Could you edit your first post in this thread with the YouTube video link? Might come useful in the future.

Won't the full concert be gone after tomorrow? I thought JMJ said it will be online for 4 days.

I think this was about the VR experience only (which apparently is already gone)

Ah, that could be it. Let's hope so.

Here it is:

So it apparently costed Paris €750K to produce this concert, comparable to the cost of a large-scale fireworks show.

Here it is:

Haven't seen that one in a long time. Just looking at the sound waves in the background, we really should've seen the end result coming. But alas. The things I'd do for just a straight up tape transfer without any of the nonsense they pulled in the end...

I'm sorry... But excuse me? I hope this was mostly down due to licensing and not the actual concert.

I just don't understand why JMJ plays Exit without the Snowden dialogue. What's the point? I think it is a dreadful track musically, instantly forgettable. But it's saved by the political-cultural-technological message from Snowden.

I always got the impression it was a rushed track, that he secured the interview with Edward Snowden late on in the making of Electronica and needed to embed the spoken dialogue into something quickly in time for the release of Pt 2 Heart Of Noise.

I honestly thought it would be quickly dropped as a live track, even with the Snowden part retained. Just makes no sense without the central message.

I honestly quite like the track, even without the speech of Snowden, it pulls of what it tries to convey brilliantly. It's all about the insane speed and non stop information of the internet. It's such a rush and the moment it slows down now lasts for a mere second before it continues with even more sounds blaring at you. It's the least Jarre-like track since Téo & Téa, but it does brilliantly for what it's supposed to do.

The same article then goes on to say such VR concerts are relatively inexpensive and can be delivered for less than €100,000 so looks like the JMJ experience went well over budget!

I've bought the MP3 files of Welcome to The Other Side from Amazon. Both Zero Gravity and Time Machine are listed as having "contributing artists" as JMJ & Tangerine Dream and JMJ & Boys Noize, but there is no mention of Armin van Buuren for Stardust. Why is this?

Also, Oxy 2 and Oxy 4 are clearly labelled as remixes, but Zero Gravity has no mention of it being the Above & Beyond remix. Seems a shame that Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren are getting no credit here.
