Jean-Michel Jarre Leads Echoes April Top 25 with Oxygene Trilogy, culminating 40 years of electronic music that inspired artists here like Erik Wøllo and Delia Derbyshire Appr’n Society.
While German space music was creating sequencer driven grooves Klaus Schulze created an ambient dreamscape, Mirage: A Winter Landscape in 1977. John Diliberto looks back.
