  Are you sure about this?  I didn't recognise any J-M Jarre music in the
radio series (then again, I only know `Oxygene').  I understood that most of
the music was written and performed under the auspices of the BBC's 
Radiophonics Workshop.  It often sounded akin to Jarre's rambling doodles, but
Oxygene it sure was not. (Maybe we've heard different radio shows....).
