I'm Dutch so technically I'm not entitled to the Amazon download, but I'll try through a VPN.
Edit: Nope, it's linked to my Credit Card which isn't compatible with the Audio Rip. Well this sucks :P

Edit 2: Amazon states I'll probably get my packaging the 6th. Which sucks, but not that long a delay...

Very nice album. But this has absolutely nothing to do with the original oxygene. Same with oxygene 7-13. Just a record company pressure. They want sales and making money. The record company is the employer of the artist. And they decide. No record company? No records, No concerts, no promotion and no money for the artist. That's actually for every artist with a contract in a record company. In fact they even decide (record company) how it should sound. That's the harsh reality.

It is a good album.

But Oxygene was already complete since 1976.

For me Teo&Tea, Electronica 1 and 2 is fucking SHIT but:

Oxygene 3 is really GOOD.

I love slowly, minimalistic sounds without lead "sweet" melody. This album is for me. Thanks JMJ. Good job.

I also ordered on amazon (the German site) and the order status info has been nothing but confusing and contradictory. On the main page it would say delivery on release date and for two days now already 'shipping today', whereas on the tracking page it says shipping on the 5th and delivery 7/8. I filed a complaint as this is not what I expect in 2016 from online retailers.

I was also hoping to be able to at least listen to the album using the 1 month trial of amazon prime, but whatever link I try to click I don't end up on a site or app that enables me to listen to music. I put that in my complaint, too. what a mess.

So I'll just have to wait.

I love the new album, but I really wish they'd fix the artwork for digital versions of the Trilogy set. They've screwed up the aspect ratio so the globe looks like an egg 🙄

Mine says (on Amazon.de) that it will be shipped on Dec 5th and should be here between 10 Dec - 14 Dec. I think this marks the last time I'll pre-order anything from anywhere. :P

Oh well, gonna listen to it on Spotify tomorrow. Woo.

Yup same here. Hard to see the point of the pre-ordering procedure these days other then giving the label a hint of selling statistics.

Can anybody confirm whether the continuous mix is any different from the individual tracks? I'm guessing it's the same, but I can't listen to it until my CD set arrives today. It doesn't seem to be available on Apple Music.

Yep, it is mostly larger pictures of the synthesizers used on all of the Oxygene albums along with some other things such as the studio lighting used and the images of the master tapes of the three albums.
