Les Chants Magnétiques (English title: Magnetic Fields) is the fifth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus on 22 May 1981. The album was one of the first records to use sampling as a musical element and represents a departure from the sound of Jarre's previous efforts. The long first track consists of three distinct movements, the slower second movement being heavily laden with sample work
Les Chants Magnétiques was the third of Jean Michel Jarre's albums in a row to update Tangerine Dream's atmospheric sequencer trance for a synth pop and mainstream crossover audience. The side-long "Les Chants Magnetiques, Pt. 1" is the capstone of the album, while "Pt. 2" through "Pt. 5" move through driving electronic pop and several passages more indebted to Jarre's past in the musique concrète scene.
Though Jean-Michel Jarre's first album of the ’80s is composed of a single electronic suite, it’s both more urgent and features greater rhythmic momentum than any of the epic synthesiser journeys he’d taken before. Seemingly informed by the early ’80s synth-pop explosion-for which Jarre’s earlier albums helped lay the groundwork-Les Chants Magnétiques is the sound of a concept coming full circle. Upbeat, percolating rhythms and perky snatches of melody tickle the ear along the way, as the extended piece evolves. Les Chants Magnétiques, Magnetic Fields Jean-Michel Jarre.

Disc: 1. 1. Les Chants Magnetiques, Pt. 2. 3. 4. 5. Product details. I was first introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre in about 1980 or 1981 by a neighbor's older brother. This was the only recording of Jarre's earlier work that I really got into and so it was I kept the album. Jump ahead 35-years and I finally decided I missed it enough to purchase the CD and I'm very glad I did. I won't say that the style survives perfectly into 2015, but I still see why I liked it when first introduced to it.
