much like McCartney with the Rhianna/Kanye West and the getting people like Mark Ronson to produce for him...
i just dont get both JMJ and Macca feel the need to do this stuff, surely they dont lack the confidence and self belief in themselves to say:
"hey,im Paul McCartney..." or
"hey,im Jarre"...
There's an old saying - 'Stick with what you know' or alternatively 'Play to your strengths and not your weaknesses'
I am all for artists trying to break new ground. But that means really trying to do something different, not trying to do something to stay 'in vogue'. If he created a new album using 70's technology and approach it will sell like hot cakes. That's what his fans are waiting for - a return to the days of Oxygene (which I admit he did so extremely well with Oxygene 7-13), Equinoxe & Magnetic Fields. Aero was his last good album.
