Customer reviews of Oxygene: Live In Your Living Room

Customer Rating: 
Summary: OXYGEN (REMADE) - GREAT CONCEPT
Comment:
I love pretty much of whatever Jean-Michelle releases, especially the late 70s - mid 80s material. Oxygen, of course, was just a classic piece of work released in any genre. It was fresh breath of air in the music world, just as sagnificant (if not more) than any classic album released before and after its release 30 years ago.
So as far as this particular version, I think it's great. Why? Because the nostalgia is present and sense of rebirth is very much "in your Face"!
(By the way, that's probably why the 3D glasses are included in the package)

Summary: A Great CD/DVD release
Comment: This is such a moving and beautiful work. Just the DVD alone is worth the purchase. The live DVD performance of Oxygene (with some new interludes added in) is awesome. As a musician I appreciate all the hard work and dedication that went into this. It's not flashy; there are no fireworks; no huge audience; just four top-notch musicians making amazing music. Thank you Jean Michel for creating this amazing work. I'm looking forward to enjoying this work over and over. Equinoxe would be amazing with a similar treatment. Get this DVD/CD combo and enjoy Jarre's mastery.

Summary: How much fun is this?
Comment: You've got to see this just for the fun if nothing else. Here's a boy and his many, many toys. The re-creation of Oxygene performed live on the DVD is a chance for you to see all the synthesizers you ever dreamed of having in the 1970s all in one room at one time. JMJ had 'em all--a theremin (not 70's, but cool just the same), every Moog there ever was, the ARP 2600 (or whichever it was), a Mellowtron (sp?) plus tons of sound modules that create white noise, etc.
JMJ recreates his Oxygene album live and IN 3-D??!! That's right. You get two sets of red on one side, blue on the other 3-D glasses to view that particular version if it is to your liking. Personally, I found the 3-D to be more distracting since I wanted to make out the equipment more so than seeing depth in four guys reaching to twist more knobs. Not to worry. You can watch it with or without the 3-D turned on. A second disc, a CD remastering of Oxygene comes as a sort of bonus disc. Nice touch.
The extras are fun--especially when JMJ takes you on a little tour of all his old toys. He's excited to share it all--so excited that he struggles to say in English exactly what he wants as he details "theese next eenstrument". It just adds to the charm of it all.
Very fun stuff. Totally worth buying if you're a JMJ fan at all. Even worth buying if you're just into old synths and modules. Also the 5.1 audio is some of the best use of 5.1 I've ever heard. His music plays well with it.

Summary: A seminal album for electronic music - just take a listen
Comment: Jean Michele Jarre produced some incredibly innovative and interesting synth music, back in the day when it required a rack of moog's and a lot of time, effort and skill. Not knocking today's DJ's and the modern electronica scene, which I like as well.
This is relaxing, invigorating and interesting all at the same time. (Well, actually different times, since it moves through the moods rather fluidly).
All I can say is try it... listen to these pieces in order a few times. They'll grow on you, as they did for me and nearly everyone who I have listen to JMJ.
Well, don't believe me, then maybe believe the fact that he set 4 separate Guinness book of world records for the largest concert. First in 1979 with 1 million people, then in 1987 with 1.5 M, again in 1990 with 2.5 M, and again in 1997 with 3.5 million.
Let's just say he's good, and this is the album that started it all.

Summary: Best Version of Oxgene - 30th Anniversary
Comment: Surprised no one has commented on this version yet.
In my opinion, this is the best version to get (of the Oxygene 30th Anniversary reincarnations). The DVD is Region 0, so you shouldn't really have a problem playing it regardless of where you live. Also, the prices offered for this product is very affordable, especially when you consider what's being given.
You are getting a good deal here. First off, you're getting a personal concert recording, in HD, alongside the album itself. This is more than just a concert. This is an education tool. Some of the oldest, rarest electronic instruments are being used simultaneously to recreate this great album. Also, Jarre gives a personal tour explaining the history of these instruments. To see them in use is a rare treat.
The best part about this product, in my view, is the DVD surround sound of the original recording of Oxygene. I've never heard Oxygene so crisp. It includes a fantastic 3D rendering of the album cover for visual effect.
If you are a Jarre or an Oxygene fan, you will most likely enjoy this product, considering location and affordability.

Famed for it's melodic lushed spaced-out Electronica, this is the album that captured keyboard maestro Jarre at his zenith. The lead single 'Oxygene IV' is one the most recognizable Electronic pieces in recent history. The son of famed French film composer Maurice Jarre, Jean-Michel Jarre is a synthesizer wizard, who had a number of instrumental hits, beginning in 1977 with "Oxygene", the success of which propelled him to pop-star status. In the ensuing decades, he has continued releasing albums and mounting enormous stage spectacles around the globe. EMI. 2007
