Sorry to all those who find his stuff annoying, cheesy, and overly bombastic...I just had to start a new thread about Jarre. :-) He was actually the first "electronic" artist I listened to (after being mainly into classical music during my childhood) and I've always liked many of his albums, in particular Oxygene 70-13, Zoolook, Equinox, and Chronologie. |

i learnt to dislike him. (still like some songs secretly though!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heheh. Well, I see no incombatibility between his stuff and the music discussed here! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, in that case moby is compatible as well (i secretly like some of his songs as well), but people still think he's a jerk, so i started to think that as well now..i've been here for +3years.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imho, Jean Michel Jarre, for all his cheese, is ligh years ahead of Moby. Although I must admit to liking the occasional Moby song too. ;-) Provides an nice antidote to Richard Devine-esque music. |

CS2x, Thaks for listening to my advice. :-) You can say what you want i love Jarre, an it will not change. He`s my musical hero, although I don`t like all his stuff, he made some very deep, beautifull and innovative music back in the days (and still does). Many of his works made me cry, I felt thrilled, inspired etc, etc... even though he`s music is not always of the highest standard, he represents the romantic approach to music which will always be close to my heart. 1. Zoolook 2. Rendez-Vous 3. Oxygene 4. Equinoxe 5. Oxygene 7-13 6. Magnetic Fields 7. Geometry of Love 8. Chronologies 9. Metamorphoses 10. Revolutions |

And what about Maurice Jarre???? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i wasn't comparing their music, it's just a fact that they're really unpopular here on this board for some reason..im guessing it's got something to do with greed..perhaps.. |

This is the real Zoolook! |

Jean Michel Jarre was the first electronic artist i'd ever heard - I grew up listening to his stuff because my parents were into his music. If it wasn't for the music that I was subjected to at an early age, I don't think I'd be listening to the stuff I am currently listening to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh my... If you don`t want to get even more annoyed with Jarre please don`t visit his official website. Over the years he created a self-promoting institution that doesn`t fit me at all, and this site is simply shite. On the other hand, when one had sold over 50 million record, one is obliged.... But as for a 57 year-old he looks... I don`t get it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean Jeanmicheljarre.com? I don't think he had much input with that website...but it is appalling. :-( I'm surprised you put Chronologie so far down the list. Parts 1-4 are very uplifting and quite unusual in places (although there are cringeworthy moments, I can forgive them easily due to the overall quality of the music.) And what about Waiting for Cousteau? The 42-minute ambient track on that is lovely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats his music sound like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aahhh, the order is not at all important... I`ve put it so low because from track 4 the records becomes boring. Waiting for Cousteau is v. good, but i don`t treat as a proper record (the third track is superbly intense at the end). The ambient track is a class of it`s own, I`ve read many books with it as a background. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It ranges from over-the-top cheesy shite to powerful and affecting pieces of music. I actually find the majority of it enjoyable. As a Steve Roach fan, I'm sure you'd appeciate the 42-minute long "Waiting for Cousteau" track. :) |
||||||||
|

reccomend me an album. oh btw I really enjoyed that robert rich album. don't know if I mentioned that yet :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad you enjoyed Fissures! Do you have a favorite track? I'd reccommend Oxygene, Oxygene 7-13 or Waiting for Cousteau (only the last track) for the more ambient side of Jarre's work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no favorite track as of yet, but it will come, when it comes to that kind of music, i choose my favorites by the way they treat my mind while either sleeping or on drugs. they become special in a sense, sort of sentimental. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first electronic music i heard was tangerine dream and it scared me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check Zoolook, mostly because of the first and last track, and Magnetic Fields. And "Souvenir of China" as a separate track, it`ll give you a good idea of what is his music all about. And maybe Geometry of Love, also; the sound is more "modern" and chilled, with some graeat improvisations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, don't check zoolook. apart from it being piss poor, it isn't representative of his style AT ALL. if you've not heard anything by him before, listen to oxygene and equinoxe, and if you like them go on from there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tangerine Dream's early work is excellent stuff. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I can't believe your turning your back on tracks 1 and 2 in Waiting for Coustou CS2x, Track one always makes my heart lift and smile while track 2 reminds me passionately of communist russia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think his best Album is Revolutions and his best track is Rendez Vous 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I do like tracks 1-3 on WFC but the fourth is the most subtle and atmospheric imo. Part two is an overlooked epic, imo. |

in the words of bill bailey... "jean michel jarre is a fraud jean michel jarre is a fraud jean michel jarre is a fraud" :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well yeah, he does mime at some of his shows. It doesn't change the fact he's done some damn nice albums, however. :) That bill bailey song is pretty funny though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
entertainment is entertainment, just becaause he may mime sometimes you can't take away the fact that his music has brought joy to millions of pan-generations |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, he kicks ass. cheesy synths 4 evar or something! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Souvenir of CHina is a great arty song....loving those camera shutters :D |
||||||||

"But did you see that as a way of getting to where you wanted to go?" "Yeah, and then I moved into electronic music. I moved into the Music Research Centre headed by Pierre Schaeffer, and at that time you only had two centres One - Musique Concrete, Pierre Schaeffer and the other one was Stockhausen in Koln where I went as well in Germany. But I really considered Pierre Schaeffer as my master." From an interview. Pretty interesting... |

I must say eversince Sessions 12 was released i've been disillusioned with JMJ, but you can't discredit his name as a synth genious. |

The monster returns! 2DVD+CD |
||||||||
|
|

Yessss! This and the live Kraftwerk DVD well be electronic heaven for me. :-) |

An a financial disaster!! |

I'll just sell my old sampler. ;-) |

That is the zenith of coolness right there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ZOOLOOK IS BLOODY FANTASTIC! Great avant-garde + Linn drum funk + early sampling = great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Okay there is a disproportionately large Jarre appreciation here. It is insane. In an effort to correct this, J M Jarre is a cock sucking posturing cheese merchant listened to by new age losers and balding Yes/Genesis fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

So the cosmic equalibrium is restored and the universe is safe, of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

STFU. |

|

| |||||||||
|

Hahah :D |
