10 minutes of the same stuff with a miniscule plug for the latest tour at the end...

Maybe other medias will ask more about his tour...

So you are saying that these women did not ask the right questions e.g. what tracks are you playing, we want names of the titles now, or you are not leaving this studio.

Yes something more along those lines as to what we can expect about newer project(after all this is what he's appearing for really) and what I'm saying is,doing an interview where its obvious they simply didn't read a text brief on his career Highlights in a pre show meeting,I would suspect they all know who he is,but very little about him other than a quick read up prior to interviewing him like most of the same interviews he answers the same stuff.
I think Lynda Bellingham perhaps asked the most sincere and non samey Question about how he creates the Music and approach to creating and mixing,although it came across as she wasn't quite sure about the process,its more the non typical questions that seem to focus on things he done concert wise or "15 million copies of Oxygene" its almost as if no-one realised he'd done over another 10+ studio albums since then

Personally I think they all had a little hard time trying to decipher what he was saying in some cases,unless your used to hearing his accent or familair with his voice,its very hard to understand what he says,You can tell by their expressions!!!

Again...especially the lady in purple.

Well, I didn't expect much more from a "housewife show".

Oxygene 4 for sure, Oxygene 2
Equinoxe 4, 5 and 7
Magnetic fields 2
Ethnicolor(?)
Rendez-vous 2 and 4
Calypso 1
Industrial revolution and revolution, revolutions

anything else?

Great choice

hopefully Zoolookologie and Chronologie 4 too

but I guess the normal Oxygene 7-13 stuff and Souvenir of China that gets played at every show will feature in the setlist as a nice suprirse!

You really do need to get out more

I got scared at the first time I heard "revolution", because the megaphone was so loud, (in the 1997 tour), but still, good times..

Last time JMJ was on UK television, I was out. I was travelling to London to see him in RAH.

Thanxs for the warning, JP.

Don’t forget JMJ will on BBC 6 Music (02/04/2009):

Shaun serves up the musical equivalent of a full English breakfast to shift your day into fourth gear, plus he chats to Jean Michel Jarre and Richard Curtis.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00jj4s1

If you miss it, the show will be repeated: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072l9k

I did post this info a couple pages on this thread but thought another reminder was needed after the excitement of yesterday.

Thanks for the info, hopefully someone grabs that too, that we, who can't hear that, could hear it.

You're welcome Kanta, but if you don't know, if the song on the tracklist, it will scare.

JMJ's BBC 6 Music teaser interview around about: 1:37 (speaks about his father):

BBC iPlayer doesn't work for people outside UK, is there any other way to listen it ?

I'm going to try grabbing it. If it works i'll post it up somewhere.

Many thanks

I have posted a link here, about what JMJ speaks about as it is also to do with his father.

Hungarian article for the tour.
English translation.

that TV interview must have been recorded at least 3 days ago
