Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

[Jarrepeggiator]

Is there anyone here who is specifically collecting the forgotten/non-album Jarre tracks, like for example, The Sun, Avatars, Periaktos, Chromatic, Souris Calle, the 4 collab tracks with Gorillaz, the remix of Split Personality by Deathpact, etc. on a list or database or anything like that? I know these are tracks which most likely work better in the original context, but I'm just curious to see if there is such list, because I want to know if there are still any publicly released Jarre tracks out there that I haven't heard or somehow missed, especially as a fan who is following him since 2015, it's not impossible that I missed some release somehow.



Perhaps there could be something from the pre-Oxygene era. It took me several years until I relased that for example Helza or Cartolina exists.

Sport en Fête (1972) , Dorian (1973) and Setyricon (1975) come to mind, but also Palawan (1991). And there's tracks like Volcanic Dance (1992), Aero Introduction (2002), Intro Saturée (2006), Statistics Adiago (2010) that were only played at concerts and never released. The Bourges 2002 tracks, and Alone Together (2020) tracks.And Garage Special (2017), which was an improvisation.

Speaking of tracks only played at concerts does anyone know what is the name of the track that was played during the Oxygene 30th Anniversary tour between Oxygene 6 and Oxygene 12? I don't think I have ever seen a name given to it.

Variation 4

Oh, and that music that is played during the 3D footage on the 2007 Oxygene DVD.

Variation 3 is still such a stunner of a piece

Wow, thank you so much!
I've actually never heard of Sport en Fete, even though it's just an alternate version of Deserted Palace, the title track, but interesting. Dorian was also something new for, even if it's just the first 1 minute which was totally new, a bit like Windswept Canyon, the rest are different versions of known Jarre tracks. But there is also an other version of the Le juge /La mort du cygne/Rendez-Vous 3 melody. I can't believe how many times he reused that melody.
Statisitcs Adiago sounds weirdly familiar, but Volcanic Dance was totally new for me, I definitely haven't heard it, thanks!

By the way, here are the tracks that Gorillaz did with Jarre, all of them:









Which is your favourite and which is your least favourite?

I discovered this collaboration with Gorillaz that I like

Then this video (watch at 2 min 55 sec) :



It's cool

The song “Webspinner” played during the Electronica tour is also an unreleased song which you can add to your list
And the Palawan soundtrack in 1990/91

[Dr_Jones]

If Bratislava gets a release, Web Spinner will finally be an officially released track.

[Herr Dunkel]

Not a track per se, but still: a 4 minute improvisation to demonstrate new synthesizers JMJ had just received during Joachim Garraud's Live Session #14 of 6 April 2020.

All of the AOR tracks and snippets from around 71, some of them are on YT and others aren't

It's basically an alternative take on Switch on Leon, but still...
