JMJ talking about the cover: it's inspired by the "solar panels", the copper panels of the chauteau de Versailles and a French "space machine", a hot air balloon. Combined, he wanted an image of this balloon made of copper with eyes like a watcher from the Equinoxe album. Also, the movie Oblivion was an inspiration with its architecture.
These are probably the seeds to generate this image.

He's working on a 4K (and a DCF - digital cinema) version of the film. Following Taylor Swift releasing concert model? :-D

He's still working on the Bratislava concert, no news yet. Interesting insights into the process, he explains everything has changed for creating a concert since COVID. He's having a meeting in Barcelona this Sunday, hopefully some news next week.

The lyrics of the opening track of Versailles 400 are an imaginary language, there's no proper meaning (I also posted that question).

He isn't happy with the fades on the digital release. He had to cut Amazonia too in 9 parts because Spotify wouldn't accept it. A live album gives more problems. It really annoys him, it seems... He sounds grumpy talking about it.

No involvement with the Olympics, sadly.

On touring: he toyed with the idea of an Oxymore tour, but concert halls are not designed for 360 sound. He is now exploring A.I. and he's thinking about what a concert would look like in 2024/2025, probably with A.I. involvement. He won't do a world tour in a while, it's not where his mind is at the moment.

Finally: he understands fandom pretty well :-D Fandom is a mixture of hope, dreams, disappointment. He understands he can't satisfy everyone and he has decided to draw his own plan a long time ago.

Good talk, JMJ was very open. Also a good host doing the talk.
