Hi folks,

I Bought this Music mag off Ebay awhile back, Electronics and Music Maker from July 1982.
it has some Magnetic Fields 2 sheet music on a few pages, one of my favourite tracks

Just thought I'd share it with you all, hope the pics are clear enough, But not too large!

See what you make of them.

Now this is interesting and rare too. Thanks

rare in what sense? I have several official JMJ sheet music books. There are two volumes (a red and a blue one) with sheet music of many songs from the oxygene-calypso era. Then I have separate official sheet music books of Chronologie and Oxygene 7-13.

Rare in the sense that it contains a slightly different notation to all the song/score books available over the years - I have all 12 - and they are generally innacurate which leaves all us cover artists to painstakingly disect each piece by ear if you want an authentic sounding replica.

That said, Magnetic fields 2 is of the easiest to replicate but I doubt many fans had a Fairlight to create a good train sound as detailed in the score.

Makes me wish I had stuck with learning how to read notation as a kid. Sadly not everyone can be like Vangelis and come up with great stuff without being able to read notation! >_>

Regardless, nice find!
