l Adrian finishes his stint with King Crimson.  Adrian records "Zoolook" with Jean-Michel Jarre and also produces The Elvis Brothers."

Just to clarify

I was expecting something really *new* from Jarre. Because he is an artist ahead of our time. He has been always visionary, futuristic, creative and superb. Listening Teo & Tea (Promo) I could not identify something really new ... these tracks remember me other electronic styles ...
