Good evening, as a new poster here I'd like to thank all of you. It has been very interesting reading all your messages.
I too am looking forward to Oxygene 3-D. I can't dismiss Teo&Tea completely.
I think Jarre takes chances with his art. sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Oxygene 7-13 was just perfect in every way. His albums since have been things of patchy delights. Metamorphoses had some moments on it but was marred by the 12 DOTS fiasco(there is no other word). Aero was a long time coming and again had some lovely pieces.
I have seen some of the Oxygene 3-D clips on You Tube and what I see is a man in his element. Watching him with those old analogue monsters is like watching John Williams with his guitar. An artist in communion with his instrument. it just looks effortless.
on the subject on lives mistakes, hurrah! I welcome them. David Gilmour plays his cristaline guitar solo's differently each time, but creates the same mood albeit with the odd bum note. It's not science or maths but art!
Above all, I'm looking forward to revisiting that night in January 1991 when I first heard Oxygene in it's entirety. it led to me becoming a musician myself.
What has that album done for me? It's paid my mortgage, many electricity bills. Without it I wouldn't be who I am today.
Bravo Jean-Michel, here's to the next 30 years!
