You just had to ask! Robots don't cry and Herbalizer seamlessly blended together by that Alone Together intro.

This is not "seamless". This is just one track ending and another one beginning. Equinoxe 5-6-7 is seamless (he could easily bridge Equinoxe 5 and 7 in a concert setting). Exit-Equinoxe 7-Conquistador on Electronica were also done more or less seamlessly. Or Oxygene 8 + ZG (even though ZG is slightly slower than O8)

Anyway, looks like the shortening of RV4 wasn't just for Helsinki due to time constraints. It's clearly "let's get this s**t over with ASAP" ;>

The visuals for Brutalism are simply amazing.

I absolutely love the idea of the those single laser beams "cutting though the wall" and also getting refracted towards the audience, just like from a prism. Creative and memorable.

I like this "let's enjoy the show" glitch before RV4.

What was that RV4 intro all about? Is that JMJ doing JFK?

It's funny

Agree. I think the visuals throughout are excellent, but for that track they are next level.

This counts for both Jarre and Granger in regards to that bloody edit still being used this way.


I know it's a done deal now nearly a decade later and I'm screaming into the void and I'm sorry for doing so, but it seriously ticks me off that this edit, which is meant as a parody of the audience, a criticism of how so many watch these shows, is being used with a full straight face and not once has there ever been a heads up/shout out about it in any form...

Can't say much about the music, I'm going to let myself be surprised when I'm there in Brussels though! :p

Of course live Oxygene has it's huge charms for me too. But they just played terrible in Budapest and even FOH was so bad at times.

Have you tried writing to Aero prod? Couldn't hurt.

Yeah, back in '16 when it initially happened, but all I received is a deafening silence.

The projected image used at the end of the main show but before the encore.... the Michel Granger Equinoxe artwork, cleverly manipulated to show "the watchers" all looking through smart phones.
