@jeanmicheljarre presents its new album Oxymore to us in the Happy Hour FG: "It took me 6 weeks to create it, it's the most special album of my career... I did feel recording in using noises from the street, from the body, from everyday life, I really had fun”

Jean-Michel Jarre about the originators of electronic music and his time at the GRM - 2nd part of the interview

“Electronic music is coming from our heritage of classical music. It is not originally a pop format.”

Dardust's interview: "Oxymore" and the sound of electronic music

"When I started EPICA, I immediately thought that @brianeno
could be involved in this most rhythmic track of the album, thinking that he could bring his signature « ambient » touch in reworking the track - another kind of Oxymoron. But he told me that he was most interested in developing rhythmic ideas these days…and here is the beautiful, ghostly, unexpected result. Thank you Brian. » JMJ

So, the Brian Eno remix (or Extension) of Epica this friday.

I've just purchased Epica Extension from Qobus but it only comes with the basic cover artwork - white background, black text. Does anybody have a copy of the more detailed cover art, similar to Brutalism Take Two and Brutalism Reprise?

Got this from Amazon

Thank you!

About this mix, I'm finally disappointed because it seems "impersonal" to me.
For me, a mix by an artist of a piece by another artist must both reinterpret the piece with the sensitivity of the mixer while respecting the original... but here I don't recognize anything from Brian Eno, this ethereal side , quiet (except at the beginning). But the rhythmic which settles down then amounts to returning to the original without adding anything more.
Otherwise, at approximately 2 minutes 52 seconds, do you hear a cracking sound which to me seems inappropriate?

Thanks for the more detailed cover art. Agreed, this remix is disappointing. I was expecting something longer and more textured. It's too short, like a "radio edit" - it can't go anywhere interesting in such a short time.
