 Interesting choice of fart noise whilst the CGI person trumps on the other one at 1:02

His cheesy Second Life Dad-VR that he thinks is so cutting edge, needs to go.

^ oxymoron ?

More Oxy - sedative opiates for the electronic music cognoscenti.

My dad will love this.

Dude looks pretty great for 74. A diet of instrumental synthpop and OTT light shows must work wonders. 

Will wait for proper clips before making any judgments, but between this and Amazonia it's nice to know he's working outside of his comfort zone again after quite a few years of chart chasing and navel gazing.

I thought Amazonia was one of the best albums he has done in many years but this one is an easy pass.

Sounds dreadful, if I'm to be honest.

Jean-Michel Jarre, in his 70s, making dark techno in homage to Pierre Henry. These truly are strange times.

It's alright. Not anything I'd buy.

I really like this album! Sounds massive. It’s true it can still be a bit four to the floor, a bit corny, but not nearly as much as some of his recent stuff, which was too brickwalled brash EDM for me. This is much better.
