i definitely rank him alongside vangelis as one of the seminal synth pioneers fantastic musician imho 🙂
Seen him live a few times..
Love his work.
Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.
Say no more 8)
I'm not a fan of what he produces but I'd agree with his status as electronic music pioneer.
For a moment there I was expecting to read that he'd died.
I remember watching the Houston Rendezvous concert on telly when I was a kid and subsequently blagged a Casio keyboard from my parents convincing them I'd be doing that when I was older. I did get Grade 2 piano though.
I think JMJ's brill. Rendezvous was nearly 30 years ago (1986 just after Challenger and was meant to involve one of the astronauts that perished)

Was brought up on oxygene,plus Mike Oldfield tubular bells 😯
Still think it helps to fuel my love for daft punk etc!
I love Jean Michelle's stuff but the real pioneers (IMO) were http://www.tangerinedream.org/ Who were around a while before. I had an album called Stratosfear which was awesome!
I prefer Ricochet of the old TD stuff
Kraftwerk.
Think most artists of that ilk learnt a lot from them.
Chronologie is good for turbo sessions.
i should have added kraftwerk/tangerine dream as original pioneers 😳
And Moroder.
Went to the docklands concert he did, absolutely awesome.
He's right up there with Depeche Mode.
(That's a joke)
He got me into electronic music at a very young age, I really need to revisit his stuff.
I see your JMJ Oxygene electronic pioneer card, and raise you Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire with the original Dr Who theme of 1963.
Saw him in Paris a few years ago. Other than the ridiculous dyed hair and rock star "walking to the stage through the crown" entrance, he was really good.
