BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Before the Roland D-50 VST was released, I had no idea about how few D-50 factory presets JMJ used on the album. A lot of the ones in Revolutions come from preset disks - meaning that he, or someone in his team, had to procure a bunch of (possibly obscure) preset diskettes for the album.

Not to mention that even after all these years, not all of them still have been recovered by fans.

Regardless, great interviews! Looking forward to the next part

Ever since seeing the picture of Experimental 2001, I've been really interested in hearing it. I'm curious if they'll ever bother with its release. Sure it'll probably be much like Sessions, which wasn't that great, but had a few great moments (March 23 is such a goshdarn great track). I take it the only chance is when they're either bother with a serious shot at it, or when Jarre passes and they're trying to cash in and release it as a "lost new" album.

Looks like Dreyfus has the say in the release of Experimental 2001.
Great interview again, JMJ is very open and even talks about this E2001 release!

More fascinating insights.

JmJ Fiona candid with you more than with any other interviewer.

You deserve their trust.

When I worked on the Electronica project, and was in the studio with Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack,
I said that my dream would be to make an album that sounded like Massive Attack, but I know that I can’t.
And Robert told me that he would love to do an album that sounded like me, but you can’t escape who you are.

Young JmJ could easily compose in any electronic music style.
Old JmJ can't.

That's why when young JmJ should released album every year whilst the fountain flows.
Fountain runs dry after a certain age.

Re Teo Tea
Jarre simply can’t remember
JmJ : It was a very dark period for me.

I understand JmJ buried teo tea back of his mind.

They do say " Laughter is the best medicine."

Therefore

JmJ should release a compilation called

Re Teo Tea

– If tthere is one album of mine you should avoid, it’s this one.

JmJ shouldn't be overly hard on himself.

Aphex Twin been proud of Chatterbox : humorous clever ... very Aphex Twin.

First of all, JMJ didn't composed TEO & TEA. The music of that "album" was just some demo songs from the Roland MC-808 wich was not composed by JMJ. (I can understand why Jarre will forget this fake album)

Freedom day and synthetic man, are very nice tracks and typicaly Jarre from that time.
Last Rumba, a perfect Jarre track.
Calypso, very refreshing bud a real and typicaly Jarre track.
Movement 6 the one and only modern track and one of the best tracks on the album.

Ah kubrick ... please , trust him ! You can be sure he has yet Electronica 3 album , before JMJ made it ... Too better you are kubrick . Respect !

So what do you think, when will the silence breaks?

I personally doubt the album gets released this year; in good case, some names will appear but not really more.
Obviously the pandemic affects the process of the making and the discussions with the collaborators go via skype. We can imagine how difficult the completion can be... thinking of that even some brand new piece hardly gets born, regardless the lockdown...

I don't really know. He's been working on EoN in the meantime, an autobiography, and there's the pandemic which could cause a delay. I will see it when it is announced.

Most certainly a fake, but a well done one

Sadly, there will be no (official) collaboration duet pic for JMJ and the DVD logo with the result being PLD on DVD.
