Oxygène, released in 1976, is the third studio album by French electronica musician Jean-Michel Jarre. The album acted as his domestic and international commercial breakthrough at the time, having previously done small stints with smaller bands, ad spots, and soundtracks, all of which funded his building of an at-home studio, a fierce rarity at the time. The album as a whole was very influential in the development of Electronic Music.Jarre opted to release the album on Motors Records, a small jazz label affiliated with Polydor Records (who in turn distributed the album globally) that didn't have much concern about making its artists into international superstars. Jarre's contract was already owned by Motors' owner, Francis Dreyfus, who previously released Jarre's music through sister labels Sam Fox and Eden Roc. Contrary to expectations, the album was a massive commercial success, topping the French Albums chart and peaking at No. 2 in the United Kingdom, not to mention going platinum both there and in Canada and gold in France, Germany, and Poland. Following this success, Dreyfus would move Jarre's contract over to his larger, eponymous label, Dreyfus Records, keeping him there until the early 2000s.Oxygène was supported by two singles: "Oxygène (Part IV)" in the UK and "Oxygène (Part II)" in France. In 1997, a bit more than 20 years after the release of the original, a sequel album was released called Oxygène 7-13. In 2007, Jarre re-recorded the entire album from scratch as Oxygène: New Master Recording, commemorating the original's 30th anniversary (in the vein of Mike Oldfield's 2003 version of Tubular Bells); it would be his only album on EMI, owed to the label's initial dissolution in 2012. Another "sequel", Oxygène 3, came out on December 2nd, 2016, precisely 40 years after the original, increasing the number of "parts" to 20.Tracklist:Side A "Oxygène Part I" (7:40) "Oxygène Part II" (7:37) "Oxygène Part III" (3:24)Side B "Oxygène Part IV" (4:06) "Oxygène Part V" (10:26) "Oxygène Part VI" (6:24) Breathe deeply before reading these tropes...
