Today on Jensenwatch: I haven't been able to recognize the tracks in his latest releases, but he has this single called "Paradise Destination" which keeps on disappearing from Spotify and other services (Amazon/Apple Music etc.) every now and then. While a googled Spotify result still show...

Structures Sonores Lasry-Baschet - Manège



Slight "JMJ connection" due to the Cristal Baschet factor

Apparently the same guy has made a counterfeit version of the original 1997 Oxygene 7-13 LP https://www.ebay.com/itm/175225984346 Somewhere in-between a direct bootleg replica of an official release (the Oxygene 7-13 LP) and a fan-made release of stuff that JMJ won't re-release himself (i.e. all th...

I think the sample is in the in-game video from the original software, might have to check archive.org at some point if they've got a copy

Watching some old LGR videos, I stumbled upon one about a bizarre game called "Ninja Nanny". In the game (and as seen in the YT video), there is an in-game video of stock footage with car horn sounds in the background: https://youtu.be/xSxaUHT3yoI?t=355 But as soon as I heard that bit, I t...

So great - really loving the live sound of the drums (also IMO the best-sounding backing bassline of Equinoxe 4) in these videos

I bought this album on vinyl (I do have the original pressing as well) but I'm extremely disappointed. Mainly because 2 tracks just skip, sounds like the digital files weren't put to the master correctly or something like that. I have never heard this on an album before and I have read more complai...

Always a fan of hearing Per Kristian Risvik's MFS 1 cover, but a shame that the bootleg book guy has earned money off of it : \

Nice remix - I prefer it to the Brian Eno one

(And even if it's kind of light on similarities with the original track, at least it's far more of a remix of it than any of the PSB - Liberation ones are of, well, PSB's Liberation )

You mean "right". The delayed strings are (correctly) on the right from 1997 onward. Whoops, yeah, that's what I meant :wink: Not that this has anything to do with Equinoxe Infinity, but I also remember someone saying that the channels were also swapped in the 1997 remaster of Chronologie...

Oh yeah, MFSL (Mobile FIdelity Sound Lab) is a company known for their audiophile releases, some of them quite highly regarded and going for insane prices (https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=MFSL+jarre&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=MFSL&...

I listened to the 1997 CD version of Equinoxe from 2003 (when I got back into JMJ's music) to 2007, when I got the MFSL LP - and listening to its mix of Equinoxe 4 for the first time, I thought "hmm, now there's an ever-so-slight delay in the Eminent strings when the keys were pressed, I wonder...

I wonder if the sound quality in our main bootleg guy's simultaneous release is any better https://www.ebay.ie/itm/175507477062

I just heard what you mean, it's quite obvious indeed... Here's the 1989 version: cic1989.mp3 And here the new master: cic2022.mp3 It' sounds like there's too much compression on it. And here's the 2014 master which is much less compressed but has a brickwall master: cic2014.mp3 Yeah, I'll take the...

A Dadwater remaster with a new poster sounds like the worst Record Store exclusive edition one could get

(For that price, at any rate)
