Biography

Ambient and electronic pioneer Jean Michel Jarre, the son of film score writer Maurice Jarre was born in France in 1948. He became world famous for Oxygene and its follow up Equinoxe.

Jarre spent his formative years experimenting with music and released his debut in 1973, but it was his third album that made his mark. The Oxygene album, released in 1977, saw Jarre's classical approach to the… Read more in Amazon's Jean Michel Jarre Store

About the Artist

Jean Michel Jarre, the son of famed film composer Maurice Jarre, was born in France in 1948 and began studying piano at age five. In 1977, after abandoning his earlier forays into classical, jazz and rock music, he achieved astounding success with his breakthrough album, "Oxygene," a full scale opus that climbed to #2 on the UK charts. The orchestrated melodicism of this hit and its follow-up "Equinoxe," which also topped the charts, proved that he had found his voice at last. Jarre became the first certified "hitmaker" for electronic music, and his remarkable appeal shows no sign of diminishing.

With over 25 albums and numerous compilations (including the multi-platinum "Pure Moods"), EPs, singles and videos, Jarre is firmly ensconced as the European electronic music community’s ambassador, and has earned world-renown as a groundbreaking synthesizer player and composer. A superstar despite his aversion to touring, Jarre has repeatedly set world records for attendance at his spectacular live concerts. Since first coming in to prominence in the mid-70s, the notably enigmatic and media-shy artist has broken two Guinness World Book records for audience counts at live performances, and has consistently attracted crowds in excess of a million for rare appearances. In 1979, Jarre staged his first outdoor concert at Place de la Concorde in Paris, and broke a Guinness World Book record while dazzling an estimated one million spectators. In 1986, he helped NASA celebrate their 25th anniversary in Houston, attracting over one million spectators for a live performance broadcast! on worldwide television. And, in Paris, more than two-and-a-half million people jammed into his concert to honor Bastille Day following the release of his 1990 CD, "Waiting For Cousteau." (He topped his own Guinness World Book Record with that one!) In 2002, Jarre made a sensational return with the critically acclaimed "Sessions 2000."



Product Description

In the early 70’s, a young composer named Jean Michel Jarre embarked on a recording career with an album of instrumental synthesizer music, Deserted Palace. After the album failed commercially, Jarre’s next move was to follow in the footsteps of his father, famed film composer Maurice Jarre, and wild success of Wendy Carlos’ soundtrack to ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ with a soundtrack project of his own. The resulting album, ‘Les Granges Brulees’ was an artistic achievement on par with ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ although the film and soundtrack did not make it very far out of its native France. Still, buried under all of Jarre’s success, was this little vinyl album from France – a relic of early analog-synth based electronica. New sounds for the world – much different from Carlos’s ‘Switched-On’ sound. Jarre’s music had roots in classical composition, but with a percussive, rhythmic noise element that would resurface years later in Trance and Techno music. "Les Granges Brulees" was never released outside of France, and therefore missed the periodical reissues on cassette, 8-Track, and CD that most albums are afforded. The original vinyl is one of the most collectible records in history – with mint copies still fetching over $500 in America. Dreyfus is thrilled to mark the 30th anniversary of this milestone recording with its first worldwide CD release.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a difficult review to write..., March 18, 2004
Since getting my hands on the Equinox Album as a child in the 70's I've been hooked on Jean Michel Jarre and pretty much have everything he's ever recorded before and after Oxygene. That's why I was extremely surprised to hear that the minimal sounding Les Grange Brulees album being re-released. The original album is rarer than hen's teeth and worth a lot of money to Jarre collectors. But after hearing the album, you have to ask yourself why. The painful truth is that there isn't a lot to shout about Jarre's work prior to Oxygene. This album is a stepping stone to the Jarre we know and love. There are some themes in there that are reused in later works and as such, I can see this album only being found interesting by absolute die-hard Jarre fans or possibly academics interested in early electronic music. It's no Oxygene or Equinox.

Don't expect anything from this album, and you won't be dissapointed...
there is nothing to remember from this one. The keyboard sounds like a Casio that you can buy in a Wal-Mart. For die hard fans only.

3.0 out of 5 stars very early Jarre, February 24, 2004
By Aulis Vierhovssen "Aulismedia" (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
Strongly recommended for all Jarre fans and / or early synth music lovers. Otherwise you will be deeply disappointed.

Tracks on this album are sometimes comic, sometimes naive, nothing to be compared with next album Oxygene, it's completely different music. Though it shows the development of Jarre's musical ideas.
