Oxygene became an enormous success in Australia I think due in part to Oxygene Part II attaching itself to the closing sequences of the movie Gallipoli and really made the music synomynous with this movie. Its haunting melody made the film even more heart wrenching to watch the final minutes of the movie. Mention the movie and most people will immediately think of this particular tune. A true classic.

Oxygene is JM's first success album. In , we heard it in many tv ment, and as the tv news generic.
This album is the result of the first JM's experimentations with synth. His first attempt was Deserted Palace (1972), in which he only used two synth : one Farfisa organ and one EMS VCS3. The Track "Windswept Canyon" sounds like an outline of Oxygene's style.
The use of stereo and panoramic effects in Oxygene has revolutioned electronic music, and it has imposed a very different style for the experimental musicians of the 70's.
The sound of the Eminent organ through the phasing Small Stone, effects on the VCS3 and AKS, the deep basses of the ARP 2600, hybrid sounds of the RMI, the band echoes of the Revox... This is the definite proof of the evocation potential of the synths. And JM uses their sound as a poetic instrument, evoquing reality through a sensual and human filter.
Definitely a must have for electronic music lovers !
