Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Most of the tracks in his latest uploads seem to be of the EDM sort - something I'm not familiar with - so who knows where they've originated from.

(That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of AI generation going on in those new releases)

This Fall, on Jensenwatch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lcCnc8tPNseHCqY4jCq6P2j1iLkxtUZ8o Still a shame that the creator of the Oxygene 4 trance cover that Simon Jensen ripped off hasn't taken action against him - or perhaps the bigger shame is how Aero Prod never followed up on the...

A tribute listen to my mom, who passed away yesterday - SoC is the one JMJ track that I knew for a 100% fact that she liked

Man, the Equinoxe jumper worn by the staff member on the left side of this picture looks pretty good - I don't think I've seen that version of the art where the Equinoxe guy is in front of the Equinoxe audience members

Looking at some completed auctions - is the PLD-adjacent CD single of Calypso 2 really this rare nowadays? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/235035627545

Sure, prices have gone up in the past few years, but I could have sworn this was like 10 € purchase back in 2007 or so

I think it's a shame that there wasn't a major album between WFC and Chronologie, because it would have been great to have more tracks in the vein of the early-1990s sound of Globetrotter and Palawan. ;) (Also, I could have sworn that the 1997 remaster's booklet stated that Globetrotter was made for...

Didn't know of this Essential 76-86 variant :p https://www.ebay.ie/itm/175695088411

A mixed performance (still a fan of Paris Underground and the instrumental performance of Together Now), but in hindsight it still was the last of the megaconcerts so that's something

Also to note: the Rimbert banks also include some JD-800 factory presets as well - Fusion Solo, Iceman, Aurora Borealis for example.

It reminds me of the Keyboards magazine Roland D-50 JMJ/Rimbert patches ("full strings", "hq bass" or something like that) and how I couldn't really place them on any JMJ tracks of the time (whether WFC, Revolutions or PLD). Maybe one of them was used for the string lead of Equin...

I should mess around with those presets a bit more, but indeed there are many presets that are named something JMJ related (Oct Strings JMJ for example, which I can't really recognize as such from any JMJ track). A lot of them indicate that they've been used in Fishing Junks at Sunset (likely the Ho...

Looking at the PLD page, man, there should have been (and there should be) more footage from this angle

Sheesh, not to mention that if something is still sealed, it doesn't mean it's still intact and in perfect condition inside :P Incidentally, I recently got one of those new Audio-Technica Sound Burger turntables and played through my O7-13 record and the skip that my copy used to have in Oxygene 8, ...

I wasn't too convinced by Bandcamp already back in 2013-2016 when I had my album uploaded there, out of all the categories (Electronic, Noise, Instrumental if I remember correctly) the only category the album actually appeared in was "Finland" which I hadn't even put as a tag myself but wa...

Man, you can sort of hear the music going all "this is the last part of the very last Mike Oldfield track ever" at 6:55 of the full TB4 Intro! Admittedly I haven't listened too much of his music outside Tubular Bells, but I still prefer Tubular Bells II to the original (and I find myself l...
