How about providing some actual counterarguments instead of just attacking him personally? I listened to his review and he makes some very valid points.

Not for me. I think they must have stopped doing that.
You get 3 months free Amazon music with every CD purchase now.
I had a new release last week off Amazon and that came with a Autorip.

I've got to say that I'm actually quite surprised how much I actually like this album (Movement 10 might be my definite favorite track at the moment*).

(* = Even dethroning Paris Bourges from my #1 post-2000 Jarre track spot... would still love a lossless (studio) version of the Bourges EP, though)

To do that then one has to be a reviewer. I am not a reviewer. I listened to his review and I disagree.

Plus I can't be ar$ed to explain to others the reasoning behind my opinion.

And that somehow justifies attacking him personally. Ok.

I've listen trough the Equinoxe Infinity now and I'll put it very simple.
This is the most interesting album since Waiting For Costeau.
It's like the "real" 1980's Jean Michel Jarre suddenly woke up with some new toys to play with.
This album is a freaking master piece! :D

I've recorded vinyl WAV-files (side A & side B) through Audacity, picked up from Pro-Ject "Tube Box" phono pre-amp RCA's into the PC if anyone is interested...
(not sure how to share it other then with some OneDrive links)

I think we can agree there's nothing new under the sun in Electronic Music.
JmJ said recently everything has been done in Electronic Music.

Then how does an Electronic Music album stand out these days.

Composition ? Emotion ? Vibe ? Brilliance ? Cleverness ?


Natural ability JmJ synthesis always been weaving sounds in and out, "cooking" with synthesis ingredients..
This natural synthesis Cleverness, Brilliance Equinoxe Infinity has in abundance.

Along with some gorgeous passages of composition in every track.
So gorgeous I said Oh my Goodness.



Stephane Gervais must take credit for some of the sound design.
I'm glad JmJ wrote in sleeve notes To Stephane for his precious collaboration.


:::::

Having said this, there are things would improved Equinfinity.
I shall forward these suggestions.

RemarkableRadio wrote:Movement 10 - Equinoxe Infinity has a lot of similarities with The Orb's A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That From The Centre Of The Ultraworld.
The Orb's most brilliant track, Ive listened to it perhaps hundred times
inspired from Love on a Real Train Tangerine Dream admitted copied Steve Reich Music for 18 Musicians

We should be specific in this 7min32

2min21 : just 8notes of orbs huge ever growing pulsating brain sequence is played with last two notes reversed
3min15 : sequence starts faing out
3min55 : sequence "gone"
4min17 : sequence reintroduced weaving in out
4min40 : sequence "gone"
4min50 : sequence introduced again then buried
5min10 : sequence "gone"
5min47 : sequence returns weaving in out till 6min15.

That's it just 8notes. There's No other resemblance.

Take out these 8notes : then no one says anything about the orb.

Unnecessary to bring this sequence.

Detracts from a Brilliant track.


I would advised JmJ to Bin this pointless 8note sequence.


Why then did JmJ bring this 8note sequence?
# Was it the title huge ever growing brain ruling from centre of ultraworld has a resemblance to the watchers ?

Who knows

Jean-Michel Jarre, a life dedicated to 'cosmic' music: "Humans are very arrogant to place us at the center of the universe"

Jean-Michel Jarre leads a life dedicated to music. A cosmic music that transports us beyond our known 'universe'. The composer has sold 80 million albums in his career and has just released 'Equinoxe Infinity', a sequel to his second studio album that went on sale 40 years ago. The vigilantes, some stone totems, have a fundamental role in this work and Iker Jiménez has been able to speak with Jean-Michel Jarre exclusively for 'Milenio Live'. From his own home, the French musician reflects on the past, the present and the future and shares with Iker his deep impressions.

Jean-Michel Jarre released the continuation of the legendary album "Equinoxe"

The French musician decided to record an album inspired by technological progress. How does Jean-Michel Jarre's Equinoxe Infinity look like?

“At a time when vinyl is coming back for good, the cover is again gaining importance and attention. The "Equinoxe" cover has always been one of my favorites. Do these strange characters watch us? They look into space? They watch machines or natural phenomena? We do not know that. They are not scary, but they are strange and mysterious. We used the original "Watchmen" theme on the cover again to continue this story.“
