Jarre, the son of film composer Maurice Jarre, had already cemented his reputation as a seminal electronic/new age figure with the late-'70s albums Oxygene and Equinoxe. But 1984's Zoolook was a more urbane effort, fleshing out tape-looped voices with gurgling, washy synthesizers and on-the-money live players, notably Zappa/Talking Heads guitarist Adrian Belew and Miles Davis bassist Marcus Miller. Less cosmic pretense and more information-age irony, Zoolook, with bizarre titles like "Wooloomooloo" and "Zoolookologie" had as much to do with media-manipulators like Laurie Anderson-who also makes a cameo-as proto-ambientists like Robert Rich or Brian Eno, with whom Jarre is usually bracketed. --James Rotondi

Jean-Michel Jarre Zoolook.......2007-01-10

This a great techno-dance artisitc allbum from the 80's If you like Laurie Anderson's Big Science you will like this allbum!

Maybe I am not ready for this ?.......2007-01-04

Too much experiments and not enough melodies. I prefer his previous works like Oxygène and Equinoxe, but I really don't like this one.
Call it sounds experimentation but not music. A average of 4,5 stars rating should means an almost perfect album, we are really far from this.

Zoolook.......2006-03-18

Zoolook~ Jean-Michel Jarre is a case where the artist is way to avant-garde for his own best. After having made amazing albums such as Oxygene, Equinox and Magnetic Fields he unfortunately creates this mess of an album. I find it a bit too much like modern art, i.e., confusing, confounding and impossible to grasp. It also seems like Jarre was a bit over confident when he recorded this album. He had recorded some of the best synth albums of all time and decided to create a total arts album and it just does not work. This is an album that should have stayed unrealesed since it is just to avant-garde and sounds more like an experimental sound session rather then as a well produced album. Very disapointing indeed!

'Wooolloooooomoooollllooooooooo????'.......2005-07-01

Funny and well crafted album althugh not a highlight from Jarre. It is a predecessor of all the altered voice albums. The main songs are really funny to listen and the titles say it all. 'Zoolook????', 'Zoolooklogie'?????

'Wooloomoooloooo????????'

Ein??

The first track, 'Ethnicolor' is strong and interesnting. The second one, 'Diva', although a bit boring it's strange and interesting; as Laurie Anderson speaks a lot of silly noises and some voices say some things. Jarre paints kind of a human jungle with voices for all over the world which is something nobody thought of before.

The closing 'Ethnicolor II' is for me a highlight in spite of it's short duration, as it closes the album with a great, strange atmosphere and that cello evoking a lot of different emotions. A nice album, very original and a classic of instrumental synth music already.

Just Amazing CD !!!!!.......2005-04-15

This is just a great great cd much more ambitious then cds like oxagen and equanox and quite a bit differnet
if your a fan of Laurie Anderson the you will love this cd
My only complant is it ends the last songs seems to be going along and just ends I guess they ran out of LP time I just wish it was longer
I love it !!
