Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

It rained most of the first day, but stopped just before the show started, and held off through the whole show. So any footage of the show in the rain is from the second night. There were high winds though, meaning a number of things planned for the show were abandoned - the stage was supposed to ...

Wow. Would love to hear the whole show. It didn’t sound that good on the night!

I think of it as Jarre's Silver age. Although I've never really liked Glory, I was taken by surprise, thinking the closing music for a documentary spin-off for Chris Nolan's Interstellar sounded very Jarre-like. Checking the very small print in the credits, I was amazed to find it was indeed our boy ...

A wonderfully succinct description of Zoolook. 40 years after it's release, there's STILL nothing quite like it.

Ditto

Mr J is interviewed, and is on the front cover of the latest issue of Electronic Sound magazine - second time, I think - and they have an exclusive single available of equinoxe 7 and Epica Oxygene from the Versailles album.

Well, that just made my day. Loved that show, thought it was musically and visually his best since Tolerance.

Here's hoping it is a new version of Moon Machine, as the original really doesn't fit with the whole vibe of Zoolook in my opinion. Yeah, it's sample based, but that is the only thing it has in common. No vocal FX at all, unlike the rest of Zoolook. Probably why it was pulled from the album to begin ...

Listening to the streaming version now - and yup there are gaps - still fades out then back in again at the end of each track.

Still blocked in the UK.

So annoyed at Channel 4, last week the EPG on my Sky box said it was on until 10.30pm, then they cut it to 9.30pm.
Advert break straight after the medley, then they just talked over the French DJs for about 15 mins then it ended.


Their coverage was appalling ...

Well, Channel 4 in the UK went to an extended commercial break the instant Stardust finished, then when they returned, talked all over the next performer, and then cut to another show. Guess I’m not seeing the rest of Jarres performance on there.

Jarre's best live show in ages - and - as a long time fan of Queen and Jarre (my first ever concert was Queen at Wembley in '86) I will admit to being a bit misty-eyed from time to time, seeing Mr J and Mr M finally perform together.

Please - give us a Blu-ray and live album of this!

My brother is a Queen fan, and he sent me the notification this morning, so it seems word is going out on the Queen side as well.

I look forward to hearing the two of them together- being a big fan of Mr J and Queen. - there’s been talk for years of them collaborating, dating back to the 30th ...

Loving the invisible keyboard he's playing at the start of the Making Of video. Bet that was expensive.

sounded like it was virtually all playback of album tracks, so unless the visuals were great, I won't miss it.

Did like the new Oxygene 4 - what little I heard of it - and Industrial Revolution - a personal favourite - always goes down well.

Ironic that 'Falling Down' played just as the error ...
