Bongman, you are the gear expert man! May I add, great detective work as usual!

This guy has things from ancient times! All the Fairlight and Oberheim etc. What on earth is the Seiko DS-250?? Never knew Seiko has keyboards!!! Must keep great midi timing!

who?

dun mention that, no expert in any;
just like to share my interest in electronics music.

Jean Michel Jarre is son of film composer Maurice Jarre
(Maurice Jarre score music for film such as 'Ghost')

His debut album Oxygen in 1976 sold millions and indeed
caused a stir in the synthesizer scene.

If you ever see his concert, you will notice
JM Jarre is not a great keyboard player and lots of the solo parts are played by his sessionist.
Probably his success is he being the composer.

his concerts are big events held in dockyards, city buildings, ancient wonders with colour display and fireworks.

only started listening to him from the 'Revolution' and 'Jarre Live' albums,
after which I backtracked and bought the rest of the albums.
