Equinoxe

Equinoxe is the title of the fourth studio album by French musician and composer Jean Michel Jarre. It was released in December 1978 and was the follow-up album to the worldwide hit album Oxygène.

Equinoxe follows the pattern of Oxygene in consisting of two long instrumental 'suites' (one per LP side) divided into "parts". Equinioxe has a total of eight parts compared to the six on its predecessor. As with Oxygene the lead single is the opening track on side 2 of the album.

Various parts of the album have featured in Jarre's compilation albums and live performances over the years. A segment of Part 8 has also been played live by Jarre on the accordion, and entitled 'Band in the Rain'.
