Jarre's new album is for November???

No official announcement = nothing to be sure of

Of course i know, i said it referring to article!

[Nico_Noyau]

It is not saying a lot about JMJ, but we have a date of release :
the album will be released the 22th September

Less than one month to wait OMGz :D:D:D

[Jarp2600]

Earlier than the Symphonic Jarre?!!!

[Nico_Noyau]

Yes, it seems, and the info is from Aerozone and DHNet.be

[Jarp2600]

Damn, Good news!

[Nico_Noyau]

Damn, Good news!

Yes !
But I want more sources before being really happy, I don't want to read "in fact no, it is for november !"

Where did you read "november" ?

[AMR]

Hum,

Jarre says during Gdansk "new album for autumn" (what year?) but has no idea on what style it will be, it's just "diferent".

Francis Rimbert recently says "we're working on it but I'm not allowed to speak of it".

...And it's getting out on the 22nd of Sep 2006?

How come the expected in Oct 2nd "Symphonic Jarre" and already with previews is being marketed and pre-selled and the "new album" is not?

Weird... (or in other words, no new album, perhaps a "new" compilation or revisit/recicle to disturb Dreyffus?).

Kind Regards,
AMR

Nooooo!! I hope it is referring to the new album!

[Nico_Noyau]

Or the 22 September is the release date of the Pre-Oxygène works for iTunes...

Wait and see!
Greetzzz...

[LLGARCIA]

Is he trying to have his name again on the Guiness Book of Records?

I am quite surprised, and not really believing...

[Nico_Noyau]

No need to believe, we are at least sure that he will release an album, it is better than nothing

And the most time it will take, the better will the album be

[GeeJee]

And the most time it will take, the better will the album be

That has to be seen. JMJ said once in an interview that his most succesfull tunes and hits were composed in short moment

As for the release date: I think it's a mistake or either they talk about another release or album, simply because the recording sessions have only started a few weeks ago and even if the album has already been finished (which I strongly doubt) - it still has to go to mixing and mastering phases and needs some decent promotion before it's release too, to not mention related (promotional) releases and videoclips that need to be made.

To cut a long sentence short: impossible.

[Nico_Noyau]

When I was speaking of a lot of time, it is not necessarely the time to compose, but the time, as you said :

to mixing and mastering phases and needs some decent promotion before it's release too, to not mention related (promotional) releases and videoclips that need to be made.
