Self proclaimed "Godfather of Electronic Music" - Jean Michel Jarre - have made an enormous amount of totally lame music, in my opinion. Do you guys think he deserves any credit, or do you think - like me - that he is nothing but a....Pink Floyd of instrumental music? I must admit that I can still kinda like his 1982 album "Concerts in China", but after that he has just released pompous crap! I really laughed when I found out that Funkstörung had remixed him. What a nice way to take the piss! I think he is overrated! What do you think? |

I agree. Hate all his stuff. |

Download his version of "Popcorn". It's hilarious. |

I have been known to mix Jarre's Popcorn with FSOL's Papua New Guinea -works quite well, actually. |

I have never heard any of his albums. I remember seing one of his conserts on tv as a child. Calypso music ???? big lasers n shit |

i enjoy Zoolook, good album. i'd love a go on some of them machines he made though, the laser beam organ thingy. |

i love his early work -- if you dismiss him, then you're a dumb motherfucker |

1: Jarre is not "self-proclaimed" god father of electronic music...that thing started when he signed up with Sony Music back in 1997, in their press releases they declared him that..it was a marketing thing THEY made up and various media kept on calling him that too...from interviews i read with him he seems quite modest and he certainly didn't proclaim him self god-father of anything. 2: Oxygene and Equinoxe are two of the most influential and significant albums in electronic music. Jarre can quite accurately say that he is the first electronic composer to gain a significant world audience...and he no doubt helped spread and popularise electronic music and without him it wouldn't be the same today. 3: What exactly do you have against his music? What’s wrong with oxygene and equinoxe's beautiful melodies and textures? They are a great example of early analogue synths music, and as opposed to Tangerine Dream music for example, they are very natural sounding imho, not metallic like Rubycon and Pheadra 4: he made shitloads of music, his style varies dramatically. he has a 47 min ambient track called Waiting for Cousteau that i think is easily as good as any Brian Eno or RDJ ambient track... |

5: he made some amazing experimental music, for example Zoolook, its one of the first albums to use digital sampling techniques and is the first to use the legendary Fairlight Samplers... he used over 25 languages in the recording of this album..the amount of effort that was put into it is incredible... Ethnicolor is an epic track download it..and download Ethnicolor 2 6: his latest album in 2000 showed that he still has great ability imho, a track on it called Miss Moon is so fuckin good, I really think if some ppl here bother to dwnld it they are likely to enjoy it…he samples a water sprinkler throughout and integrates its sound brilliantly in the track which has some amazing effects and comes complete with weird chanting women |

7: his concerts are like no other. He quite literarily paints the sky and buildings with colours. He designs shows that use huge projections, videos, animations, lasers, lighting effects, fireworks and shitloads more effects that he perfectly synchronizes to his music while literarily transforming entire cities into pieces of art. They are FUCKIN massive, and are often attended by MILLIONS of ppl, they take fuckin ages to prepare, he puts a huge amount of effort and thought into his shows, the amount of creativity, skill and genius displayed in these shows are incredible Finally Jean Michel Jarre deserves credit because he is fuckin good, he is a true artist, he puts effort and thought into his work, and he is a significant influence. End of discussion. |

Boy, Salma, you never understate things, do you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on Jand, after all that how can you be so rude. I'd hate to have to fight Salma as he's obviously very well prepared. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe :)... |

My father used to dig JMJ so I was exposed to his stuff as of early childhood. Therefore I hate it. Nothing personal about it, obviously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's currently humping a french actress who's name i forgot actually...no big dog cocks as far as i no... i'm a bit pissed off now tho since i noticed that the guy who posted this blasphemous anti jarre post isn't online to read my epic reply |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well listen to more of his stuff and u might start liking it... download Miss Moon it will make u cool): |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey, Salma, i really appreciated your detailed and systematic defense of JMJ. I'm on your side. I just can't stand the guy for reasons not really of musical nature. It has to do with my *sob* unhappy and miserably childhood... Ooooh, never mind me, I wish you all the best... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is (was) pretty good but perhaps his music seems better if u see him live with laser shows and all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant "miserably spent childhood", when i start crying my syntax goes to hell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used to have a few albums by him. I had most of them actually. I loved em and thought they were great. Then I woke, the scales fell from my eyes and I discovered that he actually was shit and what the hell did I ever hear in him? The only JMJs I still have are Chronologie Pt6 - the Slam & Gat Decor Remixes and Waiting For Cousteau (cos the title track is the only one I still like: 46 minutes of ambience - rather good still that one) So... yeah... big dog's cock |
||||||||

You know I won't do that. I tend to be OK with everyone. if I dislike somebody I just ignore them rather than fight them/ talk shit about them. Just my style, heh. |

Haha, tell me about it. I am at another messageboard too (video games related) and I have only 15 posts on it and have already been called: -retard -goatfucker -cocksucker -idiot -woman-molester I think they like me. |
||||||||

|
|
lol women-molestor... good insult i think i'll adopt that i think we could argue that everyone is naturally a bitch....except us well behaved Aphex Twin fans .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually, that woman-moilester insult came from a girl after I posted this link (that was originally posted by giginger here) http://www.deviantonline.com/article.php?sid=138 and said that it made me laugh. She decided that I am a sicko that would probably try one (or all) of these things on a girl, providing I could find one in the first place. |

haha meho this is a treasure...its fuckin halarious...thank you for giving me a reason to live u women-molestor u..): "Dirty Sanchez - While banging a girl doggy style, quickly stick 2 fingers deep into her starfish, then reach around and wipe the residue on her upper lip, providing her a mustache. " "Hot Lunch - While receiving head from a woman, you shit on her chest. (a.k.a. the Cleveland Steamer) " |

Yeah, I acted the same way, I pasted like ten entries from that on the thread I originally started to promote Murcof's music. I ruined my own thread, that's how good that shit is. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
its very funny...and jarre is good but salma has to go to sleep...so c u later): |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Just imagine all this Jarre talk was just a dream... night...:).. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
nite salma. Jand: er, you do realize that nazi comment was a joke? You are not going to do anything horrible to my avatar/ account/ number of posts, are you? And, yeah, Murcof kills, i was just enraged that no-one here ever mentioned him save for that milkfactory guy in one post. Everyone into AFX will dig Murcof i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There was a bit about him in The Wire recently...just one of 1/2 page little articles they do... I'm trying to remember this other guy who's tracks I was getting into at the weekend...something like "arkfur" or "akkfun" ????? ...close to Murcof sonically... and no I won't do anything horrible to ya...cause I just know you'd get off on it somehow..;).... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahhhahah, yeah, you know me inside out, don't ya? Yeah, i've borrowed most of my newer issues of the wire to a friend so i can't find that feature now, but I do remember him being done. He's g.r.e.a.t., fullstop. That other thing is akufen, innit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah., AKUFEN..that's the one...I'm such a dyslexic spastic when it comes to names like that... But yeah, cool music tho... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haven't heard akufen yet, but if it's anything like murcof, I'll have to give it a run. Thanks for the tip. |

I always felt the guys making that kind of music intended to become the mozarts and beethovens of the 20th century, so in that case it sucks |
