I'm saddened about so-called "fans" arguing jarre didn't compose his first albums and would be curious about michel's face when he was asked the question…

An excellent interview. Lots of great insights. It can also shut up the cynists who think Geiss' role was bigger than he's credited for.

The Revolution, Revolutions voice was Charlotte Rampling's? Hah I found that funny. :nod:
So basically Geiss is the man behind the outdoor recordings and maintenance of studio equipments and instruments. So the question still remains...
Who composed the music? Factory presets in the 70's? Yeah roight... :pwned:

Great interview! You know, I always thought that the "Revolutions" vocal part from, well, Revolutions sounded different than the other lines. Now there's finally an explanation. :]

I've also always found it funny (to put it politely) how JMJ "fans" are eager to claim that he hasn't composed his music, whereas those who hate JMJ (whether journalists or Tangerine Dream fans, pour instance) probably find it unfathomable that anyone would consider any composition under JMJ's name to be good or even barely listenable. Ah, fandoms.

This certainly not say Tangerine Dream fans .. I'm Tangerine Dream fan :mrgreen: ...a great one ! :smoke: .
But every good artist has envious opponent. There is a saying: Pity you get for nothing, for envy you have to work hard. :wink:

Yes, I like Tangerine Dream as well. Just picked it as the other example since most vitriolic JMJ hate I've ever seen has come from journalists and TD fans. :|

Oh well!

Michel likes pieces of metamorphoses… :peacemaan:
But dislikes David Perreau's work!

He doesn't say exactly this way.

Though, some members on this board, who has very sharp ears, said that Perreau's mastering is weak.
