Jean-Michel Jarre: Equinoxe

Why? Nowadays electronic music is easily stereotypized as trance/techno crap, which is why many massassians believe the stereotypes and believe that JMJ's music would be trance or crap like that... But it is original electronica from late 70's, the time when the synthesizers were analog and most of the sounds were created by the synths themselves, not from the presets of the digital synths.

Anyways, music doesn't have to be astounding and complex, it doesn't need to be like that to sound good. Which is why Equinoxe is great. First it has melodies and tracks which are quite simple, but sound not bad at all. And then some a bit complex ones.

But there is something magical with the soft sounds of the 70's analog synthesizers, which is why this album is always my favourite album of all time.

Jarre sucks then? Well, I don't care. STFU.

Fastgamerr; trance > you and your puny JMJ

When bread becomes toast, it can never go back to being bread again.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Now, I'm so tempted to go with the cliché of saying that the best album is Nevermind. But that's no fun.

Toxicity? L.D. 50? Furious Angels? Throwing Copper? System of a Down? S&M? Garage, Inc.? The End of All Things to Come? Shadow Zone? Days of the New? There are so many good ones. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

Dunno about best album ever, but I've been listening to Cold's "Year of the Spider" album a lot these days.

I'd probably have to put down a movie soundtrack, like, you know, Star Wars or something as best album.

Their stuff is great. I went to go see a concer with my brother (Nubs on the forums), and it was one helluva concert. Lasers and stuff were amazing...

Anyways, my favorite albums are:

Britney Spears - in the zone
Backstreet boys - Black and Blue
N*sync - Dirty Pop
