“When I was growing up in the 1970s, I loved electronic music. Although popular with the likes of David Bowie, synthesisers were never truly accepted as a true musical instrument,” explained Radio DJ Steve Warner
“Jean Michel Jarre changed that with his albums, Oxygene, Equinoxe, Magnetic Fields, Zoolook and Rendez-vous.
“I discovered Jarre when he played his concert title Rendez-vous Houston in 86. The spectacle, the sound – I was hooked.
“Part 4 in Houston was awesome. The following Lyon concert introduced saxophone to the track and blew me away.
“He has been, quite rightly, hailed as the Godfather of Rave. All electronica that followed was thanks in no small part to his inventiveness and perseverance. To this day, it is my favourite version of the track, and the one I’d take to my desert island.”
