1) Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
I loved this piece of music, because it reminded me of our local estuary, that ran out to the sea. I would paint the scene during art class and the music reminded me of the birds on the Saltings.
2) Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
I grew up with this all through my teenage years too. The last piece specifically 33:20 brings back very recent poignant memories - I played it a lot at a time when I had become so ill, that I thought I was dying. Now when I listen to it, I feel joyful - because I am still alive.
3) Vangelis - Heaven and Hell
I must admit to hearing more of this in the early eighties - especially 13:20 - the theme tune to Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I used to love hearing his stuff (he had just this amazing voice that was so comforting) and I was fascinated with the stars. I remember my sister and myself as kids sitting together looking at the stars.
Fond times :-)
