In reading zilty I have noticed some negative references to Jarre. Of course he's quite a bit more popular than the average IDM musician, but I haven't seen anyone give a good reason as to why they don't like his music. So why don't some people like Jarre around here? Is my observation that Jarre is widely disliked here even accurate...? I will admit that some of his stuff is kind of cheesy... |

He predates intelligence in electronic music. But he's quite awesome anyway, I've never noticed any anti-Jarre movement... how could anyone dislike Equinoxe? |
||||||||
|

I could be confusing xltronic with watmm. What do you mean by predating intelligence in electronic music? What about the early electronic composers? Did electronic music only gain intelligence when "intelligent" dance music was born? |

Intelligence inschmelligence, I was being tongue in cheek. I haven't seen you around in a long time though so maybe I should have used a smiley of some sort. |

Oh, sorry. Unfortunately, the internet is not a great apparatus for expressing or interpreting sarcasm. And yes, I haven't been around here in quite some time. What kinds of things are going on with xltronic? It doesn't look like it's changed substantially...I'll reserve judgment on whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. |

I don't need to a give good reason why I find that the pompous clown's overblown bombast gets right up my shitter and I'd rather listen to my roof being damaged by a reckless labourer than any of his bloody work. Ugh, makes my ears feel like they've been farted into. |

The Concerts In China is enjoyable tho, right? |

Jarre is extremely cheesy... ...but I like it. It just sounds so nostalgic to me, but I'm not sure why. I'm pretty sure I never heard Jarre when I was little, but whenever I listen to Oxygene, I feel like a kid again. It's cheesy and light, but there is a time for cheesy and light. And you gotta love the old school synth sounds. |

16 CD's I have. |

I like Oxygene. It sounds a little dated 2 me now but I still think it's awesome and yeah, nostalgic. |

I bought a best of Jarre ages ago but never listened to it all the way through. Mostly shit. |

some local in my pub was wearing a jmj t-shirt. "hey" says i. "nice shirt" "hey thanks, you a fan?" he says "he's ok. pretty good. only have 2 cds" i say "here have all his music he ever made on these compilations" he says "gee, thanks" i say i have an awful lot of jarre now. i dunno when i'm going to get round to listening to it all |

Some of his stuff is great. "Zoolook" is enjoyably bonkers. |

Jean Michel Jarre is like Kenny G |
||||||||

fucking clean synths ever, fuck you! |
||||||||
|

Who carries around with them the complete works of Jarre? The more I hear of this pub of yours, the murkier it seems. |

he is pretty good overall. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know why he mimes everything live, though. It's appalling. It's not like most of those lead melody lines are that hard to play, is it? |
||||||||
|

i love his music, but i could do without that pseudo-wankbag paul mccartney chirpy optimism bollocks when i grow up im gonna get me one of those synths bigger an a house he has |
||||||||

I like the one he used in Paris with the light-up keys. The lazer harp's obviously pretty cool, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

laser harp kicks ass AFAIK he held the world records for the biggest attendance at concerts for a long time in the 70s and 80s and broke his own record more than once. he must have been popular once |

I like some of his stuff, it's rather interesting. But most of it is shit. |
||||||||

pure nostalgia over and over listening to jarre. But come on, everyone loves Oxygen right? Afaik Oxygen 4 is the most popular song in the world, even my neighboor's kid who's 11 knows this track ! |

i'm not into it - too fucking airy-fairy, namby-pamby, wishy-washy, and french. |

It's probably the first electronic music i've ever heard. My older brother had a tape with him i listened to often for myself. I guess it coloured my youth a bit, so i do have a nostalgic feeling about his older stuff. Nowadays he's a playback wanker. |
