GEOMETRY OF LOVE

"Geometry of Love" followed the footsteps of "Sessions 2000" with the same relaxing and chillout mood to it, just like longue music. Less interesting though, but not a bad album at all overall. Jarre still convinces that he can write good material for an album, though some of it is less successful musically than it could be, but if he could mix the material featured here with something from his mid-90's stuff, this one could be even better I think. The opener, "Pleasure Principle", is a very moody tune with a very atmospheric ambient middle section, but the most sad track here is definetly "Near Djaina", a very sad piano track and is one of Jarre's more moody stuff. The rest is more upbeat, notably the addictive title cuts. Still, the album has an uneven feeling to it, but it's not bad overall.

This work might not appeal to regular progressive rock fans at all, but Jarre freaks should give it a try. Like "Sessions", this one is a grower. 3.25/5
