I'll copy my review from old Jarre.net forum:
Je Me Souviens - 6.5/10 - Sounds somewhat oppressively bright (don't ask) to me, I really prefer Aero to this.
C'Est La Vie - 8/10 - Heh, I used to hate this. Now it's quite cool, except it sounds like it's going to start pretty much all the time, no really memorable merry melodies (like Chronologie / Oxygene 4), still coo.
Rendez-Vous A Paris - 7/10 - Has that odd feeling Je Me Souviens has, but still sounds much better in my opinion.
Hey Gagarin - 7/10 - Nice, but not my favorite.
Millions of Stars - 8.5/10 - Sounds like Oxygene part 14 to me, and has really awesome mood.
Tout Est Bleu - 4/10 - Yuck! The effect at the beginning is nice, the rest is like swallowing french men acids. 'Light My Sky' sounds better (even though the lyrics are quite horrible Razz)
Love Love Love - 7/10 - Has that odd feeling Je Me Souviens has, but still somewhat better. Not really memorable though.
Bells - 8/10 - The album version sounds cool (the bells sound somewhat ripoffs from other artist's song though), perhaps unmemorable to some, but certainly much more awesome than Aerology will ever be in my opinion. If this was the 12 DotS live version I'd give it 9/10... that was pure awesome.
Miss Moon - 8/10 - I haven't listened to this much, but it had eerie and funny atmosphere.
Give me a Sign - 7.5/10 - It's somewhat silly, but I still like it.
Gloria, lonely boy - 7/10 - Not bad, not my favorites, certainly better than the orchestral version (which sounds really affected to me)
Silhouette - 7/10 - Eerie, which makes it cool, but... not that great.

Overall: I tend to like this album more by time, too bad it is underappreciated.

I don't want to comment every single tracks of this album. I like most of the tracks of this album, and some tracks are not my cup of tea. This is an experimental album, also not comparable to his other albums, it is still different though.

It took me about one and a half year to finnally love this album, but it was worth ever little time I spent on it. shows that what you think you might get is not always what you really get.

I disliked it strongly at first, but it have growed on me now. A couple of great track inbetween, but overall, just good.

6/10
