Chronology forms Jarre's start in the modern 90's, and comes with really good compositions therefore. Some tracks are fast and danceable (chronology 2, 4, 5 and 6) and take their inspiration heavily from the then upcoming trend in techno wave of the early 90s, while the pieces are in between kept rather quiet and atmospheric as in ancient times. JMJ has always adapted to the synth sounds for the year or decade, which was already at Oxygene so just as with all other, you can hear almost when that album came out in about. However, what remains constant is the unmistakable signature of him, and so even with chronology. For some of the synth sound of the 90's like maybe cheap if JMJ first brings his fingers into play, it conjures up some wonderful songs like here. I find all chronology stronger than its two predecessors "Waiting for Cousteau" and "Revolution", as you do much more out listening to the old, typical Jarre here. The chronological (... haha!) Titelbennung as with "Equinoxe" and "Oxygène" is available here, plus the beautiful, blue cover ... everything reminds one a lot more to former days, what strikes me quite postiv , In principle, the album chronology as a hybrid of the familiar, relaxed sound carpets from the 70s and danceable, upbeat rhythms from the start of eden '90s, a successful balancing act, atmospheric and exciting at the same time.
For new Sony Remaster 2015: Generous with aufgepusht and quite loud what some pieces but does not harm (chronology 2 & 5). Typical of Sony, as with Oxygène and Equinoxe, much more bass and a little more treble. The whole was pretty heavily compressed and has much less dynamic than in the original, which is especially noticeable in the quiet passages macht..da these no longer are really quiet. : / In Spartan booklet is "Remastered from analogue master tapes by Dave Dadwater for Yakuda Audio, 2014". Well, Mr. Papa water it has no exaggeration to raise the loudness war, but he manages "Chronology" in a fresh, modern level.
PS .: If you like it more relaxed, should the successor "Oxygène 7-13" attack)
