Discography


Welcome to the Discography pages of JARRE UK.

This was to be Jean Michel Jarre's first 'Best of' compilation, and only released in the UK.

The album contains tracks from his previous 3 albums, and also the Concerts in China album; in which some of the tracks were re-recorded in the studio.

Also, although The Essential was only ever released in the UK as such, a version of the album was realeased only in Italy entitled 'Synthesis', and has a totally different cover to the UK edition - it uses the image that is featured on the German 'Best Of' album Musik Aus Zeit Und Raum.

The tracklisting though is the same as below.
