New track on Spotify - "Tell Me the Truth!" by Simon Jensen and JMJ. Oxy4 as EDM with some vocals. Quite cathcy and in the vein of "Welcome to the Other Side". Is it legit? I suppose so. Is it an indication of the next project? I don't know.

Interesting. Sounds like an old fashioned cover version with lyrics. JMJ being credited as one of the artists makes it seem like JMJ was involved, doesn't it?

Yeah, that seems likely. The track is also on Youtube, I noticed.

Might just be a remix, authorized, or not.

In what capacity?

Or maybe just something to grab attention. If it wasn't for the name "Jarre" we likely wouldn't be talking about this track.

"Teo and Tea in Copenhagen"? Could this be a fully JMJ inspired album after Tell Me The Truth?

Seems to be quite spot on. "If We Had the Time" is a cover of "If..!". Track # 2 of "Fourth Rendez-Vous".

I Wanna Talk to You is also a lyric from If..!

"If we had the time" sounds like a mashup of Equinoxe 5 and If, "Okay, Mr" is a cover of Infinity Movement 6, "The dream" is a cover of the HSBC theme, "Mr Max "is a cover of Automatic part 2, "Teo and Tea in Copenhagen" is you guessed it, a cover of Teo and Tea.

Here's the full album:

That's actually quite a fun album.

Simon Jensen did another album last year called "Love"
On it is a remix of Palawan the last refuge, I have a recording of this from 2010 and I am sure it was a fan made remix


And "The Voyage", which to me sounds like a staight recording from JMJ's Vizitors concert, I just compared both versions and they are identical.


There is not a lot of info about Simon Jensen, I wonder if JMJ knows about this ?
Surely you would need permission to do a cover of someone's track and give it your own name, let alone just use a recording of someone else's live performance & claim it as your work.

Bizarre. Especially that Vizitors track. That's illegal.

It's not just me is it, that Vizitors track is identical, minus the Arthur C Clarke intro.
I am sure that remix of Palawan was done by someone on here or one of the Facebook groups.
