BASTA QUESTE ROTTURE DI MINCHIA

This album is terrible, only worse.

Buncha Bullshit

This has got to be one of the worst albums I have listened to

gave me a headache

terrible

??????????

Wish I could give it a zero

Ein gelungenes Experiment - nichts für mich.

A New Age Space Oddity

Not for me

2/100 Based on the following scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 I'm trying to like electronic music. I really am. Today, styles descended from this are massively popular. Maybe it means that along the way, this stopped sucking. Either that, or it means that the masses like things that suck. But yeah, this is sort of like the soundtrack to being given an anal probe by aliens and it leaves one wondering which was more unpleasant; the probe, or the music. At least, the probe presumably served some sort of purpose.

This is the perfect album to realize my banal existence during my morning commute. Mainly because the music is so lackluster I was stuck with my thoughts. Another album that doesn’t deserve to be on this list. 1.4/10

1/5 - The rejected (rightfully so) Star Wars album. I'm more impressed that people in 1976 had an idea what 80s lasers sounded like. Less impressed they used them 1000 times in each song. I don't even think this would be cool on acid.

Not typically my thing and this is no exception. Nice ambience I suppose

Taustamusiikkia - kuinka huomaavaista!

Again. Not for me. Very clever, loved the stuff he did with Sparks. This is fine, just not for me.

Oxy Gene? That's the guy who's always rooting through my garbage and stealing the copper out of buildings. Seriously though, I'd prefer the sound of a junkie knocking over trash cans to this.

Might have been good back then

Electronic music. Sounds like a film score. Not really music I would casually listen to in any setting or time.

On today’s edition of 1001 albums Ryan forced me to listen to while I slowly die inside

Oh great, another electronica album, this time from France. As suspected, Jean-Michel Jarre's music sounds like what aliens have sex to with its space age beeps and zaps. Set phasers to lame for this album. No one should be subjected to 40 minutes of shitty theremin music. The whole record is one long song really, which Jarre split into 6 parts, however since it all runs together so seamlessly, it's hard to tell which track you're listening to. Luckily, I hated the whole album equally. Apparently this dude has Guinness World Records for the highest attendance to some of his concerts, with the largest number of attendees being 3.5 million in Moscow. I don't understand how there are that many people who would willingly subject themselves to this music, but to each their own I suppose. The one impressive thing about this album is that it came out in 1976, way ahead of its time, so I will give Jean-Michel props for that, but my God I hate electronica. I try to keep an open mind to it, but it's just not my thing I guess. Oxygene Part 5 & 6 gave the impression that we were listening to a big ass robot moving around in the wilderness, surrounded by birds and shit, which was the only interesting part of the album, but did the robot have to shuffle around for 15 minutes? I think not. Also, why is Jarre so obsessed with wind noises? Not enough drugs for me to enjoy this. Favourite song: Oxygene, Part 4 I guess, because it is one of the shorter tracks on the album. Least favourite songs: The rest of the album. 1/5, thank God that's over

Hier begin ik niet aan.

Orgel-Joke eat your heart out!

Wij hadden vroeger een keyboard thuis. Daar zaten deuntjes op waarmee je mee kon spelen. Dat was dit.

zzzzzzzzzz

If you like purely instrumental noise you’re lying to yourself. If I get one more instrumental album then I will give up on this list

Highlights: - Artwork: 5 / 10 Rating: 1,5 / 10

1/5 not at all

was this music?

It could have been interesting instrumental music. But there was not enough that changed. Not a fan.

star trek? stranger things soundtrack? sheldon cooper auf dem theremin? wie auch immer, nix für mich einfach so zum hören

Boah keine Ahnung. Irgendwie hab ich auf so sphärische Zeugs so gar keinen Bock ghabt...

Didn't like it.

all the same ?

Justjoo, ei pysty antaa yhtä enempää. Olkoot vaikka kuinka edistyksellinen levy, mut ei pysty arvostaa tällasella listalla

Nope. Not for me. I can see how this is influential on lots of artists and genres, but I personally need a little more structure and prefer lyrics.

Boring

Not for me

Omg oof

j'ai juste écouté celle qui avait 20 M d'écoutes sur Spotify.. j'ai même pas envie d'écouter les autres. Pas pour moi

Super tedious advert level wanky nonsense.

Had a hard time getting into this. Kind of felt like a never ending introduction. I enjoy synths as much as the next person but. Wasn't quite clicking for me. Favorite track: Oxygen pt 4

I'm not even going to pretend that this album was any good. Pure pretentious muck, would not waste another 40 minutes of my life listening to it that's for sure. Electronic music that you would probably need to be on acid to appreciate.

Can I give something zero stars? No, I'm just kidding, it wasn't that bad. It felt like Ross made an entire album with his soundscapes. Not my style, but to each his own.

Don’t like techno

meh... nothing good for me

Irritating

good trance
