Guest greenbank Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 my usernames always really suck said: Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene counts as classical music. Prove me wrong. arguments for: there's a pretty decent history of synths in classical from mixtures of 'conventional' instruments and synths (like stuff using the ondes martenot) to full synth covers of classical stuff - 'switched on bach' and a bazillion similar records throughout recent history, up to and beyond william orbits 'pieces in a modern style'. those are covers/interpretations of course but they bridge the gap nicely up to mr jarre doing oxygene so i reckon that helps make it classical. depends how you define classical but it's definitely complex, melodic and harmonically tonal (nae white noise drum shenanigans really). it's also much more in line with the pop side of classical that you usually hear, unlike things like the clockwork orange soundtrack which is more 'difficult' (but i'd call it classical too really, or just awesome, hell i dunno!). against: it can't be played live without electricity. it wasn't made over 80 yrs ago by someone who is dead. synths aren't 'real' instruments.

Guest David R James Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Its a great album, its some of the first music i heard when i was small, and loved it ever since. I dont care what u guys say about it. Messian knows his shit also, i love the way eveyone thinks classical music is classical music. The classical period was 1750-1820, followed by the romantic period and then 20th century there after.

Guest Glass Plate Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 come on, there's no notation for those jamming solo's. Most of the shit at best was notated in midi. Not composed in the classical sense. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42722-jean-michel-jarres-oxygene/#findComment-954422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundwave Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) the biggest selling electronic album of all time the pivotal crossover album from experimental electronic to popular music (fuck Kraftwerk) an analogue masterpiece which even the man himself can't replicate 100% (although technically speaking its more an organ album than a synth album) a great listen all the way though especially with headphones after a doobie although I still have to perservere with Oxygene 4 (the token single track) structurally its more disco than classical although JMJ did do some neo classical stuff later in the 80's Edited February 18, 2009 by soundwave Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42722-jean-michel-jarres-oxygene/#findComment-955427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
