About this album
“Zoolook” is the fifth album by Jean Michel Jarre, and released in 1984 on Disques Dreyfus. It makes extensive use of digital recording techniques and sampling. It is considered by many fans to be Jean Michel Jarre’s most experimental album to date. Much of the music is built up from song and speech from over thirty different languages, together with other synthesizers, as well as more traditional instruments. Much of the tone of the album appears to be influenced by elements of musique concrète and by his time as a student of Pierre Schaeffer.
Parts of the album were reworkings of material that had already appeared as sections of the album “Music For Supermarkets”, released the previous year. “Moon Machine”, a track that later appeared on a flexidisc in “Keyboard Magazine”, the 12-inch release of “Fourth Rendez-vous”, and the much later “Images” compilation album, was recorded for this album but not included.
It is one of the first Compact Discs labelled as “DDD”: Digitally recorded, mixed and mastered.

I would hereby like to agree wholeheartedly with Shingouz. :-) And in response to Danextpope: the original album was released in November 1984, and actually had 7 tracks, not 6: (1)Ethnicolor, (2)Diva, (3)Zoolook, (4)Wooloomooloo, (5)Zoolookologie, (6)Blah-Blah Cafe, (7)Ethnicolor II. Only the 3'42" edit on the "Images" compilation (1991) is labelled "Ethnicolor I" - the original full-length 1984 version is just called "Ethnicolor". The album was first released on CD in 1985 with the same 7 tracks, although 'Zoolook' and 'Zoolookologie' were both remixes, and their positions switched so that 'Zoolook' was Track 5 instead of 3, and vice-versa. It was re-mastered and re-released in 1997 (as were all of Jarre's other albums), and was returned to the original 1984 track order and versions. The listing of tracks at the top of this page is just wrong - I've never seen a release of 'Zoolook' that runs in that cocked-up order. Hope that clears a few things up for people. :-)

Obviously, this is a track listing from a newer release. The original album released in the 80s had only six tracks:
Ethnicolor I
Diva
Zoolook
Wooloomooloo
Zoolookologie
Blah-Blah Cafe

so strange !!! Zoolook (track nr 4) is very close from aphex twin's windowlicker... same spirit same style : sick vocals samples + experimental funky beats + silly melody.... bizarre ? No, Richard D. James was 13 when zoolook came out in 1984...
