Hi,
I own a best-of-Vangelis CD and don't really know Morricone, but I love Jean-Michel Jarre! I have all of his studio CDs, and except his later works (Metamorphoses), they are great. Zoolook especially is fantastic, what he did there to turn snippets of speech from different languages into music is really great. What I don't like, though, is that so many documentaries on TV use his music as background (his, and Massive Attack's)...It's hard for me to listen to Oxygen or Equinoxe nowadays without getting the feeling I'm about to learn something about nature...
I've heard Jarre's live performances with light-show and all should be amazing; too bad I've missed to see one when he was touring a liitle more often.
