"For me, Jean-Michel Jarre is one of the founding fathers of electronic music. His music has always been sonically and musically creative, so when I first heard his music as a kid it was one of the main things that inspired me to want to make electronic music. Jarre also created the big show format for an electronic performer.

With the remix of “Zero Gravity", the idea was to draw on the early influences from Jarre’s music combined with ideas from the track itself and inject some Above & Beyond into the mix."

Jarre is doing good business.

I already spent 5 times the amount of a regular full length album.

But I don´t order this at this british seller. He is a bit suspect for me. No Impressum and he want to know "everything" about me and told only a litte about this company. Youl will know about the Price after registering and how to pay. That´s not fair. On the other hand he tell nothing about what he will done with my data (especially the Telefonnumber) and other questions about warranty. It´s to expensive to risk it.

I think I will buy a CD later or will buy a download by ITunes or Amazon.....I waited such a long time , so I can wait a little longer

Yes definitely the most interesting tracks so far.
I use my old mobile phone specially for situations like this. It has been kept activated and loaded with about 10€ for many many years with its only perpose to take care of telemarketers or other tricksters. Most of them are blocked away in the phone's "black list" memory.
Though I never call from that phone. I use a newer phone with an other number for private calls with people I know and trust.
It's always a risk buying stuff online.

"3D mix" on vinyl...very funny.

Did you receive a confirmation? I did from Paypal but not the store...

Nopes! Only from paypal.
I guess we will hear from them when the orders are ready to fly.

I pre-ordered the vinyls and now I better buy a record player. I received a confirmation and paid by credit card. The website is friendly to use and I have had no problems at all. You even get a telephone number if you wish to contact them.

I personally recommend just waiting a few days for someone to make a rip of the vinyls with some insane gear. That's what I do with quite a few albums. Random Acces Memories sounds absolutely terrific on that rip!

Those rips are nice. Doesnt even come close to putting the needle on the record on your own player, however. :]

I did not even have time enough to give the tracks a listen. About one minute of Zero Gravity, and I just jad to put my name on the preorder. JMJ and TD on the same track!! Just couldn't miss out on this one reading that this was some of the last tones of Froese, this one is very unique and special.
The massive attack stuff did not catch my attention yet. Im looking forward to the forthcoming album.

No confirmation here either. Only from paypal. Last time I ordered from them (about a year ago) I received a confirmation instantaneously from both paypal and VFE. And the shipping costs were a third of the amount they charge now.

The products they deliver are stunning. It's all heavy weight vinyl, strong cardboard covers and unique recordings.

The shippingcosts to my country was about £5. Thats less than what I would have to pay for sending it to my neighbour. The price is fair from that point of view. That was for one record only. I don't know how much it would be for all three.

Trust me, in my case they really REALLY do

We finally get track-expanding remixes on the single releases instead of those dull dance remixes (with the exception of Zero Gravity whose remix is utter crap). This makes me happy.

Same here.

Best tracks (so far) for me is Glory and then Conquistador. Zero gravity is less good.

I'm so glad to hear new tracks from JMJ since many years! Yeah - JMJ is back!

Oops, this is my first post since a short break of 4 years in the good old Zoolook-Forum...
