The album was recorded and mixed at Croissy studio.
Revolutions consists predominantly of the synthesizer's presets; despite dismissing the DX7 for permitting a similar reliance, Jarre defended this decision by stating that "If you like the sound of the piano, you don't try to change or twist the sound. You use it. The same goes for a violin or a clarinet. So, if there is a sound that you like in the synth, why should you go 'no, since it's in the instrument, we should not use it?' That's stupid." The title track contains reworked samples of an unpublished composition by Turk
Kudsi Erguner, which Jarre had acquired from
ethnologist Xavier Bellenger. Jarre, meanwhile, claimed in a 2018 interview that Erguner was hired as a session musician before abruptly suing his past collaborators in a bid for royalties. == Track listing ==
