Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

I cant help but think we will bet a release like the Gdansk one. I think we will get a truncated appearance of the royal couple, I think he will ditch a couple of tracks, But I don't think he'll drop RV2 because aside from the laser harp part it was awesome. I suspect we will get an audio edit for ...

Opinions people?

Who thinks that we WILL get an official DVD release of this show?

If your answer is yes, what do you think we will get, the concert in it's entirety or an edit?

If an edit, what edits do you suspect will be made?

My own perspective on the differing sound is purely about the synths being used.

Many of those beautiful old analogue synths are a nightmare to use in a live environment. With oscillators very sensitive to temperature change, humidity and other external factors. It can often be very difficult to ...

Just watched "Milk", the biopic starring Sean Penn. A performance that was very deserving of his Academy Awards win.

And also just finished watching "Tales of the Black Freighter" and "Under The Hood" from the Watchmen companion release.

Aside from the Cousteau video, and the rarities albums...I reckon the original masters are sitting in a box in a vault.

How about we get a bunch of us together and plan a heist where we steal the originals?

Ironically, considering the music was used for a Cousteau video, then we could do our own ...

Wow....Breaking News!!!! Hold the front pages!!!! Shock Horror, I was never aware of that until this very minute!!!!!

That's because Mr Jobs wanted to take over the world!!!! lol

Nice to see a Mac fanboy bemoaning Apple DRM policies, a funny thing since Steve Jobs claims to be against them. I mean it's not like he can't do anything about it. lol But DRM is another discussion for another thread.

(and before anyone ...

I'm going to run the risk of playing devils advocate here a little, and probably get slaughtered by you all in the process. lol

You can understand why FD wants to keep that back catalogue rotating and resurfacing.

At the end of the day you have FDM, this little french Jazz label, that suddenly ...

I strongly suspect there is still an interested audience for Jean Michel in France. I also suspect that if there are something like ten dates announced on the 09/10 tour, then the sales for those dates will back up my suspicion. The fact that Michael tell us that Jean Michel is pretty much ignored ...

Great work Phil, although I hope we aren't going to have to set James Randi on you!!! lol

Michael wrote:In one word, I'd say he is ignored.
Except during the "Adjani" period...

This was something I had very much suspected, and also the main reason that JMJ has not performed a larger scale concert in his home country for a decade!

Hello everyone.

This is a question more directed to the French contingent of the forum, or fans of Jean Michel living in France.

How is Jean Michel received and represented in today's France and modern French media?

Is he still a beloved ambassador for France, or is he now viewed differently by ...

It's funny me reflecting upon the Radio 1 recording. I used to have it on four cassette tapes. I still feel for my poor Dad, having to abide by my vociferous demands in sitting by the stereo and not missing a second of the show as he recorded it for me whilst I bathed in that amazing atmosphere ...

I'd even considered resorting to reverse psychology, demanding he doesn't come anywhere near me and then he might just do the opposite. lol

It was so irritating when I left the UK in November 2007 just as he was preparing to return to my homeland....dammit!!!

Haha, of course it's only going to be what we think he could and should do...hell I have been saying what he could and should do for over twenty years now and he still hasn't listened. lmao
