Much respect to Transversales Disques who have lovingly reissued (on vinyl and digital, no less!) the first album of Jean-Michel Jarre before he became a commercial success in France and then worldwide. From the label’s Bandcamp site:
“Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of Deserted Palace, a studio album written and performed by Jean-Michel Jarre in 1972 during his time at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales).
In 1971, producer Francis Dreyfus was commissioned to create soundscapes for public spaces such as airports and libraries.He entrusted the project to Jean-Michel, who had recently signed with his record company.
These fifteen tracks were crafted using just two synthesizers—the EMS VCS3 and the Farfisa organ—in an experimental and minimalistic style.”
