The seven-inch boasts two tracks, the intensely rhythmical 'La Cage' on the A-side and the more playful 'Erosmachine' on the reverse. Jarre recorded the former at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales, working at night and in secret because students weren't allowed to use the GRM equipment without supervision. "We didn't even dare turn a light on," he remembers. He employed banks of oscillators and filters on 'La Cage', while 'Erosmachine' is a more obviously musique concrète piece. Together, the two tracks add up to a highly significant and truly superb slice of electronic music history.
