Possibly it is François Wertheimer who wrote the music for "La Psychosomnie, Methode Contre l'Insomnie".
His worked with Webb since 1968: Festival de la magie. Olympia. Musique, et travail des techniques d'illusion. (...) Interestingly, this F. Wertheimer was also an old schoolbuddy from Jarre !!C'est avec Jean-Michel Jarre, camarade du lycée Michelet de Vanves, que François Wertheimer commence la musique professionnellement.

I have the lp but I'm sure it's not by Jarre because it's not written on the label and the cover. The only way to know it it's to ask to the SACEM. If Jarre composed that, I'm sure he talked about it like the others compositions pre-oxygene, doesn't he ?

According to the SACEM database, only Dominique Webb is the composer of "La Psychosomnie, Methode Contre l'Insomnie", but, because he is not a musician, I also think about Wertheimer (not being credited!).
By the way, it is probably not an hazard that Wertheimer has links between both Webb and Jarre. I think he introduced them to each other !

I got the one from the end titles too:

I was checking the end titles if someone is credited for the music, but no-one is.

Not neccesaryly rare, but seeing that the Oxygene in Moscow never got a release I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the sound quality of this release is, and if it's even official

Brazilian edition, CD with the same sound from the DVD concert.

[shadow]

Alright the DVD wasn't that bad actually, will get it in that case, love the concert to bad it's not the full thing though...

[Finaero]

If you have the DVD you can use a program like DVD Decrypter to extract the audio and make your own CD out of it.

[shadow]

You mean that there is absolutely no difference..? Exactly the same audio..? I atleast expected a somewhat different mix

[melo]

No diferent mix. Same sound. Nothing new

[shadow]

Darned, I hoped something a bit different... Well then I'll just be ripping the DVD

Not sure rather Cartolina should be considered rare or not, but I came across something earlier today and it looked awfully familiar to me. Can't be coincidence right..?

Cartolina Cover:


Le Chat Noir:

Of course not...

The Le Chat Noir picture to the french is like any Zeeuws Meisje picture to the dutch

Does someone got the early edition from “Oxygene 4”, from 1975 ? It was broadcast on Radio Equinoxe some years ago…I never seen this version before or after…

[shadow]

I know of an early Equinoxe 5 version, don't remember an early Oxygene 4 version though...

It exists.. somewhere.

"During the beginnings of Oxygene composition, af friend asked Jarre if he has a melody for him to praise the extension of Highway East (A4). Thus it provides a model of what would become, after its arrangements ultimately Oxygen 4. The idea at the time of its composition is quite clear: it is to fix the horizon to his car, see "far ahead." Jarre but does not suspect that his original idea will attract advertisers so that the project on the radio some time (months?) Before oxygene came out." (ruff translation from French)

I also found this:
"Oxygene 4 was created by Jean Michel Jarre to illustrate an advertisement for the extension of Highway East (A4) in 1976. The title was used in TV as généraique television news Antenna 2, presented by Jean-Pierre Elkabbach"
