Rendez-Vous - Jean Michel Jarre

I am reviewing the music album Rendez-Vous by Jean Michel Jarre which is a very good album. Jean was the first instrumental artist to use predominently an electronic synthesizer which at that time was a relatively new instrument. Of course other artists like OMD & Howard Jones would add to what he achieved. He had a huge pop hit with the single Oxygene 4 and the album Oxygene. Most of the tracks on his albums are named after the album followed by a number. His dad was Maurice Jarre the film music composer perhaps most famous for the soundtrack to A Passage To India which was oscar nominated. He is also married to the actress Charlotte Rampling. He also apparently released an album with a limited edition of one and it was sold for loads of money at an auction. Rendez-Vous 2 was used in an advert on tv in Britain quite a long time ago. The best track on the album is Rendez-Vous which didn't quite make into the UK Top 40 Singles Chart which is a shame. This album was released in the mid 80's. His best albums are probably Equinoxe & Chronologie. He has done a lot of high profile open air concerts in places like London's Docklands & Houston and many of these have been released as live albums as well as having interesting alternate versions of many of his more well known tracks. Finally I do really enjoy listening to this album.
