The thing that amazes me is that they mention a load of adopters of the Moog, but not Jean-Michelle Jarre.

A quick check on Wikipedia says jmj used other synths, at least for oxygen from 76

Well, Oxygen I was not his only work. He definitely used Moogs on Zoolook and Magnetic Fields, though.

The son of the famous musician?

I'd say that JMJ is sufficiently famous on his own, even if he decided to go in a completely different direction than his father, who would not make music with less than a full orchestra...
