JEAN-MICHEL JARRE – OXYGENE TRILOGY
40 years after the huge international impact of OXYGENE, and
20 years from its second volume OXYGENE 7-13, Jean-Michel Jarre is fulfilling a
trilogy of albums with OXYGENE 3, containing seven newly composed and recorded
pieces, consistently titled parts 14-20. His inspiration for the newly added
parts on OXYGENE 3 was not to go back in time, but to add a sense of
"now" to his iconic piece of work. Plunging into the environment of
OXYGENE with its highly original dark, moody and at times quite upbeat musical
language, Jarre references some of the music from his entire body of work on
OXYGENE 3. It s a state-of-the-art recording, embracing both classic and modern
ways of music production.
ARMIK - ENAMOR
Armik has driven deep into his quest to create first rate
Nuevo Flamenco music with this ambitious 11 track recording titled ENAMOR. As
his 28th release on Bolero Records, it is an exceptional example of the art of
Armik both as a guitar virtuoso and as a composer. Throughout this recording he
retains a Spanish Guitar sensibility in his precise touch while his
compositions yield refined, romantic chords that leave you breathless and
obsessed with his award-winning arrangements. There is a rare delicacy to
Armik's illuminous Enamor. His sensitive rhythms, prolific strumming and
graceful, romantic tones allow you to revel in his artistry and remarkable
talents as a guitarist and composer. ENAMOR is a beautiful recording on which
Armik demonstrates a completely original sound that is sophisticated yet
creative. He makes each note count while playing with his delicate touch and
makes sure that you emerge with a greater appreciation of his musicality and
all that is heard in the fine art of Nuevo Flamenco.
