Jean-Michel Jarre - Electronica 1: The Time Machine (2015)

The French synthesizer icon has been teasing out details on the new album since April, revealing various high profile collaborators involved with the record. Electronica 1: The Time Machine is in fact a fully collaborative effort: all of its 16 tracks have Jarre working with another producer.

His choices truly run the gamut. On "Travelator (Part 2)" he works with The Who's Pete Townshend, while "Suns Have Gone" has his teaming up with electronica superstar Moby. He's enlisted some other synth veterans, such as John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream—album track "Zero Gravity" is one of the last recorded works of the latter group's lynchpin, Edgar Froese. Elsewhere, Boys Noize, Gesaffelstein and Fuck Buttons also take up with the French legend.
