He is Maurice Jarre's son, the man who composed such brilliant film soundtracks as Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Witness, the Longest Day, etc etc... such a talented musician. I saw him in concert at La Défense, near Paris in the 80s. Unforgettable!

Who's listening in 2024?

I heard this song in school assembly about 30 years ago. Something about it just captivated me. I couldn't get the song out my head, but could never find it to hear it again. After all this time, I was starting to think it didn't exist and was just a figment of my imagination or some kind of Mandela affect. Today it just randomly appeared in my recommended playlist and I almost cried. Takes me back to sitting on that cold wooden floor in assembly hearing it as a child. I remembered teachers who I had long forgotten. Their names and even what they were wearing. Isn't it amazing how a song can unlock memories like that.

Music is a global language, maybe even a universal language. Jean Michel Jarre’s music certainly is that way, and also timeless, beautiful ❤

Even after more than 40 years it still sounds fresh, original and futuristic! A masterpiece!

When you see comments posted in so many languages you know you are listening to a piece of music that is still as good today as it was back in the past. Sets the standard for electronic music along with Tangerine Dream.

This song MUST be performed on the opening ceremony of Paris 2024!

Mr Jean Michel Jarre, le pionnier de la musique électronique en France ❤❤❤❤

Тем кому нравиться эта музыка ,опередил время в веках.

What memories. 45 years ago, walking on the beach, listening to it on a portable cassette player at sunset. Great tune.

Published in 1976 but still AMAZING! One of those things that never die...

I remember turning on the tv one evening, just to see the presenter introduce a live feed from the concert at La Defense. I was captivated and just sat there and watched the concert, gorging myself on the experience. And from that day on, i was sold. I hope someday someone will consider doing a repeat of that performance. I would very much like to experience that live.

Jean Michel Jarre was the Mozart of his time !

Timeless masterpiece

كل ما اسمع هذه الموسيقى اتذكر. والدي الله يرحمو مان يعملها في سيارته ونحنا مسافرين لتاغيت ولاية بشار الله يرحمك يا والدي الغالي ويمتعم في الجنة كما متعتنا في الدنيا

Piękne , przypomina młodość , dziś nie ma takiej muzyki , pozdrawiam z PL

Beyond words, brings tears, I'm 52....closer to the end than the beginning, love this song. And, you start thinking about what songs you would like played when you are laid to rest. This is one of them.

Brings back memories of walking in to the arcade and hearing this play out from the claw machine. Truely a masterpiece.

Feb 2024 and still it is great music.

This is a classic piece of history 👌

This is one of the first epic tunes I remember hearing when I was really young. It had that creepy, errie Sci Fi sound to it and was just so ahead of its time. And still is

Hasn't aged 1 day. Timeless classic.

Some of the purest and iconic synth sounds ever created. Still amazing&beautiful.🎶❤️

Now in Bratislava, Slovakia 🇸🇰 Jean-Michel Jarre 🎶🎶🎶 12. May 2024 ❤

One of the most recognisable tunes ever created. You may not of bought his music or even know, who Jean Michel Jarre is but you remember, the music...

Sencillamente, maravilloso!!! No ha perdido un ápice de su efecto novedoso y distinto!!! Y si recordamos que la época en la que este músico compuso esta obra no tenía los adelantos tecnológicos que hoy en día son tan comunes, creo que su valor artístico y técnico es superlativo!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm 21. I consider this far better than most of what we have nowadays Oxygene IV is an all-time classic

Jean Michel Jarre best music ever. Futuristic, transcendental, unreal !

I was 16 years old in 1983 when I fell in love with his music. Epic times 😊

I grew up with Jarre, Vangelis,…. Wonderful time, wonderful moments….The synthesizer period in my life….Wish I could turn the clock back…… The days of past, present and future….

시대를 앞서간 음악! 이 음악을 듣는 세계 모든 사람들이 행복하게 즐기길!!!

A pioneer, a trail blazer and a legend. When my late father introduced me to JMJ when I was like 13 i was blown away. I listen now to honor my dads memory 34 years later

This man still owes me money,I was security for the docklands concert in 88 and never got paid ,was worth it for the music and front row view.

This is still a timeless classic.. I first bought this on vinyl in the early 1980s.. and it's still one of my all-time favorite albums

This music inspired my love of science and philosophy.Thank you JMJ

Positively ME!!!! have done ALL my life, thanks to my Father's inspiration ❤.... 46yrs n still LOVE THIS WITH ALL MY HEART & SOUL!!!..... I've even played it to my art class to see the result's... Awesomeness!!!!

I remember hearing this in my dad's car when I was 5. It was the first song I can truly remember from that time. It blew me away and sounded like something from another planet at the time. Over 45 years and many synth songs through the decades later I truly believe this is the pioneer of all that music. It still sounds so fresh today.

45 years old song and still 🔥🔥🔥 Merci Jean-Michel 🙏

For residents of the former Soviet Union, this music embodies progress, science, technology, space exploration and the achievements of socialism. This music makes us nostalgic for what didn't happen...

I am still listening in 2064. Classic.

There is no one who can replace you Jean-Michel Jarre

Lost for words , this guy is a genius, have every piece of his work in my collection.

Kraftwork lives on with JMJ great music

Flying a heli around Liberty City those where good times back then.

The genius of a musician is an absolute trailblazer. This sounds just as modern today as it did all those decades ago. Also I was lucky enough to see him perform live too 🙌🙌❤❤

In three thousand years when they hear this song they'll say, "this new music is something else huh?"

*This* *song* *is* *a* *actually* *timeless* *masterpiece* *.*

This is what music should start sounding like during the 2020s and beyond.

