Les Chants Magnétiques

by Jean-Michel Jarre

Overview

Magnetic Fields (aka Les Chants Magnetiques in French) was the third of Jean Michel Jarre's albums in a row to update Tangerine Dream's atmospheric sequencer trance for a synth pop and mainstream crossover audience. The side-long "Magnetic Fields, Pt. 1" is the capstone of the album, while "Pt. 2" through "Pt. 5" move through driving electronic pop and several passages more indebted to Jarre's past in the musique concrete scene. It's often just as melodic and inventive as Oxygene, though not as consistently creative. [Magnetic Fields/Les Chants Magnetiques was reissued in 2015 in a remastered LP edition pressed on 180-gram vinyl.] ~ John Bush
