In 2015, Jarre released the first of two albums, containing 34 tracks, most recorded with a different artist. The collaborators on Electronica 1&2 are a Who’s Who of electronic music over the years, including Vince Clarke, Gary Numan, Massive Attack, Moby, John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, Gesaffelstein, Peaches and Julia Holter. Jarre admitted that of the newer acts he wanted to work with, future trance duo Fuck Buttons came out on top. “The first time I heard their music I was amazed,” he said. “This wall of sound and these distorted soundscapes … It’s quite amazing to come from that generation, where you have so many sounds and music all over the world, to be able to create something visible with a special touch. It’s very unusual.” Immortals is a ballsy and ambient showstopper and the undoubted highlight of the first record.
