Notes

Please note: This is the entry for the original recording of 'Oxygene', do not add the "New Master Recording" here.

Oxygène is the third studio album by Jean-Michel Jarre.
First released in France in December 1976, on the Les Disques Motors record label licensed to Polydor, with an international release following in the middle of 1977. The album reached number one on the French charts, number two on the UK charts and number 78 in the US charts.

Jarre recorded the album in a makeshift home recording studio using a variety of analog synthesizers, one digital synthesizer as well as other electronic instruments and effects. It became a bestseller and was Jarre's first album to achieve mainstream success.

Oxygen the element was named by Antoine Lavoisier in 1777, two hundred years prior to the release of the album.
