Well, *Zoolook *and *Zoolookologie *are not «*those albums*», as these are
tracks from the same *Zoolook *album actually.
«*Music from the mind's eye*» is an interesting sentence by the way, as
this is probably how John Doe or Joe Public would rate any of your
favourite IDM albums.
Let's get straight to the point anyway : «*stock wavetable sounds*».
I totally agree and am comfor(wave)table about this in fact.
I mean what's not to like in these static and crude sounding «rough cut»
waveforms ?!
I find some kind of a naive art appeal to them, and i really mean it, so
this is no irony of off-beat humour at all.
These sounds are so inexpressive that they eventually only speak for
themselves.
I'm no longer into «*slowly rotating gourad shaded cube or something*»
anymore but yes, *Bit Arts*' *Ba1 *or *Walkman*'s *We're the devils *remain
among my all-time favourite tracks for instance.
I do sincerely enjoy every bit art of it :

Back to *Jarre*, these couple of *Zoolook *tracks admittedly sound a little
cheesy but i like it that way.
For some more *Squarepusher*-friendly take on those frosty *Synclavier *tones
and provided you haven't done yet, you might give a listen to *Zappa*'s *Jazz
from hell* :

Wicked.
But ultimately, of course, *Depeche Mode*'s mid/late-80s stuff are among
the finest achievements mankind ever created to my ears.
The Unesco should actually consider adding them to their list if you ask me.
