It takes time to make a new album for any artist e.g. years and years. At least, the thought is there. That should be enough for any hardcore fan. Mind you, any respectable fan would just appreciate that he is doing something.

The oddest, most bizarre thing is the question a Spanish fan asked him, about the new album and he refused to answer it. Mind you, this was the end of last year.
And it's not about taking time to make a new album. There's a perfectly complete album lying around since 2002/2003 called "Expirimental 2001", a spiritual successor of "Sessions 2000". This album, recently shown by Francis Rimbert on his Facebook, has never been released and nothing has been done with it (probably, it might have evolved to the Bourges album or something like that, we don't know that). This, plus the two albums he's been working on with other artists and "his personal album", as he described it in an interview...

It was impudence that he don`t release an finished album ??? That`s not impudence, It's his decision, we have to respect him. There will be a reason, we don`t know about.
Wow can't believe this thread is 36 pages long. I'm gonna throw it out that when we get a mention of a new album it will be on Page 42. Get your guesses in. Let's make this thread a tad more interesting.

Jarrelook.de:
Naturally we asked Dominique also whether he now only pursue their own projects, or even collaborate with Jarre. Further cooperation, he is apparently not averse, but Jarre currently working on his new album, and if this is done, you'll see. The work on the album would last very long, as Jarre here with a lot of people working together and a lot of conversations and telephone calls were made??. In fact, already some time ago announced that Jarre would produce an album together with a number of French electro-musicians. Accordingly, these are apparently not a remix album, but actually is a studio album of new music produced Jarre in collaboration with other artists. Dominique estimated that up to completion still could pass three or four months and then it might be published in March just to match the planned concert in Perth.

A French article mentions one album is "far from complete".

These conversations may include record label agreements. You must also remind that Jarre and Vitalic have had an artistic/financial disagreement one year ago, the process of the collaboration album was slowed down for some reason.
We learned yesterday on French Tv that Jean Michel and Christophe will be releasing an album together in (hopefully) September 2013. Jean Michel may work on three albums right now, plus his business activities and aditionnal work for French music industry.
melo wrote:He said about the colaboration with Christophe in the past, 2007, during an interview by Paris match (to release in 2008/March).
Maybe they should have worked for real together back then, because Christophe got dumped from his recording compagny the following year…
A bit offtopic, aren't we ?
That`s not impudence, It's his decision, we have to respect him. There will be a reason, we don`t know about.
