Chills upon hearing the first track. Just like 40 years ago after rushing home with the newly-released Equinoxe.
Once again I am twenty years old, skimming over a vast sea of golden dunes in my landspeeder under a double sun in a wheat-colored sky with the love of my life at my side.
In 1978 as the original Equinoxe was spinning on the turntable I called my friend and mentor Kent and after holding the receiver (yes, Virginia, it was a phone with a wire connected to the wall) up to the speaker I said, "Can you hear that? Landspeeders!" It's been a long time since a piece of music had me bouncing off the ceiling.
I won't say Infinity does this—and a lot of the same criticisms I had with Jarre's last sequel, Oxygene 3, apply here as well—but it's still a worthy followup to the original work.
