BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Dance music superstar dj Tiesto is keen to create the magic of his hero Jean Michel Jarre at Wembley Stadium when the famous London venue re-opens later this year.

And the show could be the first of a string of Jarre-like spectaculars the Dutch hitmaker will perform at the world’s most amazing sites and arenas, to promote his new album Elements of Life. Tiesto, real name Tijs Verwest, is even considering using some of the modern Wonders of The World as the backdrops to concerts.

The Traffic DJ, who stunned the world with his performance at the Parade of Athletes ceremony which opened the Athens Olympics in Greece in 2004, says:

“That’s a very good idea. I’d certainly consider playing at the Pyramids, Egypt, where Jean Michel Jarre performed on New Year’s Eve in 1999. I’m often compared to him and I’m always flattered. But that’s not my immediate dream. After performing at EuroDisney, which I’ve now done, it would be really good to play at Wembley Stadium.”

Too bad I don't like his music
So... down the drain with the copycat...

I like Tiesto's music. It is good that his hero is JMJ. I hope his lookalike JMJ concert/s become a hit as JMJ will get the credit in the long run as he did them first.

I know him by name... but that's it.

I like his stuff, particularly the 'In Search of Sunrise' compilations that he put together, very ambient-trancey.

Actually, JMJ seems to be copy catting Tiesto, I felt T&T sounded so familiar...

T&T's lead notes follow the same line as do the ones in Tiesto's "Lethal Industry" (or something along these lines), except for the fact JMJ's are stacatto, and Tiesto did it quite a long while before T&T.

I wonder from where were was that lead sampled from... (unless Tiesto writes up melodies from scratch, he found that gem somewhere and, as usual, remixed it and placed it somewhere quite well - in his dance'esque darker undergournd all night long style).

It's quite a famous "ringtone" here (when I'm "here", here meaning Lisbon Portugal).

Kind Regards,
AMR
