I really like this album. I am hearing a mixture of old and new Jarre, those elements of his early years. After Electronica, it is refreshing to listen to Jarre going back to normal ground. I think one problem that some have with this album is that they have become use to the Electronica sounds and ...

We mostly all wanted a solo album from JMJ and it seems he is to deliver what we wanted. A very very nice surprise and even nicer surprise to end the year in Jarrestyle.

Love this Oxy17.

As much as this is fantastic news, this new album release could really get confusing.

"which Oxygene track do you like?"

"I like Oxygene 2"

"Oxygene 2 from the first album or Oxygene 2 from Oxygene 3 part 15?".

Falling Down, what is that noise that appears in the last second of the track. Is it studio noise? Its sounds almost if there by purpose.

If anything at least JMJ gave us a laugh when he forgot what keyboard he was miming on during Oxy 8

They do over on their devoted groups/pages etc. But there is no call for it to be debated here on a JMJ group.

"ANNIE O MUSIC SERIES PRESENTS A CONVERSATION WITH JEAN MICHEL JARRE"

... does give it away to what it is..."CONVERSATION" being the focal point.

With the news that David Lynch was to guest with Jarre and making no appearence on the albums, I do wonder if the Christophe 'Walking the Mile' track was the intended Lynch track. That is an unmistakable Twin Peaks twang guitar going on in that track.

So... when Jarre gets to performing What You Want live on stage, is he going to start off with some twerking?

I really like the album except for one track, What You Want (I'm not a fan of Peaches, but Jarre hence why its there). If I were to swap that track out with another artist I would have gone for Kate Bush. As Jarre acknowledges Luigi Russolo's The Art of Noises (1913) it would have been a fitting tri...

... but he does appear to be subjected to critism.

they were never fully Jarre's albums because he had others supplying to the overall layout and sound of the album. People buy a car, a Volvo for example,but how much of that car is ALL Volvo? just certain parts. Yet it's sold as and labelled as a Volvo. Much like a Jarre album. It has his name on i...

A "proper" Jarre track or album would just be Jarre on his own with no assistance from anyone else, ala Deserted Palace for example. Fans may arc back to Oxygene, Equinoxe, Magnetic Fields, Rendez Vous, Revolutions, Chronologie, etc, etc, but they were never fully Jarre's albums because h...

I have this album on repeat play. I cannot get enough of it. I have not done that with a Jarre album for many years (as a new release). I know you've been quite outspoken in the past about how disgruntled you've been. I therefore hope that this album has restored your faith a little. I'm just on my...
