BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

2 pages of interview. JMJ talks about new album (this summer he's going to work on it), Australia project linked to the new album, Jelling convinced Jarre to play more on festivals.

Thankx Jones!
I'm fine with all the things can be read in this interview!

/You may put on JMJ facebook? Many fans can read it...at least, what we can read in the article.

I don't have the magazine (yet), just got this from a friend who lives in Paris.

Hope there will be scans, please.

That sounds great!!!

Crap

What crap???????????

I have also heared about it and I think it sounds great! This would be an amazing Australian project!!!

Well, I think he commented "crap" on Jarre participating on more festivals.

WARNING!! Do NOT play Oxygene 4 (and stuff like that) to an 2012 festival audience.. Not if you want to stay RELEVANT & be taken SERIOUSLY...

I understand you had to play it 20 years ago, but times has changed (In case you didn´t notice)...

This really... I really would like him to focus fully on the new album, and then give one major concerd, then doing a new album, while still giving concerts every day... I really doubt that will work out good

Tell U2 they shouldn't play "Where the streets have no name" anymore...

Or Paul Mc Cartney "Yesterday"...

This was OK 20 years ago...

You can´t compare U2 with Jarre, U2 is rock, and if they play "Where the streets have no name" on a big festival/or on their own tour, it will sound big, rocky and modern enough. Why? Well, co´s it´s Rock! If Jarre plays out Oxygene 4 on a big festival, well... It will STILL sound like the track from 76´ being performed in 2012... Did I really have to explain that for you?

Opinions.....

new album + one major concert , worked well for Docklands, PLD...

I wonder why a fan would think that a major concert and a new album together would fail. It's mystery.

Why would cause shock if people would listen to track of 1976 in 2012?
Beside , anyway, it is more than true that he MUST do concerts with BRAND new tracks, but skipping a hit just because some people think "why a '76 music in 2012".....hmm....

It is merely ridiculous to think for Jarre only in this issue. The majority of musical acts should then forget their initial, breakthrough hits.
