JEAN MICHEL JARRE

"METAMORPHOSES"

Disques Dreyfus / Epic / Sony Music

In this album, Jarre has gone towards Atmospheric Pop. Throughout twelve themes, we hear melodies that range from the warm to the mysterious, wrapped in ethereal ambiences, somewhat relaxed percussive rhythms, and some sound effects that constitute small experimental brush-strokes. The vocals, as a general rule female and ethereal, are an important element in this CD. In some pieces they appear as part of the atmosphere, whereas in others they adopt a formal soloist role. The lyrics of the songs have been written by Jarre. The album will no doubt appeal to those listeners who feel attracted to such styles as that of Enigma, as well as Atmospheric Pop in general. As to my personal taste, the most impressive moments of this work are the last part of "Gloria, lonely boy", the beginning of "Millions of Stars", and the instrumental solos of "Tout est Bleu", among others.
