Ok, so I have ordered the fan Box vol 1 last year, but has received nothing about the volume 2... If I understand well, I have to contact them to be able to order it, as there is no direct link to do that... am I right ?

Yes. Contact MyPlay with your original order number as the header, and they will send you the link. Some people got it automatically, most - like me - didn't ...

Now that I think about it. The Travelator EP, was anything actually said about that since the announcement of this album?

Not a word. It was supposed to be release as a standalone EP before Christmas. Instead, a very limited Remix II EP was released in some countries ....

Peaches, Pet Shop Boys, The Orb, Gary Numan, Cyndi Lauper confirmed for new Jean-Michel Jarre album - February 2016

Ambient and electronic music granddaddy Jean-Michel Jarre has confirmed the follow-up to 2015’s smash Electronica Vol 1: The Time Machine.

Electronica 2: The Heart of Noise will arrive May 6th and feature a marquee roster of guests including (but not limited to) Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan, Cyndi Lauper, Hans Zimmer, Peaches, Primal Scream and Julia Holter.

As with Vol 1 – which featured Erasure’s Vince Clarke, Armin van Buuren, Massive Attack’s Robert "3D" Del Naja and Pete Townshend among others – Jarre personally connected with each of his collaborators and travelled extensively to work together on the music.

The first and title track, "The Heart of Noise," is a tribute to Luigi Russolo, Italian composer and builder of experimental musical instruments, who proposed in 1913 in his Futurist manifesto ‘Art of Noises’ a number of conclusions about how electronics and other technology would allow futurist musicians to "substitute for the limited variety of timbres that the orchestra possesses today the infinite variety of timbres in noises, reproduced with appropriate mechanisms."

Russolo in essence predicted the dawn of the synthesiser and electronic music.

"I've wanted to tell a story for a while regarding electronic music history and its legacy from my point of view and experience, from when I started to nowadays," says Jarre in a release.

"So I planned to compose for and collaborate with an array of artists who are, directly or indirectly linked to this scene, with people I admire for their singular contribution to our genre, that represent a source of inspiration for me over the last four decades I have been making music, but who also have an instantly recognisable sound.”

Also of note, 2016 will see Jarre’s return to the stage, with festival performances confirmed so far at Sónar and Melt this summer, followed by an international arena tour commencing in Europe this autumn.

Track Story with Rone

Excellent.

But to clarify: Part one is with Rone (which we all know).
But Part two is solo? or with Rone also?

[The Sound-Oven]

It looks like Part 2 is a solo JMJ track (accordingly to the advertised track list as of 25 Feb 16), and also Falling Down and Heart of Noise (Origins)



it's great to get a few solo JMJ tracks, as there were no solo tracks on Time Machine
