Album Notes & Community Reviews

The French electronic pioneer deliberately pivots away from the sprawling, instrumental synthesizer suites of his classic era to embrace modern, vocal-driven dance music. 'Metamorphoses' prominently features guest vocalists like Laurie Anderson and Sharon Corr, anchoring its slick, contemporary house and trance production. It represents a significant, highly accessible stylistic update for the veteran composer.
