Probably so, all "lowered" prices at insideout.de that I checked were lowered by 3%.

Out of more than 300 registered authors from all over the world, Jean-Michel Jarre announced live a week ago, on July 3, 2020, that the first place was won by the EōN remix Sterepoetica, sent to the competition by Slovenian Miha Brodnik and named after the band. Jarre’s live address and the rationale for choosing the winner, which lasted half an hour on his social media, was watched by more than 80,000 people, followed by 3,000 comments, nearly 400 shares and more than 7,000 likes. A few days later, a video of Miha Brodnik was posted on Jean-Michel Jarre’s Facebook profile. Immediately after the announcement of the winner, he was contacted by the manager of Jean-Michel Jarre, who is organizing a live conversation between the king of electronic music and the winner from Slovenia for the coming days.
To this day I haven't bothered with the set. It's a nice set, but for two records and a CD... It's something else...

APG Provides ‘Infinite’ Audio for Jean-Michel Jarre’s Audiovisual Artwork
The company’s iX8 speakers have been installed as part of an innovative temporary art exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille (France).
Jean-Michel Jarre said about EōN: "It probably is one of the most exciting creative projects I’ve worked on since Oxygène. I have always wanted to create music that is specific to each listener, capable of constantly evolving in terms of rhythm, tonality, tempo, melody and texture. So here it is. EōN is conceived and composed as a different journey for everyone, with no determined end.”
Vianney Apreleff, BLEASS’s manager, explained: “Jean-Michel Jarre's vision was to present the video screens vertically, to be reminiscent of the monolith in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. That gave us the idea to arrange the iX speakers on either side, creating a kind of triptych effect.”
Just wondering whether anyone bought the Snapshots from Eōn box set? And more importantly what they think of the set?
Does the book contain interesting information on the making of the application (or otherwise) or is it mostly pictures in a coffee table book? How does it compare to, say, the book included in the Oxygène trilogy box set of 2016?
I recently bought the Eōn app for giggles, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. There is some very nice music to listen to and the graphics are cool too. One can spend quite some time staring at the screen and listening to the music when one should be doing something else, but I guess it's no worse than spending time on social media.
Cheers and Happy Holidays everyone!

Yeah, I have the box set. I think it's interesting enough to have. The vinyl looks fantastic, the CD is neat. The book contains mostly screenshots of the app. There is some sparse information which you can find anywhere too (for example on the website and press releases) and credits of the people who worked on the app. Again, this is also found elsewhere on the internet.
The box is sturdy, and I like the overall packaging.
Speaking of EoN, there's someone who's posting hours of EoN music for a year and a half now. Pretty fun to watch and listen to.
291 €.
