Oh yes, I care a lot. I love Jarre too much to grumble about things, I'd much rather support him as much I can and listen to the music.
I can understand why some fans are upset though, but I'm easy going.

As long as the CDs are not soldiers in the Loudness War and don't have the horrible 1997 quality, they could be interesting.

I can't say I find the 97 remasters "horrible", sure they're loud and a bit bassy but they're listenable.
The dynamic range of the whole of Essentials is only at 8 though, so it's quite likely loudness will be an issue with these new remasters.
I'm not sure why Jarre went with Yakuda Audio for these discs, was he really that impressed with E&R? I mean did he listen to it?
Oh well.

take a look here:

Apart from that: Equinoxe & Zoolook: left and right are swapped; very sloppy
Chronologie: Chrono 4 skips a beat... very very sloppy

Although I doubt it very much, because it's to good to be true. I hope the Equinoxe re-release is a re--master from the original LP version. (the one where Equinoxe 5 sounds better, more analogue)

I don't have Chronologie remaster. That page just shows the DR, which is what I said in my original post, they're loud.
I should have added that "to my ear" they don't sound horrible. Technicalities aside, I find them listenable. I'm not arguing they're good, I'm just saying I don't mind them.

And here we go again... Son of a b...
Les Chants Magnetiques Part II - Concert in Chine
Original - 1997 Remastered - 2014 Remastered
Fourth Rendez-Vous - Cities in Concert Houson/Lyon
Original - 1997 Remastered - 2014 Remastered
This crap is so tiring, seriously why don't they get someone serious for these remasters? Give Vangelis a call, atleast he does most of his own remasters and does them 100% right...

Damn, that's loud
I still can't believe Jarre likes the sound of E&R to have faith in the same guy remastering.

The loudness war goes on heheheh
But did you base this on the mp3s/spotify ones , for the 2014 remasters ? or you got the cds already ?

Maybe David Perreau is much cheaper...
The quality is not important anymore. Jarre is just one more example.
