Another thing. Jean-Michel's father is Maurice Jarre, who did the music for "Dr. Zhivago" and "Witness" among others.

Oops! smiley - erm I keep forgetting that first rule, and that's the reason why Brad Pitt flatly refuses to have anything to do with me.smiley - sadface

Spookier still, there's currently an anti-cat thread on AskH2G2. I don't think it's the same cat, but you can't be too careful.

Ah, yes Maurice Jarre did the music for The Year of Living Dangerously. I like his music. Will check out the link for Jean-Michel.

That anti-smiley - cat thread's penultimate post is 3 years old or so, and then someone posted 42 minutes ago. Never seen that before. I can't imagine people are so impassioned about their cats that they've been sitting waiting for 3 years just to get an answer.

I wonder if Brad Pitt has a cat, or even an imaginary one, like mine

Hmmmm, I will have to see if the library has any of Jean-Michel's albums. They sound interesting/good.

*Goes to reread Journal now that I know who he is*

Try and get Oxygene or Equinoxe if you can. I'm sure you won't regret it.

smiley - ok I find it interesting that "the secret life" was funny in a surreal sort of way, even before I knew who it was. Just thinking there's this guy, that likes to come up with weird sounds and straps fireworks to his car. smiley - laughsmiley - laughsmiley - laugh

Did someone mention my name?


*giggles* I only found this thread by a convoluted route and low, I find Dr Deckchair monkeying about with the family Jarre - nice one Dr D smiley - winkeye

Well, he'll be getting out of the contract with Sony soon (you could tell with the last 2 albums it wasn't working, couldn't you? smiley - laugh) and back to his old self...and there'll be DVD's a coming smiley - biggrin

Seen him twice, y'know...

...some people might call me a fan, I dunno... smiley - laugh

Doesn't JMJ's clock strike fourteen times for midnight instead of twelve?

When I was younger, I used to say that some day, he would organise a concert on the moon. It's only later I became aware he'd already come up with such an idea smiley - doh

He could use it as a screen, just as the sky above Houston smiley - smiley.

He'd probably use it as a subwoofer and bounce the sound of Saturn.

I didn't know about the Sony thing, daSilva, but I have to say I quite like "Sessions 2000". Real spooky jazz .... nice. I don't know how he would do that one in concert though. I saw him once at Wembley on the Oxygene 2 tour. Took about 3 days to recover.

Saw that tour at teh NEC here in Brum DD, it was rather good wasn't it? smiley - winkeye

(Managed to see the Chronologie tour as well, that was big!)

Was going to go see the Aero concert last September in Aalborg but couldn't afford it - saw the webcast though, it wsa mostly dance/pop versions of his tunes - just him and one other guy on stage joined by Safri Duo for the encore...

It was a great show indeed. Like being pumped full of nitro-glycerin and wired up to the mains for a bit. Afterwards, all the normal stuff just looked lumpy.. smiley - weird

Not so much a rock concert, an experience in sheer audio visual pleasure smiley - winkeye
