@ Christophe, Sure, I will. Going to order the WYW single this week so should get it sometime next week. The US Exit single is the same as the EUR single so I would expect the same thing with the WYW single, although it would be cool to have pink vinyl to match the cover... We shall see. Speaking of...
Interesting to read people's (very different) opinions on the album... Haven't a opinion myself because I haven't listened to any tracks yet as I haven't received the album yet... But did receive the Exit 7"... Love the sleeve design! The record itself is heavy and the sleeve is made of sturdy ...
FYI, in the US, in addition to the 7" Exit (at a reasonable price at that, not eBay style price post RSD), a 7" of What You Want will be released on May 6. More expensive than Exit, probably because this one has 2 sides ;-) Amazon.de will have it on May 13. Amazon.fr and .co.uk list it as ...
Robi, Your guess makes perfect sense in the context of Electronica (type of music and credits). I hope there will be more performers on stage though, otherwise it's going to be more like a DJ set (Joachim) + basic percussion (Claude) + additional cymbals (Jarre) ;-) Basically like the concerts of 20...
In the US the Exit vinyl won't be available on RSD, but will be on Amazon.com ($7) on the same day as Electronica 2, May 6. Re: Electronica 2, this will be the first time a Jarre album is released (physically) on the same day as in France (Electronica 1 was released only as MP3 in the US). Incidenta...
Given the description of it, Christophe's new album should be interesting. Been waiting long enough... since the last one in 2008... I met Christophe in late 2013 and he told me that he expected his new album out a year from then... JMJ is not the only one to not keep promises ;-) Pity journalists s...
Hello everyone, Here is a translation of another "not-so-great" review (source: http://musique.blogs.lavoixdunord.fr/archive/2015/10/19/trente-nuances-de-jean-michel-jarre-14294.html). At least it's not a personal rant like the one in Le Monde, and the style is funny - I tried to render it...
Even if I think he's wrong, I do enjoy reading a really "oh my god I hate this shit" review :) And yes, I would like to read the other review. This one was very typical from the kind of reviewer that is desperate to show that he does like the "real" electronic music. Like Kraftw...
Hello everyone, Got a bit of time tonight, so here it is: a translation of Le Monde's article: " Jean-Michel Jarre: the story of an imposture Le Monde, 22 October 2015 by Stéphane Davet It's difficult to deny Jean-Michel Jarre's legitimacy as a pioneer, his media skills, his entrepreneurial eff...
Hi Dr_Jones, Yes, the article is pretty harsh. The journalist is usually either very pro- or anti- in his reviews. It also seems that he doesn't like Jarre personally. (Some of the comments below the article actually question the value of this article that looks more like a personal attack.) But hey...
