Thinking a lot about Jean Michel Jarre at the moment, on account of his forthcoming Glasgow gig. Mostly along the lines of the 'why have I never actually gone to see him before' kind of thing.
I mean, given the size of the audiences to some of his gigs at Place de la Concorde and La Defense, never mind in Moscow, a sizeable proportion of the population of Europe must have been to just these three gigs.
Anyhow, been going back over Oxygene (obviously) and came across this priceless little video that really works well for Oxygene IV. Sometimes the simplest ideas really are the best. Two minutes and 51 seconds that will make your life that little bit better.
Nice juxtaposition of the ultra-futurist music with a very lo-fi visual aesthetic, optimistic sounding music with an environmentally aware message. Love it.
I'm on my second copy of oxygene these days, but my CD seems to have vanished. No doubt sitting happily in a box with the Faust CDs I've been trying to find for a workmate.
More Jarre on Vive le Roq very soon, including possibly a very exciting Jarre event before the gig in October. Fingers crossed it all comes together, but "very exciting" is the understatement of the year...
