Jote this is such a stretch. Michel Geiss himself refuted in a detailed interview everything you wrote.
I really don't know why you persist with such nonsense.
Did JmJ hurt you ignore you is this why.
IMHO, it's no nonsense. It makes perfect sense. It's like a producer producing a record for an artist. If Mark Ronson produces a record, you can hear his style, if Trevor Horn works with Seal, Robbie Williams or Tatu you know he worked on it.
The same goes for Geiss and Gervais, with the difference that there's a more equal cooperation than the producer/artist relationship. They have their own style (sound design) and input and that goes well with JMJs work..
Listen I don't want to get into this rehash.
Just this once :
JmJ is his own Producer it's on all the records it's legally binding.
Did Michel Geiss produce anything compose anything Nope.
Michel Geiss laughed at these suggestions you and Jote made in his detailed interview.
Shirley (don't call me Shirley) you are aware of this interview.
*Michel Geiss clearly said Oxygene was almost complete before he met JmJ.
*Equinoxe it was the Matrix Sequencer an instrument just as any synth any drum machine that enabled the sequences.
Michel suggested JmJ keep Equinoxe 7. These and making some rain sounds is Michel Geiss contribution.
*Magnetic Fields is clearly shaped by Fairlight and Oberheim.
*CinC nothing to do with Michel Geiss.
*MFS Fairlight and JmJs brilliance.
*Zoolook the only thing Michel did was introduce JmJ to Ethnologist Xavier Belinger. The Brilliance of Zoolook is down to JmJ. I have already discussed Zoolook.
Yep there were other musicians playing on it, JmJ lists them on the record.
*Rendezvous clearly shaped by Elka Synthex, Fairlight, JmJs previous compositions from 1970s, Baroque, Jazz of John Coltrane. Yep there were other musicians playing on it, JmJ lists them on the record. JmJ wanted to bin Rendezvous 4, Michel suggested not to.
*Revolutions clearly shaped by Roland D50 and JmJs love of World music, Waltz, Jazz, The Shadows. Yep there were other musicians playing on it, JmJ lists them on the record.
*WFC Michel suggested Calypso Steel drummers as JmJ loves World music. The rest is JmJ, Technos Axel, Atari, D50, Kurzweil. Yep there were other musicians playing on it, JmJ lists them on the record.
*Chronology the album I'm most embarrassed about for JmJ. It belongs in 1982 that's how backwards it is especially compared to what was going on in Electronic music at the time. Chronology 3 compositionally is a brilliant JmJ track.
