Gary Numan, Jean Michel Jarre: A Musical Interlude

You know, I’ve got to admit, this one one of the few weeks where, happily, I had a little spare spending money.

So I’ve managed to treat meself to a couple of albums.

And just in case you hadn’t guessed?

It was a copy of one of Jean Michel Jarre’s recent albums — the 2003 Geometry of Love — and one of Gary Numan’s earlier albums: the iTunes version of the 30th Anniversary release of The Pleasure Principle.

The Pleasure Principle I think I’ve only actually heard once, since it was originally saw light of day, back in 1979, so it was fascinating to hear it, again.

And Jarre’s Geometry of Love I’ve not heard ’til I got it: it’s a touch more atonal than some othe earlier stuff of his I’ve got, but still worth catching.

But I think I should urge you to go get them, and make your own minds up.

Ley me know what you think, as and when you do.
