Well ok we all know its simply a rerecording,If you listen to the album that intimately for years you can tell because of the way it was recorded in the first instance.....Thats only simple speculation..Those of us who record,will have an incline of why its a remaster rather than a real rerecording because of production techniques and Analog synth flaws of the time
But....Personally I don't see how Dreyfus can prove it and win.
There are Minor differences in tracks,which Jarre obviously did certain edits and played around with the Mixing aspect to make it look rerecorded,its kind of like leaving clues for a crime but sending off the trail slightly,which would make the evidence sort of flawed in prosecution,it may be obvious why its done,but its also not easy to prove he did that deliberatly.
How the fook can dreyfus prove otherwise,other than by speculation like the rest of us!!
Even if he has a team of music specialists,there is editing differences,and Jarre recorded it digitally into Protools,so even if it was ripped from the master Tapes,theres no way to prove where the source came from,either from an actual synthesizer in the case of a rerecording or the master tapes if its not.....
its not like they can rip apart an Analog tape strip to see how many layers have been recorded onto it
...
Dreyfus is clearly pissed about the monies for the MOS deal,but in the same respect,it would have been far more diplomatic and respectful for Jarre to approach dreyfus,if he had Publishing issues to say Ok ,I want to do this with Oxygene,can we work together if only for the preservation of the recording,in a 50/50 deal,after all he gave Jarre a real footing,there maybe too many bridges burnt but it looks very unprofessional,and whilst I Couldn't give a Fook about it,Many fans will have lost respect for Jarre,to what may appear as a huge amount of disrespect by trying to deceive people about this new recording.
