    As a standalone album this just doesn't work for me. There are no catchy hooks that I'll be humming for decades to come unlike on the previous two Oxygene albums. However taken in context as the final instalment, it can be treated as the more ambient and melancholy closer, the contemplative come-down. I just don't see that I'll be giving it as much play time as I have with the other two.

    The third installment of Jarre's eco-themed trilogy follows the same pattern as its predecessors. [Jan 2017, p.24]

    There’s a theme, numbered from 14; dramatic, cinematic, dark but (disappointingly) modern-dancey. 18 hits an ambient spot, though, and 20 is the big ole cosmic epic we really crave.

    As he closes the final chapter in his Oxygène trilogy, Jarre somehow finds a way to fit all its components in a box, but can’t quite tie the bow holding them together.
