It was hilarious. I loved it for what it was. It was chaotic, messy, technical difficulties (audio dropouts, metronome clicking). There was a Milk carbon shooting milk over people, a pepper, a character from FF7, a cute rabbit dancing in front of JMJ.
Yeah, this is VR, still in its infant shoes, clumsily and all. And still, I enjoyed it.

3 new tracks, including the Azimuth track. Nice. An edited version of Exit.

Yeah, it's obvious that this was a case of them not being entirely sure how this would run and they just rolled with the punches. All the more respect they went for it regardless! I'm going to try and fix some of the issues regarding the audio, the metronome click should be easy enough to fix.

Honestly, this went past any expectation I had for it. Three (technically two I guess, but you know) brand new tracks was completely unexpected and I'm super happy we got this!

Even his arguably worst (Destination Docklands) was still great, despite the many, many, many, many short comings it had. Though in their defense, they couldn't control any of it, but still...

Yep

Can we all agree that adding that very subtle choir over Stardust improves the track immensely?
It sounds so bloody good!

Just good to hear any of it. Loved the new track(s) too.

Nuit Electronique (1998, Paris) comes to mind.

So can someone help me out with the tracklist:

01 - Azimuth
02 - The Architect
03 - ? (I've heard this one before, but can't find where)
04 - New Track 1
05 - Oxygene 19
06 - Zero Gravity (Above and Beyond Remix)
07 - Exit
08 - New Track 2
09 - Stardust

I honestly quite like this one, but would throw this more on the fact it's such a different project altogether.

I think New Track 2 is called Alone Together, if I go by the picture 1906 poster earlier today. That has the whole tracklist except for track 1.

Some corrections:

01 - New Track 1
02 - The Architect
03 - Herbalizer
04 - Azimuth
05 - Oxygene 19
06 - Zero Gravity (Abonve and Beyond Remix)
07 - Exit (Edit)
08 - New Track 2
09 - Stardust

Herbalizer, that was the one! And thanks for correcting Azimuth, I could've sworn it was the first one. Oh well, mistakes happen

By the way: bold choice to play only songs from 2015 and later at this set!

Oddly enough the dress rehearsal didn't have those problems. Sure, there were occasional audio dropouts, but not of such magnitude and obviously there was no metronome.

Pity they ditched the Zoom screen with audience (it can be seen during rehearsals)



I mean Zoom became a de-facto symbol of the lockdown/confinement. It was a clever idea playing nicely into the theme.

P.S. I can imagine Rimbert sitting in an armchair with a glass of wine and laughing his ass off in French :>

What happened between the two anyway? So odd that after such a long partnership they'd be like this.
