Yeah, which is why I didn't write "PLD BluRay" on my original post. A DVD would be a lot more convenient than a video cassette, though.

(On a second thought, the MP4 rip of a VHS->DVD conversion of PLD is the most convenient one ;))

A shame about the China concert video, though. I got the one-off Australian DVD release in 2008 and while the quality is higher than a fanmade VHS->DVD one (due to being a transfer of the Australian TV version), well, one can still imagine what a full remaster would be like...

... or rather, a full remaster of a new 100% full recut, the video itself is quite horrible (IMO) as a concert video but rather entertaining as a ... montage.

*shrug*

Anyway, time to listen to the MFSL vinyl version of Equinoxe. Such greatness. 8)

JEAN MICHEL JARRE: NEW SONY RE-MASTERED ALBUM RELEASES

After half a decade of going it alone without being signed to a major record label, Jean Michel Jarre signed a new contract with Sony last year, ahead of his proposed new studio album release, which is currently pencilled in for an early 2015 release.

This will be his first new studio album release since 2007's 'TEO & TEA' on the Warner Music France label (not counting the re-release of 'OXYGENE' on the EMI label later that same year).

The new contract with Sony allows for the re-mastering and re-releasing of Jean Michel Jarre's entire back catalogue, and the first of these re-mastered releases should be available from April 25th 2014 in both digital and physical formats.

Jean Michel Jarre's Management have confirmed to JARRE UK, that the re-mastered releases are expected to be released over the coming months, and although some will have updated artwork, there will be no changes to the tracklisting from the original album releases, and no bonus tracks added.

The first wave of remastered releases appears to include 'OXYGENE', 'EQUINOXE', 'THE CONCERTS IN CHINA', 'CITIES IN CONCERT: HOUSTON / LYON' and 'DESTINATION DOCKLANDS' at the time of writing.

Jean Michel Jarre's Management have also confirmed to JARRE UK that there are no current plans for any of Jean Michel Jarre's previously released videos and DVDs to be re-released on Blu-Ray, and this includes any previously unreleased footage.

JARRE UK would like to thank Aero Productions for this information.

This **** to be called news?

The entire "Jarre-empire", every members, one by one - regarding to their work with/for JM - are a big load of **** !

MOD EDIT: Unacceptable language used.

What a humongous let down, not only for the re-releases and no new material, but mainly for the concert footage. If there is one artist worthy of the attention, it is Jarre.

JMJ, you picked the wrong company going with Sony if this is how they are to support you.

Sad day, sad day indeed :cry:

Actually JMJ is the issue here IMO. There is every chance that Sony would have agreed to at least bolster the CD reissues with bonus material. (They wanted to in 1997).
Sony probably feel that the horse had bolted years before on any DVD release making commercial sense - again JMJ dropped the ball there.
One things for sure - the fans are not being catered for ..

... and if the 2015 album is a flop, he can't blame FDM this time ...

I have to say I'm very disillusioned - to be point of retreating from online discussion. What's the point of flogging a dead horse?

I would be quite happy to eat crow if all this is forgotten in 12 months, but for now I'll retreat into occaisonal lurk mode.
I've waited 14 years, that's the hell long enough ...

I wholeheartedly agree as in reality there are indeed more serious issues going on in the world. But as this is a Jarre forum and a Jarre topic, the content is under discussion which does not associate with other worldly affairs :D Gratitude doesn't come into it until the artist has released new material to gain the gratitude from his fan base, specially after all this time and with little to no input from the artist for such a lengthy duration :D

Now doubt these remasters will come under scrutiny from some Jarre fans to see if they better the originals and the 97 releases. If not, they will come under fire. We have to accept that. If Jarre and Sony believe that reissues are enough to sustain both Jarre, Sony and the fan base, then we have to live with that decision until the time comes for new material, when ever that will be :D

Compared with other world wide famous artists of the same era these remaster releases feels like a joke. Eventhough yes indeed "hurrah" at least something with JMJ's music on it.
If there would be a good opportunity to release anything on Blu-Ray, it couldn't possibly be any better then right now while JMJ's name is signed under Sony. The brand which literally invented the Blu-Ray format...but no. I'm trying really hard to understand this. All I can think of is that the recording quality from the older concerts are so stinking poor that it doesn't even gain any better quality then some terrible VHS standard.
Another version is that JMJ has made up his mind..."nothing from me on Blu-Ray"...and is really stubborn about it.
In that case the only question is WHY not?
