I always had this doubt, in the first version of the old LP of the album “Rendez Vous” released in 1986, it is credited on the track Rendez Vous 4, which François Kevorkian had mixed...but later, when the album was released on CD, and re-released remastered several times, the name that appears would be: recorded and mixed by Michel Geiss and Claude Ermelin!!!

ANOTHER VERSION - CD (1986)

So even if you track the original '86 LP, and its following versions...the sound is the same! Would it be a mistake??? Or is there a version of François Kevorkian that we don't know about, as he has worked on a Zoolookologie remix in the past?

I believe the difference is one extra (or less) breathing sound at the end of the song.

Yeah, I don't think there are any other differences. That being said... interestingly enough, on the "Rendez Vous Special Remix" single there is "RV 4 (original mix)", mixed by Geiss and Ermelin and... while it says "original" it's different compared to the album version (I spotted one tiny detail - a certain synth (syncopated single note synth brass) is NOT playing near the end of the track. EDIT: this synth is also not playing at that point in the "Special Remix")

Just wondering if the credit was a simple mistake and that Francois Kevorkian maybe worked on the song in some other way like he did on the original Revolutions track (which the original album version has FK credited for special effects but on my French 90s remaster CD he is not mentioned possibly because of the different version Revolution, Revolutions).
Well spotted about the difference in Rendez-Vous 4 album and original versions, never noticed that before.

A mistaken credit to Francois Kevorkian... still better than a correctly attributed credit to Dadwater :\
