    Impressive work! But for me it is one of the few albums I don’t like that much, because of its to clean and thin sound. The D-50 was certainly a great synth and ‚Marshy sound‘ for the follow-up album Waiting for Cousteau in particular fascinated me for many years. Nevertheless, it played a big part in the too thin, clear sound of this Jarre era. I missed the analog thickness of the old albums.
