Re: Some JMJ's photos

Man, the Equinoxe jumper worn by the staff member on the left side of this picture looks pretty good - I don't think I've seen that version of the art where the Equinoxe guy is in front of the Equinoxe audience members

Re: Jarre on Ebay....Post your Links....

Looking at some completed auctions - is the PLD-adjacent CD single of Calypso 2 really this rare nowadays? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/235035627545

Sure, prices have gone up in the past few years, but I could have sworn this was like 10 € purchase back in 2007 or so ;)

Re: Globetrotter

I think it's a shame that there wasn't a major album between WFC and Chronologie, because it would have been great to have more tracks in the vein of the early-1990s sound of Globetrotter and Palawan. ;) (Also, I could have sworn that the 1997 remaster's booklet stated that Globetrotter was made for...

Re: Jean Michel Jarre - Official Instagram

A mixed performance (still a fan of Paris Underground and the instrumental performance of Together Now), but in hindsight it still was the last of the megaconcerts so that's something ;)

Re: Roland JD-08 Boutique Rimbert's presets

Also to note: the Rimbert banks also include some JD-800 factory presets as well - Fusion Solo, Iceman, Aurora Borealis for example.

Re: Roland JD-08 Boutique Rimbert's presets

It reminds me of the Keyboards magazine Roland D-50 JMJ/Rimbert patches ("full strings", "hq bass" or something like that) and how I couldn't really place them on any JMJ tracks of the time (whether WFC, Revolutions or PLD). Maybe one of them was used for the string lead of Equin...

Re: Roland JD-08 Boutique Rimbert's presets

I should mess around with those presets a bit more, but indeed there are many presets that are named something JMJ related (Oct Strings JMJ for example, which I can't really recognize as such from any JMJ track). A lot of them indicate that they've been used in Fishing Junks at Sunset (likely the Ho...

Re: Jean Michel Jarre - Official Website Updates

Looking at the PLD page, man, there should have been (and there should be) more footage from this angle :shock:

Sheesh, not to mention that if something is still sealed, it doesn't mean it's still intact and in perfect condition inside :P Incidentally, I recently got one of those new Audio-Technica Sound Burger turntables and played through my O7-13 record and the skip that my copy used to have in Oxygene 8, ...

Re: Les Granges Brûlées re-release on vinyl , september 2023

I wasn't too convinced by Bandcamp already back in 2013-2016 when I had my album uploaded there, out of all the categories (Electronic, Noise, Instrumental if I remember correctly) the only category the album actually appeared in was "Finland" which I hadn't even put as a tag myself but wa...

Re: Mike Oldfield

Man, you can sort of hear the music going all "this is the last part of the very last Mike Oldfield track ever" at 6:55 of the full TB4 Intro! Admittedly I haven't listened too much of his music outside Tubular Bells, but I still prefer Tubular Bells II to the original (and I find myself l...

Re: Vangelis LATEST NEWS

A new 2 LP remaster of Direct (incidentally one of my top favorite Vangelis albums) has been released:
https://www.discogs.com/release/2707543 ... lis-Direct

Seems to be in the same series as the 2020 Spiral remaster which was pretty good.

Re: Where to find Place de La Concerde Betamax ???

Well, there we go ;) So yeah, if anything, the Betamax version of the concert might have some slight differences at certain parts, but nothing overwhelmingly better than the VHS versions. Or maybe, who knows, the Betamax version is a completely different edit that's not available on YT or anywhere (...
