In JmJ we have a legend of Music, not just Electronic music.

That was a neat write up on Oxymore. Bravo!

This is how a contemporary electronic album should sound like. Profound Mysteries is like a "golden fruit" in the band's career. There are some things JMJ could learn... JmJ is always learning I feel, it's in his nature to learn that's reason JmJ is so much into tech, into latest plugins ...

Outstanding.

Seeing so much more of the visuals is so nice.

I really hope JmJ does just one more concert as this.

But where though.

Brilliant behind the scenes.

I didn't attend the 2010 concerts as I felt that they were the end of JmJ musically, summing up his albums for one final hurrah, reduced to playing small indoor arenas.

I'm so glad I was totally wrong.

I can't say I'm a fan of any musician not even JmJ. I'm into lots of music they do, been influenced lots by them musically. 90s were The time for JmJ to make an album with PG. Both had already brought much elements from different parts of the World into their music. JmJ would have resampled PG's voi...

Front cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
This is something.

Sound on Sound is probably the most respected music technology recording magazine in the industry.

They always have highest regard for JmJ.

On their forum one of the Mods is a Grammy judge for Technical Recording Mixing Mastering.
JmJ is a hero for this Grammy judge.

This is an amazing list of remixers Often times it takes others to show us our true worth. JmJ possibly I think went through perhaps two decades of wondering after all the things he had done to bring Electronic Music to the Masses Worldwide (more than any other musican), that he wasn't appreciated ...

Hmm, that'd make sense. IIRC Rimbert did share some of JMJ's custom Roland D-50 patches with some keyboard magazine too (even though from what I remember, I didn't recognize those sounds from any JMJ tracks/renditions from the era ;)) I would like to know exactly what the various personnel did on R...

The worst part of that "ping pong ball sound = Magnetic Fields 1" issue is that it has led to all those bootlegs dividing PLD's tracklisting to monstrosities like "--- Magnetic Fields 1, Souvenir of China, Diva, Sylvain Durand sneezing, Magnetic Fields 2 ---". Now that's anal. ;...

Syncopated lead is unnecessary makes it too mid 90s sounding.
It's the background stuff that's interesting.

Incidentally Orient Express is the precursor to the mid 90s syncopated dance trance lead melodies from musicians as Faithless.

The Dadwater reissue mastering has been an unmitigated disaster, absolutely agree. It's shocking how such shoddy work is allowed pass muster, but it's all about economics. Pass off new packaging and a 'new' remaster as something new to purchase. The most troubling aspect of this is that JMJ (or at ...
