JEAN MICHEL JARRE & M83 "glory"

latest release from the French synth legend and modern
French synth-pop outift M83....
i have one of M83's albums,its ok, i dont own any of JMJ's
material...
this is off JMJ's soon to be released latest studio album(dont know its title though)
but either way, this was a pleasant listen, much different
from the usual crap but i still dont think i would buy it....
would appreciate a bit of feedback off JMJ fan Jerome on this one
as to how it compares with his back catalogue....

[Music Head]

I don't like it

[Jerome]

Makes two of us. Jarre needs to go back to his 70's material.

[CRAZY-HORSE]

he's just trying to remain 'relevant' in the world of modern music J-Man....
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.
