One of the better

there's a book by Zé do Rock called "Fom Winde ferweht" where they talk about JMJ's music being played in the radio while they're driving in their car.....

Daniel Hunt from Ladytron mentions Jarre :

Extract :

What bands would you say most inspired you to make music, and who do you think had the biggest influence on Ladytron's sound?

Personally I can't remember, I suppose when I was a kid I was into Duran Duran and stuff like that, I got introduced to American electro like Mantronix, Newcleus, and Jonzun Crew through my older brother when I was about 10 years old. That was a massive influence, and I still listen to that stuff today, it has far greater mystique for me than english groups from that period.
Liverpool groups had some influence, Teardrop Explodes, Frankie goes to Hollywood....later on in school I was into Jean Michel Jarre when the other kids were in their soft-metal phases....but I don't think any of these things made me WANT to make music, I think I just did anyway. I can't speak for the others obviously.

There is a song written by a french band not very famous called Oldelaf et Monsieur D. The song is called "Jean Michel Jarre" : here are the lyrics :

Eh Pepito ! Faut que je te présente un artiste,
Faut que je te parle de mon héros, je le connais depuis qu'il existe,
C'est une vraie star, c'est mon chanteur préféré,
Il s'appelle Jean-Michel Jarre et en plus, il est bien coiffé.

Alors bien sûr,les années de gloire sont loin,
Ses spectacles à la mesure de ce qu'il reste de ses moyens.
Il a les manches, elles sont vaches avec Jean-Mi .
Le Jean-Mi c'est pas un branque sauf peut-être au concert d'aujourd'hui.

"Merci Pékin"
"Allez Jean-Mi !"

C'est un géant,j'ai acheté tous les albums
Qu'il a fait depuis un an.J'admire vraiment trop cet homme,
Quel phénomène! Musicien et scientifique,
Car lui ,voit l'oxygène ainsi que les champs magnétiques !

Mais c'est trop con,son producteur l'a viré.
Il a dit: "Je garde le pognon et je te laisse les synthés".
Alors Jean-Mi il était super déçu.
Il a dit: "Bon, bah, tant pis, par principe je continue".

"Merci à la salle polyvalente de Carbone-La-Forêt"
"Ouais, super Jean-mi, ouais…"

Depuis ce jour, Jean-Mi il joue dans les bars,
Les kermesses et les Carrefour et il continue d'y croire.
Pour rester beau, il a mis une veste mauve.
Lui qui était mégalo, il est devenu méga pauvre

Mais il se bat. Tant qu'il y a de l'espoir, il y a de la vie
Et tu dois avoir la foi, quand ton nom c'est "JMJ".
Mais là, ça y est, il a un nouveau spectacle,
Nouveau light, nouveaux synthés, Jean-Mi, arrête, c'est la débâcle…

"Merci à Fifi !"
"C'est mon chien…Allez, il faut partir Jean-Mi…"
"Oxygénation 28 , c'est mon dernier album"
"Ouais, c'est le dernier …"
