Where to start
Five records, in order, for people who have never heard a note.
Vangelis: where to start
He never used a sequencer, never played a twenty-minute piece, and belongs here anyway. Five records, in order, and why the two you know come last.
Jean-Michel Jarre: where to start
A first album made on a second-hand organ in a Paris kitchen, and the concerts that filled city squares. Five records, in order.
Kitaro: where to start
The man who took the Berlin sequence, gave it a melody, and sold it to Asia. Five records, in order, and why the famous one is the right place to begin.
Klaus Schulze: where to start
Sixty solo albums by one man, recorded across five decades. Five of them, in order, and the reason it has to be this order.
Tangerine Dream: where to start
Start with these five, in this order. Then the albums worth coming back to later. For people who have never heard a note.
