Bluecliff
I loved this album when it came out on CD - it was one of the first all digital DDD recordings, and showcases the clean and dynamic digital sound very well. From a musical perspective, this album features Jarre venturing into new territory with his sampling of human voices and languages. Unfortunately, he never really expanded on this new direction and his subsequent albums went back to a more analog synth sound. Listening to this on LP, I am surprised how good it is and a bit more robust than the CD.

Quite the brilliant album. This is an old pressing, but sounds rather nice! Very clean lows, though some clipping is present here and there. Could just be the way the album is, though, as I seem to recall the same on the CD.
