Jarre's score for the French film Les Granges Brûlées, a notable early work that predates his more famous Oxygène and Équinoxe albums, showcases his developing electronic soundscapes. It is a moody, atmospheric soundtrack that complements the film's narrative while standing as a compelling piece of electronic music in its own right.
- The album was recorded at Jarre's Oxygène Studio in Paris.
- The film of the same name, starring Alain Delon, was directed by Jean Chapot.
- Les Granges Brûlées was released on Disques Dreyfus in 1973.
