could someone clear up something for me if its not to much trouble.

is it true that jmj is working on a tour for 2009?
if so will it probably be a continuation of oxygene world tour or something completely new

it would be soooo to have another EIC-style tour again with old school instruments

I don't think anybody can say that for certain. Personally I doubt it considering that JMJ is busy with the Oxygene Tour. I suppose we would have to see a new album before any new Tour.
Don't put your expectations too high. Let's see what happens after second part of the Oxygene Tour.

"I´ll tell you myth from the analog age" - JMJ starts short interview in the czech newspapers.

Article mentions his upcoming concert in Prague and his collection od analog synthesisers. JMJ as usually explains beauty of these instruments and points out they were made of unique material used only by army at that time. And they called him "Antiquarian" under photo

"unique material"?

Had JMJ overdossed on Prozak before doing the interview

(my Andromeda A6 is made from old discarded angel wings, delivered by swans and shaped by fairies who live at the bottom of my garden)

You indeed have very special instrument but I´m afraid he didn´t say exactly unique, that was just my bad translation. It was ment the instruments are not that fragile as they are considered to be and they are made od very substantial material.

Thanxs very muchly Zuzua, for the scan of the newspaper article.

Electronic Music Pioneeer Jean-Michel Jarre to Perform in Romania’s Capital

World-famous musician Jean-Michel Jarre, known as a pioneer in the electronic, synthpop and New Age genres, will hold a concert in Bucharest on November 10.

The performance, according to the Romanian on-line media ziare.com, is included in the second part of Jarre’s closed-doors tour – the first of its kind in the performer’s career.

The first part of the tour, the publication noted, took place this spring in several Western European cities, although BalkanTravellers.com found no information on the upcoming Bucharest stop on Jarre’s official website.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the release of the Jarre’s album Oxygene, the musician will perform in Bucherest’s Sala Polivalentă Hall. Assisted by three other musicians, Jean-Michel Jarre will use vintage synthesisers in his performance.

Hey - snap - that is some refreshing news. not.

[Kanta]

Yep, it's very good there is some publicity for the Oxygene Tour Stage 2. Just making fans aware of that. Might not be new but it's publicity.

[GeeJee]

Sure. Whatever floats your fridge.

[Kanta]

Okay, but JMJ is not floating in my fridge.

[GeeJee]

What makes you think I said so?

[Kanta]

Hmm, must have been wishful thinking on my part.

[GeeJee]

I would want him bloody hot if I were you, not stone-cold. Then again, tastes differ.

[Kanta]

If I find him cold, I will warm him up.

[GeeJee]

I'm sure you will. Can we now return ontopic please, or shall I send the bill?

[Kanta]

The bill for the fridge.

Okay, I return ontopic.
