New album, new tour, yes please!
But I hope it is sooner rather than later. I am no good at waiting, much.

Any new album would be delivered to his large fan base to support another tour (where the real money is these days) and additional take up would come from those "non-fans" with more than a passing interest in electronic music. Downloads are where sales are at these days but Jarre equally knows that his main audience will want physical copies of his work - a smaller record company with minimal promotion will probably suit him just fine!
I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear more analogue on this album, as the desire to hear that analogue synths is stronger than it ever was amongst those who appreciate electronic music. I think Jarre has picked up on this, which is what his Oxygene presentations were all about. I recall that at this time he was picking up many additions to his analogue collection (including some Russian ones) which he must have been spending all of this time getting to grips with.
I think the two album / double album thing could come from a desire to hit some kind of commercial groove. I imagine something like the first disc will be analogue sounds melded with modern technologies, while the second disc would be a "dance /remix" approach if you will, an unwillingness to knock the Teo & Tea approach on the head in a desire to remain relevant with today's electronic music audience.
That, together with the hint that he will release on vinyl...
Should be a good year... but let's face it, that "good year" will probably end up being 2013, or maybe even 14... whenever he can justify going out on tour again I suspect!
Oh. Happy New Year everyone!
I take your advice.
I think he should release the albums (if two we consider) in a several months gap time (e.g. Téo&Téa/Oxygène 3D), so he can maximize publicity over the whole year.

Slightly off topic, but don't you think the Oxygene 3D release was to "make up" for where he went wrong. He alienated a lot of people with Teo & Tea as I recall, the Oxygene releases and subsequent tour seemed (to me at least) Jarre's way of making up.
I'm probably wrong on that one though.

I personally like Téo & Téa quite a bit so no need to make that up, Oxygene New Master Recording while welcome, was just horribly mastered compared to the original recordings. Same goes for: Live in Your Living Room. These two things were absolutely perfect for celebrating the 30th anniversary of Oxygene (minus the crappy mastering), but nothing more to me....

Thrown in a almost completly naked woman in the videoclip of one of the songs, and have some weird visuals, and your album is a sell over million copies no problem. Music these days isn't about the music, it's about the image that surrounds it, has been for a long time already...

Are you reffering to the "tout est bleu" clip wetsuit scene ? it didn't work out for Jarre that much

At least this is good news - he's in the studio working on a new album with a rumoured summer release

For me, the good news is when I have the new album in my hands.

It is said there is a problem regarding distribution, but it's not too long time. The release...

Maybe he should just go back to Disques Dreyfus and be done with it, seeing how E&R was to. Would make sence if you ask me...
