No new info anyway but an interesting testimony from Nicolas Godin of Air who clearly admires JMJ. Here is an approximative translation from G.
Nicolas Godin:.. "Jean-Michel Jarre, for us, is a pioneer of electronic music it is an inspiration When we participated in the movement of the French Touch in the 90s, there was some cleared the field from the start in this musical style. It is an electronic music made from fairly simple and beautiful melodies and sounds that sculpts itself and not at all of the sounds that exist through traditional instruments. including an incredible sound that is a particular synthesizer that was one of the first to popularize with very recognizable synth layers and then the idea of ​​creating its own public, its own music style without necessarily having to be attached to some something that previously existed, ie to create its own universe. Like all great artists, at the end of three seconds, it is recognized that this is the Jean-Michel Jarre. In fact, it's all these sounds then which were then never again left me in my career. It's things that are unforgettable: when he played the laser harp, it marked, it belonged right after the collective unconscious, or so his giant keyboard when he made the concert in Houston. What continues to mark me is incomprehensible pace. It still uses a kind of shuffle in its rhythmic which is something that I can not control absolutely not! It is really one of the features: you never understand how was the first time, how the pace is interwoven with the melodies and bass, that's something quite mysterious to me. It's kind of mode of writing that I respect and I admire. "(Boomerang, France Inter, 02/09/2015)
