Hi, Just a reminder that if you can't get out to the shops tomorrow you can order the album from the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003ZA6Z/ Both Revolution and Galaxie have links to this on their sites as well. or from Germany http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003ZA6Z/ You can also review it yourself on the site! As for the next single, I don't think "Give me a sign" is a bad choice. Once an album is completed, it's usually the case that the record company decides the single on the basis of "hmm, we want to sell lots of albums, what will do well for us" in that respect I think it's a good choice especially if it features Kate Bush. As for Hey Gagarin, I really hope this is the 3rd single something special like an EP as it's got lots of potential. It was definitely a mistake for them to have cut 2 minutes out of. Jarre hints in Future music that he'd like Orbital to remix a track for him (this could be the delay depending on how busy they are). We live in hope.

After all, this is a > European capital I'm living in. :-) Be prepared for a surprise. It was playing in the shop when I went and bought it (last friday) and I didn't know it was Jarre! I thought it was some weird dance act or something. Strange stuff. I like it, but it's not Jarre, somehow... Anyway, Jake's had 10 copies of the album, unheard of for Jarre. The guy that helped me already knew of six people besides me that wanted to buy it; I was the first though. Chuckie chuckie chuckieeeeee!

As for Hey Gagarin, I really hope this is the 3rd single I was kinda hoping for Je me souviens as a single. Immediately took to that one, needed some time with all the others (including C'est la vie when I bought the single). Je me souviens has a Robert Miles feel to it, that would make it a big hit. > definitely a mistake for them to have cut 2 minutes out of.

It is a short (about one page altogether) interview with Jarre. They mention Musique pour Supermarche, some concert at the Tienamin (sp?) Square (at least that square where the famous student uprise in China began) and the Red Square in Moscow. And of course Houston (NASA headquarters) and the pyramids. The interview itself is mostly bullshit IMHO. Some main points, with my remarks in []: * Asked after the places of his concerts, Jarre replies that it is primarily because of his love for the architecture. He compares his way of composing with an architect designing a building because they have to deal with similar problems during the creative process. * Jarre looks like a Parisian street vagabond. [Did he wear that zebra shirt again? :-)] * He returned just yesterday from a nine month stay in the studio. [Don't take everything Carp writes to literally...] * Jarre shows that new French bands like Daft Punk, Cassius and Air have a long way to go in order to be at the same level as the master. * They talk about Jarre's youth with his grandparrents and the annual circus and some more blah-blah about architecture, circusclowns, and emotions. * He denies that he has a megalomanic character because of his large scale shows. That is because he sees himself just as a part of the spectacle (an element in the big picture) as opposed to a rockstar who in his own draws the attention during the whole show. Furthermore there is a picture that seems to be from the Oxy 7-13 era: Jarre in a chalk line suit.

I thought I was listening to a reprise of Chronologie. The track and all the themes at mp3.com which I downloaded are extremely well made and I'd like to know more info on this band whose members I know are apart of this list. Can I get any more music or perhaps a CD ? Can I get hold of the original version of Dreams of the future ? - -- "Being a scientist is like being a musician.
