Beaubourg is the fourth studio album by Vangelis, released in 1978. It is a concept album inspired by the architecture of the namesake complex, the Centre Georges Pompidou. It depicts life in the Beaubourg neighborhood, his place of residence in Paris. This album is, quite simply, nearly 40 minutes of Vangelis noodling in real time on two Yamaha CS-80 synthesizers, his instrument of choice at the time. These pure synthesizer sounds have made Beaubourg a true cult classic over the years. The musical value of Beaubourg is a demonstration of the tonal possibilities of a good synth in the hands of a master.
