Jean-Michel Jarre-Oxygene 7-13 (1997)

When a musician or group faces a second part or a sequel to a masterpiece, there are two possibilities, the first that it is a continuous success or the second that it is a failure, it is a complete disaster and ends up being viciously beaten.
Examples we have many, from Meat Loaf with his "Out of Hell II" to "Tubular Bells II" by Mike Oldfield to give just two examples that came out well.
In 1997 Jean Michel Jarre thought of continuing that fabulous album that he had released in 1976 "Oxygene", but giving it a more modern approach with the most technologically advanced sounds of the moment.
"Oxygene 7-13" was the title that was given to this sequel and was the product of the logical conological movements that followed the original, which consisted of six.
Jarre in this new installment of "Oxygene" sacrificed much of the original romantic component, changing it for a greater drama and a more calibrated dynamic load, achieving an elegant work that pleases and innovates without surpassing his original album.
