People seem to be missing one crucial detail here: the medium type for regular/deluxe version is "Double-CD", while it's "CD" for the box set. I believe it's like this

1. Regular edition: 2 * DOUBLE-CD ( = 4 * CD)
2. Deluxe edition: 2 * DOUBLE-CD ( = 4 * CD)
3. Box set: 4 * CD
4. Vinyl edition: 4 * Vinyl

That might suggest that the "box set" is superior to the "deluxe edition".

I'll grab the box set and the vinyl release. Always nice to have something new! Also, please, please, please let that Music for Supermarkets be the first track and not just one of the already released pieces!

Can't order yet on bol.com, here's hoping they'll hurry up. And I'm curious what the announcement will be for Friday if this is announced two days earlier...

Edit: it just sunk in... Still no studio recording of The Sun! ;_;

It's not *fully* announced yet. There's no detailed information on the editions, there's no press release, there's no audio/video teaser/trailer (and I'd be very surprised if there weren't any on the 22nd).

Here's the information I just received from Sony Music regarding the formats:

- 2 CD Jewel Case
- 2 CD Digipack (="Deluxe" at Amazon)
- 4 180 g Vinyl Gatefold + 5.1 Downloadcode
- Box incl. Digipack, 2 MCs (!!) + 5.1 Downloadcard.

Thanks.

MCs... wow, that's interesting.

But I still think that it's an error and it's 2 * 2CD. Otherwise that track list would not be able to fit on all editions, which would make no sense...

MCs... What is this hipster-nonsense.
First they bring vinyl back and now this cassette bullshit.

Nope :-/ Nor Web Spinner, Statistics Adagio, Water For Life intro, Aero concert intro... He could have filled an entire album with tracks only played (once) at concerts.

Not gonna lie, I'd even like a studio version of Paris Underground.

Oh, that's a great song.
Which reminds me: no Vizitors track either...

Rarely did musical belief in progress sound as pop-historically valuable as in 1976, when composer, performer, songwriter, sound architect and producer Jean-Michel Jarre released his debut Oxygene. Countless millions of sold units of the record laid the foundation for the unprecedented career of the Frenchman. His pioneering work then triggered a veritable cult, the fastest growing trend the music industry has ever experienced: Electronic Music. Jarre's shows broke three world records and his music always followed his internalized stance that progress is only possible if one is willing to deviate from the norm. With his Best Of PLANET JARRE, the Godfather of Electronic Music is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The 41 handpicked tracks of the album were curated by Jean-Michel Jarre himself and assigned to the four styles and emphases of his musical work. The result was a four-part album on 4 x 180g vinyl LPs, summarized in a hardcover book including download codes for some tracks in 5.1. Sound. The first part, Soundscapes, is made up of nine atmospheric ambience tracks that are clearly inspired by its classic backround and love of film music. Themes, on the other hand, includes the more melodic pieces and world-famous hits like Oxygene 4, Equinoxe 5, and Zoological Studies, which, like all titles, have been remastered. The pieces in the third part are all based on repetitive, hypnotic sequences that illustrate Jarre's role as a pioneer of techno and EDM and include a previously unpublished track Coachella Opening. Rounding out the work of Exploration & Early Work, the part that documents the beginnings of Jarre's musical creation and based on repetitive, hypnotic sequences that can be created only with electronic instruments. Planet Jarre features two brand new titles, Herbalizer and Coachella Opening, as well as rarities such as an early, unreleased demo of Music for Supermarkets, which resulted in the creation of the produced and instantly destroyed album Music For Supermarkets. For a long time, the only LP available on the album was considered to be the world's highest-grossing vinyl. Thus, there are many new and many rediscover on Planet Jarre. Tracks in 5.1. Sound integrated as a download code: 01 Circus 02 Equinoxe 2 03 Equinoxe 5 04 Exit with Edward Snowden 05 Oxygene 15 06 Oxygene 17 07 Oxygene 2 08 Stardust with Armin van Buuren 09 Switched On Leon 10 Coachella Opening 11 Souvenir De Chine 12 Zoolookologie

The above text is an auto-translation from amazon.de.

HOWEVER, different editions have slightly different descriptions, and the box-set description confirms the presence of the cassettes

"So entstand ein vierteiliges Album, das nun im ultimativen Planet Jarre Boxset auf 2CDs, zusätzlich auf 2 Kasetten"

All descriptions however indicate that there are 2 CDs only, which seems weird

Just in case anyone is interested Planet Jarre is now listed on Amazon UK but unavailable at the moment.

All terrific suggestions. Curious if we'll ever get these in a official studio version.

Wasn't this supposed to be released on CD on one point? I don't think it'll happen without all the artists signing up for it. But I don't know the exact details, so who knows.

Made the list more readable. It's a decent selection, but I really had more hope that Jarre would remix all the albums like Mike Oldfield does (well he did the first three and a few others). But even the given lists would've been able to have more impactful tracks like: Ethnicolor, Second Rendez-Vous, Chronology 1 and of course... *sigh*

Zoolook once again being shunned in favour of Zoolookologie!
