I am very interested to see the posts where I am always wining"? (you can PM me the links if you wish). Did you not see the " :mrgreen: " emocon in my post. As for this post, it was not "wining" as you put it, but more so a joke, humour, making fun of, having a laugh at the expense of, poking fun at . . . . a plain, simple JOKE.
Must dash, I apparantly need to get a "life", if I can find the time (during working, researching, moving house, writting a book)

Its called observation Jon,...Not get a life,this is the difference between people who are interested in all aspects of life and take into account everything around them,and absorb life from watching and taking in everything not just the obvious,it helps forge a lighter and more humourous outlook on life.

its also called not taking life so seriously,and not seeing things in a one dimensional aspect,never questioning or seeing things in a more subjective or observant manner will almost certainly prove how bland some people are.
Jarre is human like all of us,he has flaws and habits like all of us,recognising these or gauging his pyschological movements,habits,speech imperfections helps us understand him more its not whining or picking at him.

Anyway...him saying "eeerr" more,means he's finally got rid of the "In a sense" phrase he seemed to use reguarly in most interviews!!either that or he's turning into an American,many of those over use the "Errr" phrase :nod:

Oh BTW,whilst your out getting a life,can you price me one up,I'll need one as well due to my rather odd observational attacks on Jarre's speech habits.Maybe you could buy them in Bulk and get a discount,that way we can keep a few in stock incase anyone else needs one later on :mrgreen:

I think he speaks rather well. Taking into account that he's in a bus with a camera thrust in front of his face, has to think of what to say and not forgetting English isn't his first language. His command of English has improved year after year - much better than my attempt at French and way better than the English translation of the new JMJ Biography :D :nod: :P

I am grateful JMJ speaks in English on his videos. Or else I would not have a clue what is going on. :punch: His English is perfect. 8)

I love the way he excuses the small tone or rythmic mistakes in his playing
to be just a deliberate trick to make it clear to the audience that it really is live, ha-ha. :nod: That's a good one. :bravo:

Yes... that's a clever move from M. Jarre.
My brother had the same conceptual problem with Theremin : he didn't think the audio matched Jarres' moves though I explained him again and again it was live playing... :punch:
