On a related note - has anyone got an MP3 version of the vinyl edit?

I've been looking for it for years on digital - I have all the bootleg extended edits, but the one thing I don't have is the edited version.

Hi

I should have the cassette version, which features the 22 edit. I could dig it up and rip the recording to MP3. send me a PM.

Is the edit not on YouTube?

Bootleg extended edits?????????

[Synner]

Yes, there are at least two extended versions - one just under an hour, and another nearly 90 minutes. There's links to them in this thread. They are both hacked together from the cd and vinyl versions.

The one thing I can't find anywhere is the shortened version from the LP / cassette version, which is a genuine Jean Michel Jarre track, edited by him for the original release, but never re-released.

If I'm not mistaken it's just the CD release that edits the beginning and part of the later part together. I think I have the vinyl rip somewhere on my PC.

The vinyl / cassette version is a proper bespoke edit. I uploaded a vinyl rip to the (dead) database here a few years back ...

I've got a FLAC rip, if needed.

[Synner]

FLAC is good.

I've noticed something else i've never really cared to share because it's most likely my imagination, but has anyone actually heard words or voices sampled in the track? Could be that I have a trained ear for detecting speeches , but I hear "Hello", "No solution, no solution" and "Programmniy/problemniy otchet" (which is russian for - Program report or error/problem report).

- you can check it at this link. There's "Hello" or some other word at 22:41, and the rest at 26:12. It repeats randomly here and there.

Don't take this seriously though. I might be hearing things.

Also I've got some flacs from Vinyl , never had the cassette version though.

I absolutely love this track. What a divine melody... but It's only 45 minutes
So It occured to me -what if there's a longer one?

So , can anyone shed some light on this and has anybody ever heard a version longer than 45-50 minutes?

Well, i've "made" (just mixed) Waiting for Cousteau for 3 hours? is that ok?

you can find it here: https://youtu.be/_1QTd4bxGUE

I hope you enjoy it, like i do

Sorry pal, it's not okay. The whole point of this thread is to find the original unedited mix of the track. Not copy/paste the same piece to make it last infinite hours.

No problem but do you really think it exists?

We've heard pieces here and there over the years that don't seem to appear on either the CD or vinyl release, so we know that there's at least something more to it than the 47 minute version. The question is, is that actually part of a longer version, possible alternate version or just part that was edited out for various reasons.

[Finaero]

Have these actually been 'released' regularly already or are people still being arses by keeping it for themself to look at them instead of actually, you know, listening to them?

The latter... Most of them has not been shared. The Gagarin remix and an unreleased Tout Est Bleu Phats & Small remix have been shared though.

Well, it doesn't surprise me that some people would hold on to stuff like that just because...

... but out of curiousity, do these hyper-exclusive rarities include anything nice from Paris La Defense? >.>

Not to be a pest (actually, it's far too late for me ), Dr_Jones, but I'm not going to pursue this matter any further (i.e. asking people for copies or anything), just let me know (if you know)... do these special things that these people will never share include a possibly full-length high-quality unedited etc. recording of the Paris La Defense concert?

Audio? Yes. Video? I have never heard about it. But I have seen a short video of Equinoxe 5 on some news channel.

Alrighty, thanks!
