I keep on re-visiting this album so I thought it was worthy of a follow up post (the original being posted here).
Ive also been in love with the new Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) album, ‘Replica’, which is built partly using fragments of human speech and the sounds ‘inbetween the sounds’ in words and vocals. It seems to me that both Jarre and Lopatin have followed a similar trajectory in their synth-etic exterminations, at different points in time. ‘Replica’ is almost a modern take on the same idea.
