No!, until now, every album is different from others. That's Jarres strength.

If you expect an artist to do what has been done, you ask him to not move on with his artistic ideas, which is in fact, to me, killing your artistic nature. Unless you like to do the same over and over again, which I don't. I'm sure I wouldn't like JMJ's music if it was 15 Oxygene/Equinoxe-styled albums...
I'm not saying that that's what I wanted. I think the public may have expected that and it was quite a shock to critics that he had changed quite a lot.

Exactly. I wasn't saying it was your point of view, but I understood it was the public opinion back at that time, which doesn't make sense to me at all. But that's easily said afterwards...

It was played live in China, so, I don't know if it is a joke. Or it would be one like Band in Rain on the organ.

Surely if he made it as a joke on the album it can be a joke on the concerts :P

It's cheesy, but I think he wanted something like that on the album

MF must be one of his top 10 albums.

When I heard MF5 for the first time I thought that it was an imitation of Klaus Wunderlich.

MF5 made me first think of lousy Swedish Dance-bands lik Vikingarna but that is a whole other thing. Now I actually like it!

I'm not sure what the source was, a magazine or just anoter fan on a mailing list or in the forum.

But I've read somewhere, that Jarre wanted with MF5 a song on that album, that showed the difference between of what he does and of the people's perception, that electronic music is just pressing a few knobs on a keyboard with automated drums and chords and playing a simple, cheesy melody.
In this persecptive, the song works well.

:D

And yes, as "intended kitsch", he did play a good joke on us with that song. :lol:
