This week we take a look at one of the most influential musicians in electronic music and certainly on those composers working on the Commodore 64. Come with us then on a magical journey of light harps, Moogs, and songs that seem to go on forever as we wait patiently for Cousteau on our beach of electronic enigmas and dive into the world of Jean-Michel Jarre.
