Album Introduction
Revolutions is the studio album by Jean-Michel Jarre — born Jean-Michel André Jarre, from Lyon, France — released in 1988 on Polydor Records.

London Kid features Hank Marvin of The Shadows on guitar, while Industrial Revolution is a multi-part suite exploring themes of technology, culture and social change through Jarre's distinctive cinematic style. Known for his spectacular live performances and innovative use of electronic instruments, Jarre continued to push the boundaries of ambient, synth and electronic music with Revolutions.
