Hi Robert. The issue had been detected and Aero is trying to find another tape to do the remaster. I can't tell you more because as I explained you before it had been difficult to work with the previous tape... So thanks for the information. Jean Michel and I are waiting to check other tapes to redo the full album to fix the issue.
So they new about the tape, it's deterioration yet they STILL released it. Talk about making mugs out of the fans. Sorry, but that is not on as that's taking advantage of people.

They just can't stop beating the old horse can they? What is so terribly wrong with the old masters/remasters whatever..? Compressed distortions ftw! and a waste of valuable time imo. It's the year 2015 and they tossing out cheap CD soap to fans with the same old music though with the sound in worse shape than ever before. I can't get my head around this.

So they possibly have a messed up tape and they just go with it? What the?
Just delay this one than!

I'm confident that organizing an infiltration mission to the Europe 2 archives to retrieve the original full unedited recordings of Paris La Defense would be far more worthwhile and less dangerous than getting new proper remasters.

To get back to the Zoolook remaster, did you notice they even messed up the sticker of the "30th anniversary edition"? It reads "from the original analog tapes". The original CDs indicate DDD... WTF? Unless they transferred the DATs to analog tapes before remastering to add "warmth", of course
But then that wouldn't be the original tapes either. Sad releases, really.

Heh, good point.

They have pulled RV from iTunes. I noticed that it had gone on the 24th. I also read this morning that Spotify have removed it also.

Same thing was on Hull's remaster: from the original alalog recordings.

Did they fix the extra beat in the beginning of Rendezvous IV? That's been bugging me for years.
EDIT: It's fixed. Now we wait for a fix for R2.

The first Rendez-Vous remastered album 2015 will be a collectors item, now.

Yeah, this issue will be funny till JARRE releases his new album...
Something about "Zoolook" 2015 remaster. If you check "Ethnicolor" just in the transition between the 2 different parts of the track you will notice that it's a few seconds longer than the 1984's original one, but exact to the 1997's SCOTT HULL remaster. Hear it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/273 ... s_2015.mp3
So, what about "new mastering from the analog tapes"? It's clear that JARRE and PERREAU have used the 1997's remaster, not the 1984 or 1985 master.
And, YES: The "Rendez-Vous" remaster CD is being deleted from stores.

Yes, I've addressed that problem a few pages ago.

I find it weird that so many slip ups managed to slip through the cracks with these releases. Even outside the awful remastering, so many weird errors that I don't really understand. Especially the Rendez-Vous remaster, and no doubt I'm going to be buying this for the screw up. Surely some store here in The Netherlands sell it...
