Oxygène (50th Anniversary)

One of the most influential electronic albums ever made, performed as a living, breathing orchestral experience. Released in 1976, Jean-Michel Jarre’s Oxygène transformed synthesizers from cold machines into something intimate, atmospheric and deeply human, laying the foundations for generations of electronic and cinematic music that followed. Publicly revered by artists including Hans Zimmer , Air and Moby , its sense of wonder still feels unmatched nearly fifty years later. Reworking the album through strings, winds, electronics and live improvisation, The London Ambient Orchestra opens Oxygène into something rawer, slower and deeply atmospheric.
