Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

By the way GeeJee, that industrial revolution finale piece on your soundclick site was very nice. Very intruiging build up with those samples from various interviews intermixed, and what follows is a very impressive sounding summary of the industrial revolutions music movements as interpreted by ...

1990 La Defense, with bus tour arrangement from Holland organized by Dutch fanclub at the time (JarreMania), wonderful weekend. Paris in the baking sun, the military parading through the streets with tanks, the fire brigade parading in golden helmets, not a cold beer to buy from the street vendors ...

The question posed by Geejee, seemed simple to me at first: ofcourse I like the song first and then explore what it is that makes that song great (the individual sounds used). But thinking more about it, my thoughts move towards what makes our mind tick when hearing music, what comes first: the ...

Does anyone know if Oxygene lp's with the Disques Motors label are still floating around, or are they hard to get hold of these days?

The Sony Ericsson K800i 3.2 mp cybershot mobile phone/camera! As a photographer I didn't want to drag my digital Nikon SLR with me wherever I go for what could only be snapshots, so I think I found the perfect hybrid. It has all the features an average digital camera has: autofocus, flash (with ...

Amen to that, hugely underrated, they are very flexible (soundwise ofcourse, built like a tank otherwise) killer leads in dual mode and epic basses in uni mode and very easy to edit, still love and use mine.

I wouldn't mind fiddling around with that Docklands custom portable keyboard with the organic look, it's pictured in the booklet of the "Jarre live" cd on the "eroded remains of tomorrow" page. You know, with the two rods and microphone sticking out the end ( I think he used it during revolutions at ...

Latest buy: a Yamaha A3000 sampling unit, fully expanded

A yamaha A3000 sampler with maximum internal memory for 150 euro's joy

With Radek there, it should be impressive

Ok, how stupid can I be. I had it all the time, but thanks Ronja, for linking it to "Deserted Palace", it is on my "rarities" cd, I overlooked it in time

It's about sampling, my dear. LP has the 'whole' signal, whereas CD's are resampled, and thus lack very little of the signal...

Yes, analogue represents the signal "as is" depending on the quality of equipment being used ofcourse. But this also goes for digital equipment, with a major drawback ...

To begin... "Bridge Of Promises" is great! :D

Never heard of this track Ronja, can you tell me something about it?

And Magnetic Fields part 1 usually does it for me, what great energy! I deliberately took it with me on my walkman (a long time ago) when I rented a plane with a friend who just ...

Well, putting up with the crackles an lp unavoidably generates. I realized that my collection of Jarre lp's is very much worth listening to again since I bought a Bang&Olufsen Beogram 1700 turntable with the famous mmc element in perfect condition, what a difference! Being used to play my Jarre ...

Sorry from me, Andy and moderators, I was the first one to criticise Ed Starink in an unsubtle way on this thread (witch might have fired up the discussion the way it went). I'll explain more the next time I'm critical okay? It was not my call to diss his music ( or question his place in the poll ...
