The best-known movement from Jarre’s breakthrough album Oxygène, “Part IV” is a melodic, uptempo electronic instrumental built from layered analog synth lines and a preset drum-machine pulse. Issued as a single in 1977, it became Jarre’s first international hit—charting widely in Europe and establishing the airy, cosmic sound that defined his early concerts and subsequent albums.