Escuché esta canción cuando tenía 7 años en 1977,nunca pude buscarla porque no sabía el nombre ni quien la hizo,hoy 43 años después la encuentro casualmente y me trae recuerdos de mi niñez.

Worked unsocial hours in the early 1980 's. Came home at 2 am to catch Concerts in China. Totally blown away. Bought the LP, no download in those days. Still have that LP but no apparatus to play it on. Good old days, gone downhill from there on.

You know this is a good song when the comments are as recent as only a few days ago!

..It's hard to believe this is 40 years old

I heard the oxygen part 4 when I was a little girl at a party of a friend of mine whose father was excited about jean michel jarre. I remember he asked us if we had heard such great music again. He was telling us that he felt as if he were seeing angels dancing in the sky. It was the first time I heard this incredible kind of music and since then I've been a fan of electronic music. Jean michel jarre is the teacher !

موسيقى رائعة و لا تتأثر بالزمن، أتذكر هذه الموسيقى عندما كنا عائلة مجتمعة… ذكريات الطفولة. تحياتي من الجزائر 🇩🇿

J’écoutais ça en 1987 , ma jeunesse, mes plus belles années .Tout ça c’est du passé.

Son esas canciones a las que siempre voy agradecer a mi padre por haberlas escuchado y hoy quedan para mi. Aunque hoy no esté aquí presente, juntos las seguimos escuchando♥️

Very proud to say this is the first record I ever bought as an 8 year old.It made me feel like I was eternal,still does.

Master of the Soundmachine...never get old❤❤❤

Remember this when I was a kid still listening now jmj stands the test of time and beyond thank you

Loved this in 1977 and I still love it now. It's wonderful.

Timeless masterpiece , can't imagine how many times parts of this tune was used around the world in tv and radio

Timeless... it will still be known still in 100 years... And even if someone doesn't know JMJ or the track by name, they have it heard anywhere in their life.

This music was way before it's time, it's timeless. You are a genius of your era sir.

I may be a youngen, but I remember hearing this in 1999 on a claw machine in Matlock Bath, UK down by the arcades.. I remember being so fascinated by the sound and imagined ufos and the mysteries away from our world! What is crazy to me is that exact same claw machine is still there to this day! I went the other month with my Fiancé and I sorta had a lump in my throat when I played it.. as I played as a kid! love it ❤

71 years Master Jarre ! A great artist

Jean-Michel Jarre is a genius. Any man who can control a large Moog system gets my vote.

I had this album in 1976 - first time I'm hearing this tune again in over 40 years... used to play it all the time... wow! I forgot all about it and was watching something about the largest audiences of all times - saw Jean Michel Jarre's name at 3.5M in Moscow OMG and suddenly remembered this album.... wow, life....

Masterpiece.

A very unique sound, very advanced for his time a true pioneer in trance, electronic, house music

Jean-Michel brought us into the future-now, way back in the 1970’’s musical landscape. A true visionary. Bon chance, Jean, JaneR

this peace off music is a classic and i love this from jean michel jarre and this was played before the programme weathers way came on well done for this lovely peace off music mr jarre

Still my musical youth. Had an incredible impact on our mind, until today.

Simply the best of all JMJ creations. Thats it. Oxygene 4.

This will never get old

*This* *song* *never* *gets* *old* *I* *love* *it* *so* *much* *.*

It’s incredible that this was made over 40 years ago.

Hearing this song in GTA IV is where I realized I had a thing for ambient music and have been looking for more of it ever since!

This brings back some memories of the 80's driving about, listening to some pretty awesome music.

Went to see Jean Michel jarre in the London dockland in 88 i was only 17yo Absolutely amazing especially with all the lazers..

Pasan las décadas y aún me hace viajar al espacio , cierro mis ojos y comienza el viaje

For some reason, I could not get this song out of my head when having hours and hours of contractions when giving birth to my son! 😂 Lying in the bath etc, all the stuff they get you to do, this was in my head. I like to listen to it now 7 years on ❤ xx

Timeless magic from an era unsurpassed with lots of sounds groups singers but some tunes stay in your memory bank 🎸❤️

Would we have Trance if not for this genius.....??think not ...❤

J'étais enfant la première fois que j'ai écouté cette musique qui transporte et après 40 ans c'est toujours un voyage.

Will never forget this song, since I was a kid and hear it first tim I onderstand what Jarre was tellint to the mankind...

70s and 80s music is future music!!

Die Musik geht unter die Haut!

Pure perfection in the form of a song. A classic!

From a time when life was not so strressful and " advanced ". Sure all era's have thier tribulations... but this JMJ era was a beautiful yet simpler time that I dearly miss.

This man lived 40 years ahead of his time

I finally found this song. I first heard it while playing on a claw machine at the arcade 🤣🤣

The Godfather of Synthesizer music lives on for its brilliance of music, Simply Timeless ❤

Gracias papá, recuerdo con mucha nostalgia cuando nos ponías un concierto de Jarre en BETA cuando éramos niños, era lleno de música “extraña” igual que el resto de sus músicos, te extraño tanto viejo ... 😢

After years of searching, finally got this piece at the beginning of 2023, what a joy! Used to hear it during my childhood, which was in the 1980s, an age of discos and electronics. It still sounds surreal, like from the distant future - or past.😇

I heard this first time in 1978 and then listened to it in early 80s and its always been one my mind appreciated and still does

When i was a kid i did buy this album the moment it came out and still have it. Reminds me of the series / TV show Space 1999. Many memories.

After 26 years of being a fan I finally have tickets to see him in concert! So excited!

"Cousin it's your cousin, let's listen Journey FM..."

Heard this on ABC radio in the car with a mate....got the album a week later as a birthday present. Still one of the best gifts ever...ALWAYS had tapes of his and Tull's music in the car.

For me it's Disco on another underground level. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
