Very cool. Then you know what I'm talking about.  I myself have AFAIK 
every Jarre album.  In there is Pink Floyd and Vangelis, ELO, Moody 
Blues. I think those are my favorite bands.

I recently found out an artist I really like (Isao Tomita) who stopped 
making stuff 20 years ago didn't stop after all. They just stopped 
exporting it from Japan to America. Love the internet, there. :-)

The other album that's about Jarre's closest to goa would be the zoolook 
album.

In particular, the Zoolookologie and Zoolook tracks. Which is actually 
useful advice, now that you can buy this stuff one track at a time. :-)

Yeah, all very fun.

Vangelis does great theme music, but he also has a few klunkers. Of 
course, he has 3x the music of everyone else I like, so having 1x 
klunkers isn't much of a problem.
