Who has expected an Oxygene / or Zoolook / or Chronologie style album in 2015 ?

Your words.

If I'm being brutally honest, for the first track off the album after a 8 year break, you would expect something a bit more... you know, something with a certain wow factor considering who it is.

I couldn't agree more. It's just that first impression that sounds way too much easy software-based "simplicity".

...in regards to 1 track, with 1 collaborator, from an (hopefully) hour-long album.

I bet my money on your optimism and hopes for the best.

Robi, you are acting as if you composed the track(s) and who has taken offence to others views on it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so there really is no need to shoot people down for having an opinion which differs from yours.

Lets not forgot the countless posts from you complaining of no news from Jarre, his team, management, release date of new material, album news, album delays, and with a major bulk of that in this very thread... the list could go on. If anyone has done the most complaining it is you. So please give others a break considering what we have had to tolerate over the past years from your complaints.

Anyway.

Some of them here living in this bubble! And they don't accept anything out of that! I don't like everything what Jarre does but my mind is more wide and don't judge immediately. I will listen first carefully. Not judging 2 minutes or even 46 second of music. Ok, if you don't like it since the beginning, I understand. But how you can judge a whole album only from a short part of a song that will be including on the new album. Poor people, go back in your cave and listen 24h/24h to Oxygene or Equinoxe.

"Who has expected an Oxygene / or Zoolook / or Chronologie style album in 2015?"

WE don't expect anything. WE hope (for Jarre's own sake) that it's a damn good quality album. And WE don't care in which style that is.. And I'm happy to repeat that for those (Christophe/Robi) who really seem to have a VERY hard time understanding this:

"And WE don't care in which style that is". Got it now?? No?? Well, I didn't this so..

Christophe, as always you sound like a child with a very very low ..

"But how you can judge a whole album only from a short part of a song that will be including on the new album. Poor people, go back in your cave and listen 24h/24h to Oxygene or Equinoxe. "

Again I will ask, WHO in here has made an judgement of the whole album?? I haven't heard it yet.. Anyone else heard it?

Poor poor Christophe, if only YOU would come out of YOUR cave, then maybe, just maybe, you would evolve and possibly grow a .... (And I'm not talking about a beard)

Robi & Christophe: This forum is NOT a kindergarden, this is a forum for grown ups, and if you don't like peoples opinions on stuff, then go to your parents about it..


Greeeeetings!

There's no fighting going on, but it looks like you, finally, got the message.

It's better to discuse the new song and future album properly without judging others with a different opinion. Peace at all!

That´s right

This is not the expected studio album, but a small part of the cooperation with one of the other artists.

He will polarize and stimulate discussion. The idea of temporary cooperation of similar products are also used in other industries with success. (For Example : I go to the nail designer, I get a good discount voucher for a special hairdresser not far away, there are coupons for the nail designer and manufacturer of cosmetics distributed) Mutual advertising. That's not bad. …I personally havn`t known about a group called M83 before. I have now looked at several videos on Youtube of them. I know them now, but sorry, I do not like anything. ( It could be otherwise) Many people under 35 do not know about JMJ. He has his prominent time just now long behind him. For him a good way for him to become well known among fans of other groups and artists.
Perhaps no one will find all tracks of the album good . He will probably not expect.
The track does not sound like JMJ, but I think that will not be wanted. On the one hand, there is a cheat pack for JMJ fans. Chronic critics will say he alone can compose no more. But why should M83 contribute to a song if it sounds by JMJ? That's probably it will be the same with the other tracks. Hans Zimmer will sound like Hans Zimmer and Tangerine Dream like Tangerine Dream (unfortunately the last piece of Edgar Froese), etc. etc. Probably!

Perhaps it would have been better if the album will be out under the heading: "JMJ presents his favorite artists" , and nothing told about “collaboration”.???

I will judge about the album when I heard everything, but I can judge about a single track like this before. It´s not my music, but about the album probably... I will like some tracks, and some I don`t. It's all a matter of personal taste.
It's great everyone can pick out and buy his own raisins Not the unwanted

That's nice, so I guess you won't be posting things like this anymore..

Love it! Not saying that Spacelab is one of my favorite Kraftwerk tracks. You made a great cover man. Not knowing that I could tell Kraftwerk themselves are playing

[Velodynamic]

Nice track from Jarre & M83. I realy don't care what some of the Jarre fans say here on this forum(sounds like Coldplay). The track is very good. I like it a lot!

Good for you! Come back next year and tell how good it still is. I wish you all the best of luck.

What is this all about? I like the track, and I will like the track next year too.
