BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

I've never heard of anyone mentioning the MS-20 and Jarre's use of the synth. According to Vintage Synth Explorer website the following are listed as using the MS-20:

William Ørbit, Aphex Twin, Hardfloor, Air, SkyLab, Stereolab, Vince Clarke, Astral Projection, Biosphere, Apollo 440, Mr. Oizo, Jimi Tenor, The Prodigy, OMD, Freddy Fresh, Luke Vibert, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Add N to (X), Daft Punk, Coldcut, Die Krupps, Skinny Puppy, Electronic Dream Planet, Jimmy Edgar, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, The Legendary Pink Dots, KMFDM, Severed Heads, The Shamen, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Portishead.

I don't know how accurate they claim their list to be. Wouldn't surprise me if Jarre never used it on tracks since he seems to show off a lot of his vintage gear in older videos and the MS-20 was/is nowhere to be found.

There was a MS20 in square prod's studio during an interview with JMJ about Le Dernier Plan, and there was one in his La Concorde setup, but that's about it...

Hmmm.... I'm unfamiliar with the Place De La Concorde concert. So this was a live recorded concert and not a sudio work? Meaning he's never really used it (MS20) in the studio only live? Curiouser and curioser....

Remember it was only in the studio version of La concorde, there was no on stage, only MS-10 and VC-10

I know, I know...
