Alas, the official for CD is cédé, and mail is supposed to be mél. And Darth Vader is Dark Vador. Back to top

Same here!!!   Jarre...seems a long time since he has released something really,really exciting...[/I] So does Mike too.   Back to top

My gripe with Jarre is that his electronic sounds are too simplistic and his melodies too obvious. I also hate the video of Oxygene where he plays golf with planet earth. Back to top

HA...I suppose you haven't seen a Jarre concert yet personally... Anyway if you don't like him, you don't buy this album. Simple as that. Back to top

Good point, seeing him live explains: playing with gloves require simplistic melodies. Back to top

Why would one want to watch a Jarre video? Either way, I'm still unsure on Jarre's melodies being "obvious": many excellent melodies are very obvious... after having been written. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

I generally like his videos, because they are like winamp plugins, lights synchronized to the music, contrary to the other guys who show you distracting movies that have nothing to do with the music.
