I included the Oxygene tour in "touring and performing" because even though there was a re-recording out, I dont think he mainly wanted to promote its release. I think he mainly wanted to do a special concert project, which was doing live electronic music on analogue synths, something few (if any) do on that scale. The fact is, he said once that the tour (the 2008 part) happened a bit accidental, it wasnt really planned from the beginning but it happened because Marigny was such a success. So I maintain that he wanted to put on a concert project, more than selling CDs

But, this really belongs in another thread.....

You must make it a habit of browsing Planet Origo each week, at least!
