THE BEST AND THE WORST OF THE WEEK
Jean-Michel Jarre and radioactive jacket
22 October 2014
Question radioactivity, the French musician also appears to have a say and we are almost tempted to ask him to return his jacket to face the phosphorescence of the coat in question. This probably explains why he keeps his sunglasses.

These days innovation is our daily bread in the way we make music, share it, and distribute it. Thanks again to Q Magazine for recognising me with the 'Innovation In Sound' award last week.

Thanks! Is there a following page >>>

That was the complete interview. It continues to interview all the other winners.

There is a “BEHIND THE SCENES” article also in the Q Awards Special Edition Magazine - January 2015 which mentions Jean-Michel:
Johnny Marr and Jean Michel Jarre swapped numbers to explore working together - tentatively discussing the Frenchman’s tour next year.
Comedian/actor/musician Matt Berry, who presented Elbow with their Best Album Award, bought a flat overlooking the site of the first gig he went to: Jean Michel Jarre’s Destination Docklands at London’s Royal Victoria Docks.

Cool interview...Jarre likes DOCTOR WHO !!!

The TV show was infamous in the avant-garde electronic music scene because of its music…

Did French TV really show it?

I checked and the show did not air in France until the 80's… Maybe he saw it in the UK or had satellite…

Jean Michel Jarre: His first mainstream success was the 1976 Oxygène album . Recorded in a makeshift studio at his home, the album sold an estimated 12 million copies. Several of his albums have been released to coincide with large-scale outdoor events, and he is now perhaps as well-known as a performer as he is as a musician. Up to 2004 Jarre sold an estimated 80 million albums. He was the first Western musician officially invited to perform in the Peoples Republic of China, and holds the world record for the largest ever audience at an outdoor event.

100% of sale is donated to WaterAid – a leading charity bringing clean water and sanitation to some of the world's poorest people in 26 countries around the world.
