Jean Michel Jarre* - Oxygène

Aside from Oxygène being widely regarded as one of the landmarks of modern synth/ambient; this cassette marked my first introduction to electronic music. As a child I frequently lay in bed listening on my headphones long after I should have been asleep. Full of beautiful synth washes and panning echoes; the six parts gel into one another to form a continuous piece of music that still affects me with the same childlike wonder of over 20 years ago, though with added nostalgia this time around. If I'm around in another 50 years I'll still be listening to this, simultaneously embarrassing the wife and entertaining the grandkids with some amusing grandad dance moves.
