mm i feel that way with a lot of 80s music and "neoprog" in particular, so i get where you're coming from



windswept canyon and a few of the other tracks are pretty neat though

I like 80's music in general and neo-prog



I'd say the difference with Jarre's debut is that in that case it is ALL about those kind of synths. There's literally nothing else in the album

i like 80s music in general too, i just think some bands and artists used very annoying synth sounds



van halen comes to mind first

I may get hate for this but I find this album incredibly cheesy and dated, in a bad way. i much prefer 80’s tangerine dream or stuff like e2-e4.

plus jarre is kind of a yuppie dickhead

it does sound kind of dated when compared to the big variety of modern electronic music but this was an essential piece for that to exist though



I still love the cold, spacey atmopshere it gives. And having a vibe like that that also manages to be catchy is pretty cool
