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

Amber is the second studio album by the British electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 November 1994 by Warp. It was the first Autechre album to be composed entirely of new material, as their debut album Incunabula was a compilation of older tracks.

..Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album a four-and-a-half star rating out of five, and compared the album to Incunabula, opining that "a couple of tracks could be removed with no problem, while tracks like "Montreal" and "Slip" continue the basic Incunabula formula without noticeable change." Raggett concluded that "things are clearly starting to gel a little more here than on previous releases; the great leap forward becomes all the more logical in retrospect." - Wikipedia

Well I have finally gotten around to setting up a mirlo account today 🥳

I've been meaning to do this for ages and finally found the time. If bandcamp isn't your thing, you can now get both of my EPs (Facets and Descends) on mirlo!

Happy listening!
