The album cover art was created by long-time collaborator Michel Granger. Background Oxygène 7-13 is dedicated to his mentor at the GRM, Pierre Schaeffer, who had died two years before. The album was recorded and mixed by Jarre together with Patrick Pelamourges and René Ameline respectively at Oxygene studio and Croissy studio. It was also the last album by Jarre featuring Michel Geiss as collaborator. It also had the collaboration of the keyboardist Francis Rimbert and the programmer Christian Sales. He combined the "spherical sounds" of the 1976 album with contemporary rhythms. Eschewing digital techniques developed in the 1980s, in an interview for The Daily Telegraph he said: Release Oxygène 7-13 was released in February 1997. "Oxygène 7", "Oxygène 8" and "Oxygène 10" were released as singles. A number of remixes of Oxygène 7–13 tracks were made, including those comprising most of the album Odyssey Through O2. The Orb's "Toxygene" was originally going to be a remix of "Oxygène 8". However, The Orb "obliterated it" and reassembled only a few fragments for their new song. The album was followed by a promotional indoor European tour, and a concert in Moscow, Russia in which he would break for the fourth and last time his record for the largest audience in an open-air concert with a total of 3.5 million.
