This one is different
Metamorphoses demonstrates a somewhat different approach to creating subtle electronic textures permeated by wittily designed and sequenced melodic grooves. JMJ does it again! This very interesting and versatile work was a long-awaited product that was largely influenced by transition that JMJ music underwent in the late 90s. You will not hear JMJ from late 80 and 90, instead, you will be submerged into an undemanding world of groovy chill out, ambient soundscapes, and memorable melodies. In my opinion, this album draws a line under the years of artistic development and constant exploration of electronic sound. Not too much modular synthesis here, usually heard on the previous works, but there is no artistic compromise either. The author fully explores the capabilities on new music production technologies and shows his true skill that sets him apart from many electronic musicians of the present day.


Jarre strikes again!
Does it sonically sound like Jarre? Oh yeah. Is this album different from his other stuff -- oh yeah. And that's the thing about it. Yeah it's got singing, and pop tunes, and what not, but if you listen, it has all the classic Jarre trademark sound that developed. No doubt whatsoever. It's different, but it's the same ingredients that makes him - well - him. Music for Supermarkets was bad. But that was on purpose. That was to reduce music to a commodity for the recording company. It was intentionally drab and dry to make a point. This album is not only vibrant, it's fun. It clearly demonstrates his artistic range and that his electronic style can be carried in other directions, not just Oxygene or Equinoxe's. How many times can an artist remake the same album. So he evolves, and it's pretty good.


Masterpiece !
just by accident I missed this one. I have been a fan for a long time. I bought it recently and I have to say it is just amazing. it is a must have JMJ album. absoulute pure electronic joy.
