This album is dedicated to the following people without whom Oxygene could never have existed: Pierre Schaeffer, who taught me everything in electro-acoustic and electronic music, Peter Zinovieff, who conceived the first European synthesizer and my first one: the VCS3, the Dutch company, Eminent, who built the fantastic string ensemble Eminent 310, Alan R. Pearlman, who created the ARP 2600 & ARP 2500, Les Bradley, who developed the Mellotron, Ikutaro Kakehashi, founder of Roland, who gave us the Minipop and so many other marvels, Mike Matthews (3) who imagined these crazy pedals such as the Small Stone and the Electric Mistress, and my friend Robert Moog for obvious reasons.

"We must not kill the planet, we would not kwow where to bury it..." this thought has never left me since my childhood.
A shared preoccupation brought JMJ and me together: Oxygen.
He translated it into music and I to images.
And I do remember, in Tangiers, the taxi's radio aired "Oxygène".
As I had just given JMJ the image for the album cover, this music, faster than the speed of sound, was already in orbit around the planet.
