ZOOLOOK

One of the most irritating albums I owned before I decided to kick it out of my house. After excellent "Concerts in China", Jarre produced this album with distinguished guests like Laurie Anderson and Adrian Belew. Alas, he made no effort to compose at least decent and listenable melodies, only ridiculous samples, quasi-experiments and techno- machinery sounds that are so annoying I could not stand more than a few minutes. An unfortunate, typical product of the mid-1980s catastrophic synthetic computerized sound of rhythm machines, naive melodies and "effects" that evaporate quickly.... very poor effort and possibly interesting for JMJ completists only.
