JMJ Oxygene 3

[James R. Coplin]

I so feel your pain on the house problem. We have been doing a major 
remodel here now and it has been over a year. Almost all of my stuff and 
100% of my music making stuff has been in storage for that time. It came 
really close to breaking me a couple of times. Another month or so and I 
should finally be on the other side of it and start to get my life back.

> As far as I'm concerned Oxygene 3 sounds like a so-so'ish backing

> I feel Jarre has completely lost his mojo.

> Since we're on the subject of "old" musical heroes, I sort of had a 
> similair experience when I went to a Peter Gabriel concert a couple of 
> years ago. After 15 minutes I realised that I didn't like the 
> "acoustic" set in the beginning at all, a bit later I was underwhelmed 
> by new arrangements of his songs, and overall I was shocked to see 
> that my all time favourite musical hero was now an old man in a weird 
> coat.

> Afterwards I also realized that I, myself, was becoming an old man in 
> a weird coat, and I didn't like it...

> Something else I don't like - there's a complete bathroom renovation 
> going on at my house. One and a half week ago I felt some of the tiles 
> under my feet move, and I called the housing department. We went from 
> "just glueing the stones back" to "complete renovation" in a couple of 
> hours, and now we suddenly are in this huge mess.
> The whole thing will take 2,5-3 weeks. There's loads of strangers 
> going in and out, making a terrible amount of noise, using our 
> bathroom, eating at my dining room table, burping, shouting, leaving 
> the door open all the time (it's cold!). And they start work at 7:30 
> in the morning, so I have to get up at 7:00. Oh, and we have to shower 
> at some neighbours house.
>
> Looking forward to the end of this...
>
> Cheers from a rather grumpy me.

> A couple of years ago, I've been really a hardcore fan of Jean Michel.
> After he went out of the path and started to release 
> strange/commercial albums (Teo&Tea, Geometry of Love, Sessions 2000, 
> Electronica, etc) I've narrowed my fan'ism (haha) to only old albums.
>
> Last Friday, I've got newest album from JMJ and.... WOW! I can hear 
> old Jarre again.
> Ok, it's not as beautiful like first few albums, but it's definitelly 
> old Jarre again. No more mass-commercial crap.
>
> Especially Oxy 15 and 16 are great.
>
> What are your thoughts?
