Everything that is oxygene or equinox sounds great, but for me that isn't comparable with Mike's work. They just create different moods for me, I dunno. As far as I know, Jean michel uses Synth's only, but in every imaginable form. 0n Oxygene 7-13 he used a device that looked like a box, when he pulled the handle out of it, some wire attatched to it created a note, longer line, higher/ lower tone. But all jarre's instruments are electronically based. Mike is much wider in variation of instruments, and that, together with the musicstyle, makes these guys different. Back to top

Well, there is a track on Jarre's Metamorphoses album that's called "Bells", and it uses tubular bells over a technoish track... sounds familiar? Well, it did certainly remind me of "Far Above The Clouds". And in such case, I stand on Jarre's side. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.
