Electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre has announced that he will release a newly remastered version of his 1984 album Zoolook on vinyl through Sony Music on January 10. It will be preceded by a digital version of the album on November 8.
Greatly influenced by Jarre's former mentor Pierre Schaeffer's musique concrète approach, something he also utilised on 2022's Oxymore album, Zoolook saw Jarre recording samples of singing and speech in 25 different languages which were then put through a Fairlight synthesizer, an early example of sampling in music.
