    Let me add one of my favorites for 1981: Jean-Michel Jarre - Concerts in China

    In 1981 (when Les Chants Magnétiques was released), the British Embassy gave Radio Beijing copies of Jarre albums, which became the first pieces of foreign music to be played on Chinese national radio in decades. The Republic invited Jarre to become the first western musician to play in post-Mao Zedong China.

      Ah, a Live Album. Will listen.

      I've only heard Oxygène of his (it's good), but prog electronic is something I enjoy quite a bit.

        I tend to not like lives very much, but this is truely a concept album in which he created a whole musical story with samples from his travels. Also I added an interesting tidbit about it.
