This morning's #workout #music is from Jean Michel Jarre doing a live performance of his landmark album Oxygene. Back in the late #70s and early #80s my friends and I were very into the #ElectronicMusic scene. I was a particular fan of #TangerineDream and #KlausSchulze and #Kraftwerk. Some of my friends tried to get me into Jarre and #Tomita but they never clicked for me. After reading an article recently on this album and its influence on #ambientTechno I thought I would give it another go. Meh. Still sits there flat and doesn't do anything for me for the most part. Some moments (particularly around 45 minutes in), but on the whole it just isn't my thing. YMMV

Do you like atmospheric synthy takes on classical music?
The host of awesome YouTube channel Curious Droid, Paul Shillito, has made an album, and it's great! He's apparently been fiddling about with old schooly synth music inspired by Isao Tomita for decades and now has enough tracks for an album. Pieces by Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Stravinsky, Sibelius etc.

@nielso Da waren meine Musiklehrer aber offener:

Ich erinnere mich daran, dass wir "Bilder einer Ausstellung" damals™ (frühe bis mittlere 1980er) sogar ausführlich im Musikunterricht behandelt haben, darunter auch die Version von EL&P. Da hier auch schon die Freunde der elektrischen Musik geantwortet haben, möchte ich noch die "Verarbeitung" von Isao Tomita ergänzen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVvQQMrEUzQ Ich fand es damals so geil, dass ich mir gleich die LP gekauft habe.
