Where we learn that TD recorded a cover of Oxygen and that Edgar offered
it as a gift to JMJ... 

"It’s surprising that Jean Michel and Tangerine Dream had never
collaborated before, considering their decades of parallel synth-prog
trailblazing. But Jarre says of their meeting: “I took the car to Edgar
Froese’s place, 100 miles from Vienna, and when he opened the door it was
really funny because it was like we were old friends, like we met last
week. We had so many things to share. 

“As a gesture of welcome he offered me a Tangerine Dream version of
Oxygene. It was a personal present and I was really moved, but maybe I
will let people hear it some day. We spent a lot of time in his studio
and the rest of the band came along. 

“We joined forces again for the mix and it has been very unique as Edgar
passed away a few weeks after we finished this track, the last track of
Tangerine Dream with Edgar, their father figure. I had to make the album
a tribute to him, as one of the grand and relevant figures in electronic
music history.”
