"Ten years ago, Edward Snowden warned us about state spying. Spare a thought for him, and worry about the future"

Very sad news. Condolences to his friends and family.

I think the promised Part II book (that teaser "...more to follow" suggested a follow-up would be produced?) from Jean-Louis Remilleux would be a brilliant thng for fans. The first book was 1948 - 1988, and therefore only covered the 12 years since Oxygene. A follow-up book will need to co...

Making The Steamroller Fly - Part II - ???

Qui Veut Devenir Une Star. Not sure if this is the real thing but it sounds very plausible:

Is there a new thread to start here? "Rumours, missing music and ultra rarities" ?!?!

I've read from various sources that JMJ composed a jingle to promote the new extension to the A4 autoroute in eastern France. This was in 1974. Interestingly, that's the same year Kraftwerk released Autobahn

I have never heard this jingle. Does anyone have a link? Or even better, an MP3 file?

The line "... the first musical videogram" refers to what exactly? Surely other (bigger and more popular) music artists in the 1970s had released concert films and live perfomances onto VHS home video tapes, hadn't they? Or was this really the first ever time? Or is the word "videogra...

And what looks like an Issey Miyake top: https://www.endclothing.com/gb/brands/h ... sey-miyake

I wonder if those JMJ logo shirts will ever appear in the online shop?

I'd forgotten about Michel Geiss's "stage presence" at La Defense. He's is more Kraftwerk than Kraftwerk in this concert! Super cool!

We had a 40th anniversary re-issue of the Concerts In China double album and next month is the 30th anniversary of Chronologie. I still vividly remember going into my local record shop in Preston, Lancashire, UK on 24th May 1993 to buy a copy as soon as the shop opened. I would really, really like t...

I'm sure they'll arrive very, very soon ... just after EōN for Android and the English translation of Mélancholique Rodéo

If I recall rightly, JMJ makes an interesting and quite political speech just before Souvenir of China is played, referring the the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 - just 9 months before the concert, remember - and the fact a whole host of European countries are now longer subject to commun...

The footage of the auction itself is very interesting. I have never seen that before. Was JMJ actually there? I couldn't see him anywhere. Did I miss him?!
