Love Leelene
Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum
Part 1 - 8.5/10 - I really like this, even though some people are "OMG IT'S EQUINOXE 1 RIPOFF LOLZORZ", it is somewhat and cheesy though... but still really awesome.
Part 2 - 10/10 - This is really awesome, somewhat crazy and majestic combination of church organs, cool bass and... uh, dance. Really one of my favorites. The Gdansk version was quite good, but not as awesome as this version for example.
Part 3 - 9/10 - This is quite an eerie song, listening to it certainly makes me wonder why some people put him in the same cast as some random "lolzorz synthesizer themes"-people. Reminds me of Final Fantasy VIII too.
Part 4 - 9/10 - Even though it reminds me a lot of Go West, it's still more awesome in my opinion. Quite cool, but it also sounds really 1993, perhaps even dated in some sense... but I don't care much about that.
Part 5 - 7/10 - Reminds me of some supermarkets and odd quiz-like things and my fathers career as an editor of that time. Not really one of my favorites.
Part 6 - 7.5/10 - The album version sounds somewhat slack... and it is too overplayed. Perhaps Jarre just likes it much, but I don't. However, the version from CPLT is gorgeous and I would rate it 9/10, but that's not the case now.
Part 7 - 7.5/10 - I think it's somewhat underrated (could work well if reworked to something longer ambientish stuff), but it still feels like a filler track.
Part 8 - 8.5/10 - People seem to hate this, but I like it. Not as much as Chronologie 2, but it certainly has whacky feeling, percussions and groovy atmosphere. But like Chronologie 4, it represents the year 1993 (r or early 1990's in general) so it's dated in that sense. The Michel Geiss remix is better though.
Overall - 8.4
I used to dislike this album, thinking that Jarre made totally awesome music up to 1993. Then I started to like it more (around 1995ish, after CPLT) and now it's one of my favorites. And I still can't understand how many people think it's not as good as Equinoxe or Oxygene.
