3 stars Highly uneven effort from Jarre, and not nearly as good as his previous "Rendez-Vous" album released two years before it. Some of the material here works well, especially the "Industrial Revolution" suite that opens this album. This suite is among the best works of Jarre, though it's pretty unusual compared to his earlier epics, this one is a cold and mechanic and has a chilling feeling to it. A brilliant contribution to the album overall. The rest, however, is not that good at all! Tracks like "September" and "The Emigrant" does not appeal to me at all and I really dislike them, but "London Kid" and "Computer Weekend" are both very good, but the title track is the best one here next to the "Industial Revolution" suite. The album varies from different genres, mechanical to pop, arabian influenced to computer music. It's interesting to listen to, but sadly some of the material does not appeal to me at all. Nice try JMJ, but if the whole album could have been an extended version of the "Industrial" suite instead of the weaker tracks here, this one would recieive 4.5/5, maybe even a perfect 5 star.

3.5/5
