I only have Equinox in mp3 format, sounds atrocious. I cannot lie -- I was expecting it to sound much better. Probably have to get it in FLAC before I jump to any conclusions (still think that parts of that album contain interesting music, though).Originally Posted by AIKEF
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

Equinox on Disque Dreyfus CD is fine. I reckon it may have been subtly remixed over the very first CD issue as it sounds much better and more "alive" to my ears..

I have it on good authority (i.e. an earlier thread within these pages) that JMJ is 'a little twee' and Tangerine Dream are 'a shwubbewy'.

Oxygene and Equinoxe are significant albums for electronic music, in many was as much so as early Kraftwerk (this was the 70s remember).
Unfortunately pretty much everything after than was nothing special, or more importantly, new.
