Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Interesting comment by Michel Chion. But he might have read the Festival's PR blurb too literally... Those blurbs are typically not written by whom they are about and are hyped up. JMJ never said he was a member of GRM, merely that he studied there. He never said he met Stockhausen at GRM, he said h...

Now in stock on Fnac.com https://www.fnac.com/a16663743/Jean-Michel-Jarre-Radiophonie-Volume-12-Exclusivite-Fnac-CD-album Thank you Nexxxus for the info. I was able to order it - although with Fnac that doesn't mean anything... To partly answer your question, the first CD of the Radiophonie vol. 10...

If any lucky member does get a CD, would they be kind enough to make a rip of it? Thanks! Not condoning piracy, and willing to buy, but apparently they don't want to sell... II rip my discs with CueRipper anyway, so if I manage to get a copy (or Jones manages to get me an extra one) I'll make one a...

He doesn't say anything about the songs. His autobiography has several appendixes: - Playlist Playlist of over 100 songs and pieces of music, including some he contributed to (e.g. Stardust, Les mots bleus). He mentioned in an interview that one could listen to the playlist (preferably in the order ...

Yet another release impossible to get :-( If any lucky member does get a CD, would they be kind enough to make a rip of it? Thanks! Not condoning piracy, and willing to buy, but apparently they don't want to sell... Funny typo on the back of the CD: "David Terreau". In French, terreau = so...

Just seen the posts about Vice and realized I missed the earlier post about Hallo Spaceboy (PSB Remix) of 2020... Interestingly JMJ mentions this very version of the Bowie song in the playlist at the end of his Mélancolique Rodéo book (last song of the playlist - p. 351 of the original 2019 edition ...

JMJ explained the title of the piece "Oxymore" (= French word for "oxymoron" as Oxygene pointed out) in an interview. He said that musique concrète juxtaposes (or opposes) sounds that are not necessarily heard together in nature or in our day-to-day environment, so it's an oxymor...

Thank you for the info, Dr_Jones!

Happy New Year to you all!

Hi everyone, Just wondering whether anyone bought the Snapshots from Eōn box set? And more importantly what they think of the set? Does the book contain interesting information on the making of the application (or otherwise) or is it mostly pictures in a coffee table book? How does it compare to, sa...

Maybe some of you noticed before... I never noticed until I stumbled upon a statement indicating that the track Akropolis is a rework of the song Give me a Sign.

Hi, Many know about Señor Coconut and his orchestra (first it was 2 samplers, but later on real musicians) and his album of Kraftwerk covers (El Baile Alemán, 1999: https://www.discogs.com/Se%C3%B1or-Coconut-Y-Su-Conjunto-El-Baile-Alem%C3%A1n/master/51868). Did you know that he did a cover of Oxygèn...

It's actually not a person's voice, it's a speech synthesizer. JMJ said so in the video EPK on a bonus CD that came with the album in France. "... There is a girl, which is actually a computer voice, a computer voice that is sensual and detached at the same time..."

Thank you Dr_Jones for this summary - some interesting tidbits.
Can't wait to listen to the (not quite) album - Amazônia!

Well crap, the last webstore that listed Remix EP2 is no longer selling it: https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/112059/Jean-Michel_Jarre-Remix_EP_II-FLAC_44kHz24bit_Download ... I seem to recall EP[2] was also available as 320kbps MP3s for a short period. EP[1] definitely was. Good enough, really. 3...
