It's a shame they missed the "30th Anniversary" release date of November for Zoolook. That would have been more fitting for the fans, Jarre and this album being to the date/month instead of going past the deadline to be released on the 31st.
Also, too much to ask for I know, but it would be nice for additional material in the release to make it that 30th anniversary release.

Album Review
On the first departure of his career since 1977's Oxygene, Jean Michel Jarre combined an actual band and processed vocal samples — recorded in 25 different languages — with his rich, melodic synthesizer pop. The rhythm is often propelled by guttural vocal snippets, as on "Ethnicolor" and "Zoolookologie." That's not half as disconcerting for those used to his previous work as the album's art-funk backing: Adrian Belew on guitar, Marcus Miller on bass, and Yogi Horton on drums, plus Laurie Anderson on one track. Though Zoolook is interesting throughout, the tracks with Jarre alone are often the best, reprising the classic Oxygene sound.

Good for Jarre, lame release for fans however. I would have least expected some bonus material for the release not just relying on another remaster.

What point it called 30-year anniversary edition without any addition? Just because since the release exactly 30 years have passed? In this case, Oxygene should have been called 38th anniversary, Equinoxe - 36th, Magnetic Fields - 33th anniversary edition, etc.

It was sayed since the beginning of the remasters that there will be be no bonusmaterial added. Ok, maybe it is lame, but never you can satisfied all fans. Still when it sounds better and frech then I'm happy. Never I expect too much!
Oxygene had also a 30th anniversary and on the cd was nothing more songs added! Ok, there was a dvd included with some extra music (Variations).

That's the point I was trying to make. Why add additional wording on the artwork cover and call it "30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION" and omit sticking any other material on. What was the point of adding extra wording to the cover to entice when in fact it is nothing more than the standard remaster released roughly around the same time of the original release. They could have left that wording off and no one else would have been the wiser. Regardless if Sony or who-ever said there would be no additional content, why mis-sell it this way. I have worked in retail and what Sony are doing here isn't straight forward selling. But then who is to blame for these releases such as this, Jarre? Sony? My monies on Sony. To market a "30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION" minimum would have been 12 " mixes/alternative edits on the CD. Opportunity wasted.
