I dropped a question about the track played before the Bridge from the Future concert, if this will get a release

I was thinking about this track just the other day, it def deserves a release

JMJ concedes there were indeed technical issues with the Zoolook 40th re-issue, it was a digital and analogue master mix-up he says, and gives his fans (the members of this forum, I guess) a grand "merci" for listing the precise timings of all the errors.

JMJ says that Bridge From The Future in Bratislava was his most successful outdoor event, from a technical point of view - he's comparing it to Concorde, La Defense etc as a one-off, free event.

JMJ says the rain in Paris during the Olympic closing ceremony was the worst - he got drenched - and had to change his clothes before the laser harp finale, and that Patrick Pelamourgues had to dry his VCS3 and Minimoog that were on stage with him with a hair-dryer straightaway afterwards

Shenzhen, China - JMJ's New Years Eve concert has been postponed from 2024 until 2025, I think he just said (?)

2026 will be the 50th anniversary of Oxygene and JMJ says he has various special things planned, but cannot say any more right now.

Ah... So as I expected, it's based on data scraped (stolen) off of the internet. Again, how is this technology ethical?!

Edit: Finally got an explanation why we never get (Atmos) remixes of old albums. They were never conceived for more than Stereo and Jarre doesn't feel like taking time out of his schedule for these mixes.
Disappointing he sees it like this, but I can actually understand the reasoning there.

[Richard-Eastham]

JMJ says he's more excited about creating something new, rather than spending a month recreating Oxygene or Equinoxe to make it suitable for a Dolby Atmos or a 360 degree sound experience, so he has no plans to update the old albums for this purpose.

Bridge From The Future, Bratislava is to be released in 2025 as a boxset, with both concert film and a music release. He's working with Brian May on this, as a shared project.

He probably won't let someone else do the atmos mix?

Ah! Now we're talking!

JMJ praises David Perreau. I will leave this here without comment.
