(Oddly enough, the 2018 LP version sounds like the strings are "lagging" more than ever before, even though the "delayed" strings are on the left channel as they'd have been in the 1997 CD. )

You mean "right". The delayed strings are (correctly) on the right from 1997 onward.

Can't have any bonus tracks on albums since it changes the album... Meanwhile, we'll gleefully change the mixing, track order and alternate tracks for reasons constantly...

Can't we just get a true definitive answer on all questions for once without any speculation. Like, directly from the horse's mouth?

Whoops, yeah, that's what I meant

Not that this has anything to do with Equinoxe Infinity, but I also remember someone saying that the channels were also swapped in the 1997 remaster of Chronologie. In that case, I've only noticed something different between the versions with the 1993 Korean LP version of Chronologie 4, where I explicitly heard for the first time that "Oh, the hi-hats (I think) actually stop during this part instead of playing continuously during most of the song" - and only then hearing it better on the other versions (1997 CD, 1993 LP, 2018 LP) as well.

He said that? lol

Nah, he doesn't care and tends to "massages" the truth depending on, I guess, current marketing strategy (?). Even asking questions personally might yield different results, I remember how different it felt talking to him on a 1:1 meeting compared to, say, a busy signing session.

That being said, my claim about Equinoxe being wrong until 1997 is as close to the horse's mouth as we can get at the moment.

Yeah, closest I got it from was when Bart from Jarre.net posted an article on his site in 1997 about the stereo swap and he got an email from Dreyfus saying it was always wrong and it's been corrected now.

The album would deserve some live performance.

[Dr_Jones]

Absolutely! The Opening is obviously played enough live, but there's plenty of other tracks that would work perfect live!

Hello, please help! I bought the Equinoxe Project Box a few weeks ago. The access to the bonus contents has expired. Same situation with my Electronica Box. Does anyone have this files? Thanks.

I get that the situation sucks and I can't help since I'm out of the country, but did it really need five posts across five different threads?

[Dr_Jones]

And this is the problem with downloads...

[Dr_Jones]

I removed the other posts, I agree it's a bit too much.
