Oxygene 1-6 (1976) made a distinct limitless impression. A classic 5 star project. Emotional stylized music structures floating in a realm where inner and outer space form an ambiguous dimentionless continuum. Question: Is it realistic trying to repeat such an accompishment? Answer: Oxygene 7-13! Dehydrated broken bones glued together in semi-familiar patterns. Insistently planar dinosauric compositions drudgingly plod along old trails. In an age of developing synthesizer technology Jean-Michel affectionatly stuck with his paleolithic analog keyboards. One might argue that you never know until you try. Well trying is one thing, but publishing it as part of your legacy is lunatic. This CD marks the nadir in an exponential decline since Oxygene 1-6.

Not disappointed. This album picks up right where the original Oxygene finished off. Have only just discovered this album after first hearing Oxygene 1-6 over 20 years ago.

Electronic tunes at their best. Listen to this and chill. What can I say. His music is so universal, the Iranian radio and tv, have been using his tunes since the revolution for all their sports programs, of course without giving him credit. The power of good music.

Although a bit cynical at first, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the second Oxygene album was as good as the first. I now have both albums on my MP3 player, playing as a continuous soundtrack from Oxygene 1 thru Oxygene 13. If you liked Oxygene 1-6, you'll like Oxygene 7-13.

I don't know what all these reviewers are bitching about. This is a fantastic album. Beautifully recorded with both analog and yes digitial sound sources (check the instrument list the Quasimidi Raven, Clavia Nordlead, KORG Prophecy, and Akai MPC3000 are definately all digital instruments).

One reviewer claims "analog" to be a "dead" sound source...then explain the number of digital instruments produced these days that emulate analogue subtractive syntheses: Alesis ION and MICRON, Korg's EA-1 and MS2000, Roland JP-8000, Kurzweil 2000 and 2600 series, Clavia's Nord series, Quasimidi's Polymorph and Raven, Red Sound's Dark Star and eleVAta ... and this list goes on and on. Analog is back baby.
