70s, but Jean-Michel Jarre remains powered by a restless desire to innovate. The title of his new album hints at that, but with Oxymore described in promotional material as 'entirely conceived and composed in multi-channel and binaural sound', he is cast in familiar ground he has occupied since the late 1970s. The album launches a new virtual reality universe known as 'Oxyville'.
