| Jean-Michel Jarre - Revolutions Band: Jean-Michel Jarre Tracks: - Industrial Revolution, Overture - Industrial Revolution, Pt. 1 - Industrial Revolution, Pt. 2 - Industrial Revolution, Pt. 3 - London Kid - Revolutions - Tokyo Kid - Computer Weekend - September - The Emigrant Not one of his best... ...however, I understand why some fans rate this album. Personally speaking, I loved Oxygene, Equinoxe and Rendezvous....but never liked this one. This was indeed a Bold project for Jarre, and I understand the 'Industrial' theme, but after a dramatic opening with part 1 the whole album seems to get bogged down in musical durge, which as depressing as it is may appeal to the purist. There is no real break from the misery, until you reach London Kid which by no means a classic, brightens things up no end. After that though it's quickly downhill with a rather flat tribute to a lady called Dulcie September (who?) I was Present at Jean-Michel's 'Destination Docklands' London Concert in 1988 and it was the most wonderful, moving experience I have ever seen in my life - despite playing some 'Revolutions' tracks. Just goes to show how awesome this guy is. My personal advice is that you should avoid 'Revolutions' if you are a first time buyer, the same as 'Zoolook'. Both are an aquired taste. Revolutions history It's better every time I listen. It realy covers, IMO, the world revolutions. Listening to this album is learning history, musicaly. I recomend it to any Jarre fan, I think it will not be disapointed. One of his weaker releases I am reviewing the entire album of this name.... This disc seems very patched together; not a cohesive piece or album like Zoolook, Rendevous, or Chronologie. If you are new to JMJ, I suggest one of those first, or his earlier Oxegene. A lot of Revolutions sounds cheesy and forced. When I listen to this disc, which is rare, I pick out a few of the better tracks and skip the rest.
