Robbie Group: Members Posts: 68 Joined: Jan. 2006 Posted: Dec. 22 2010, 16:42 We can already announce that 2011 will see a new Jean Michel Jarre album. This album is called “Memories & Rarities”, a double CD album which includes hits, inedits and pre-Oxygene material. The launch of the album is due to be held on the three first months of 2011. "Memories & Rarities" will be released, before Jean Michel Jarre gets back to the studio to record new materials. Stay tuned on our website and Facebook page. Note: the brand new album will follow shortly after this release. Back to top

Does this mean that we're liable to expect no more new material from JMJ? His last three releases have all been new versions of old things. Oh well, a rarities collection is always a nice thing. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Yuck. this album has some great tracks but i see your point i think the opening track is very nice, same with OK, do it fast, Partners in crime 2, Vintage and  Melancholic Rodeo. I hope for something like this in the future.. -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

T&T (the title track) is quite nice to me as well, but JMJ had already done simple, uncomplicated, un-Jarre-ish, four-on-the-floor dance music on Méthamorphoses and Aéro (whose title track was, of course, recycled from a Méta track)... I thought he'd had enough of that by the time he did the Téo & Téa album!! Also, "Melancholic Rodeo" is just a preset patch on a groovebox, the Roland MC-808. [OK, JMJ created that patch, but on the actual album track he didn't play anything!!] "Vintage" and "OK" are nearly the same. @ Tati: I've never read the interview you mention, but it's very easy to see why JMJ considers T&T a mistake in his career. It is. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
