Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

I can't see the harm; it's not like they are losing money as there are no official releases that are still worth mentioning.

On that subject, I once found some camcorder footage on YouTube of the docklands concert filmed from canning town rec, this has gone, does anybody know if it is still online ...

Mr Martian (or may I call you Flip?)

You have made my day (if not my Christmas) with this Docklands upload.

It didn't sound that good on the night - I know, as I was one of those voices you can hear cheering - I may also have been the one that made the radio recording we've all been listening ...

As I wrote in another post... new streaming version on Tidal for ZOOLOOK 40th anniversary edition...


Yes, they seem to have cleaned up Ethnicolor. At least those most obvious glitches seem to be gone. I'm not hearing the clicks either.

But yeah, an apology would be in order...

EDIT: ok ...

This should do it, I have set it to viewer, so I think that allows downloads. If not, let me know I will change it.


Apologies, the revolutions remaster that I added to the drive was a complete load of toss. It ...

Thank you very much for sharing this.
I understand the process of doing your own ...

I like them, they sound very organic. Hiss and everything.

Ok, so just to make sure: there "2011" files that you uploaded are NOT your remasters, but the 96/24 transcripts, correct?

Yes.

After zoolook, high quality analogue recording became a bit of a moot point as far as jarre went as most of what he was doing was in the digital realm, D50s, fairlights ...

What does "96/24 transcripts" mean?

I have just compared the 40th edition to my remaster and this is the result. They are seriously taking the piss.

And why not just stick to the original then...? Genuinely asking: what was the idea behind your remaster?

Have a gander at this if you like, I remastered zoolook a few years ago using reason and this is what I came up with.

It is from the West German original release, and I have kept it at 44/24, so as not introduce too ...

I have the 48/24 file from that release i think and it was reasonable

IIRC they ultimately fixed it, but there was like a tape speed fluctuation effect on it. There's a 31-page long thread about those remasters here. And here's a sneak peek (from 0:48)

I've never heard anything this bad

Then you must have missed the Rendez-Vous remaster from 2014 (IIRC) :)


I have the 48/24 file from that release i think and it was reasonable, considering that they magically made a 48/24 from a 44/16 master. but there it is.

I didnt hear any glitches like ...

Who on earth passed this through quality control!?!?! It is seriously FUBAR. It's just not sellable, give it away, maybe.

I've never heard anything this bad, I don't know if they can airbrush out the glitches, or if it is too far gone for the DAT master.

The mastering is actually quite good ...

Been through it on audacity. Its bullet tight. Any discrepancies are something else at fault. Looking forward too seeing what they do with future remasters.
