I wouldn't mind hearing the original traditional Chinese melody of MF5, out of curiosity. Can anyone help, please? :roll:

Someone (sorry I don't remember who) in here once told about a visit at a Chinese restaurant where they played it.

Even though it's a traditional song, and the author is unknown, it's should have been mentioned. It's merely a cover version by Jarre. :roll:

The only thing controversial about the MF album is the dodgy reproductive cover from the 1997 re-issue. You know the one, with all those lines.
Jarre concerts attended - Destination Docklands 1988 - Paris La Defense 1990 - Europe In Concert 1993 (Manchester & London) - Oxygene Tour 1997 (Birmingham)

That's just due to the resizing from the LP cover I guess - not carefully done.

Well, it's really up to him. :fine: :p:

Having heard the traditional song, I much prefer JMJ's version. :cool2:
