For "Electronica", his new crazy project, Jarre collaborated with all artists that matter in electronic music. Always at the forefront, it will offer some 3D titles MP3 audio. Bluffing.
Great article. Thanks.
The song made with Air, composed with a wide range of electronic instruments covering the history of electronic music, seems very promising.
Jean-Michel Jarre with Laurie Anderson Track Story by Jean-Michel Jarre Official YouTube Channel
Uploaded on 11 September 2015
Jean-Michel Jarre and Laurie Anderson talk about their collaboration on Jean-Michel Jarre's upcoming album.
‘Track Stories’ interview
In this video, Jean-Michel Jarre meets experimental musician, composer and artist Laurie Anderson who he collaborated with on ‘Rely On Me’.
Jean-Michel Jarre has been one of the pioneering forces of the electronic music scene over the past four decades, having originally come to fame in the 1970s with his critically acclaimed concept album ‘Oxygène’.
‘Oxygène’ was unmistakably a catalyst that set electronic music well on its way to becoming the behemoth that it is today. Now with over 80 million albums sold worldwide, musicians and contemporary DJs often refer to Jarre as a key influence and inspiration, not only for his music but also for his live show experiences.
Jean-Michel Jarre’s new studio album features collaborations with artists Jarre admires, and who he feels share a common ‘DNA’.

Like Jarre said in the video: "It's the most unusual track of this project."
I was dissapointed with snipped of "Rely On Me" in the video of the compilation of the album. I'm more happy with it when I see (and hear) the video. Laurie Anderson will make always strange music. But that's ok for me.
On 16 October 2015, Jean-Michel Jarre will release his new album Electronica Part 1: The Time Machine, where the French musician tells - through 15 collaborations with the likes of Tangerine Dream, Massive Attack, Moby and John Carpenter - the history of electronic music from his personal perspective.
