Do want!

Yes, of course I have recorded it but I can't share because I do not have facilities available to share. My notes will have to do in the meantime until a video is available.

Here goes:

Starts with a new clip that is not available on the internet atm. I it and I am sure you all will too.

Recorded Oxygene more less in the kitchen. His first home studio debut. He felt frustrated of the quality of the recording and want to do it in HD, that we have today. To replay the old piece with the original vintage instruments, from the 70's but with HD sound and to record the piece. By doing that he realises that those analogue synthesizers are legendary.

He goes on to talk about the stratavisor (I am guessing here because I am no synth expert) and the gibson (guitar, I think).

All the vintage gear was kept in a warehouse. The new version of Oxygene 3D is warmer, brighter and much better. It is a premier for him as Jean Michel has never played the whole recording. 8 tracks and 4 people on stage. It is live and shot in one take.

Then, Jean Michel speaks about the four concerts he had done that are in the The Guinness Book of Records. He says jokingly he is not sponsored by Guinness .

Then goes back to speaking about how these working instruments, if I am here today it is because of the inventors who created them. New studio album for next year, one way or another will involve these instruments. JMJ says that Oxygene 3D will be released on the 3 December.

David Frost invites him back to the show next year when the new album will be out. JMJ says okay!!!

Any mistakes are all mine and mine only. I did this very quickly but I think it's all correct on what the master said on tonight's airing of 'FROST OVER THE WORLD' over here in the UK!

I enjoyed that interview which was not very long but well worth every second.

How have you recorded it? If it's VHS, I can digitize it very easily.

Thanks, Kanta, and your busy little fingers! *







* Almost as busy as Equinoxe's!

What is the style of the new clip? Compared to an existing track? oxygene 1, equinoxe 2?

Perfect Kanta, excellent job, thanks !
I could almost hear the music in my head

About the Stradisumthing, I guess he spoke about the Stradivarius, which is an excellent and unique sounding violin

OK, you lost me there XD

It's funny you mention those 2 tracks, because IMO it's a style reminiscent of both those tracks, but it was only a 20 second clip.

For those in Europe with satellite dishes, the Al Jazaara English channel can be found at:

Frequency: 11.681 GHz
Polarity: V (Vertical)
Symbol Rate: 22,000
FEC: 2/3

It's free to air (FTA), so no card for unscrambling is neded.

BTW the satellite is Eurobird 1 at 28.5 degrees east, pretty much the same area as Astra 2 at 28.2 east.

I just came.

But I figured if it's the first (opening) track, it should be something like that.

, it's on a DVD with a plastic case covering. I can't even insert the DVD in my computer because it is too big. The covering is to protect the disc itself from future damage and sticky fingers.

Exactly like this:

You are welcome. I know the video would better but I sure it will find it's way on the internet.
Hehe, yes almost like Equinoxe's fingers.

It's similar to Oxygene 1. The clip was too short but the music to describe it for me is soft and gentle music.

You are welcome and correct about the violin. Okay, so one mistake on my part. It's not easy taking notes and watching Jean Michel at the same time.

Yeah, and I guess you mainly had your eyes staring at JMJ than at your keyboard, hmm

WANT A POSTER!
