Essential.......2001-08-12

The `concert' starts with The Overture which initially sounds like a slowed version of Magnetic Fields 1. This is a good thing as the track has a wonderful measured quality about it. Anyway it builds into a superb solo. Great opening.

Next comes probably one of the best tracks Jarre has ever written. It's a shame its never been heard of again as Arpegiateur is absolute classic Jarre. If you've never heard this than your certainly missing out. Although it does tend to conjure up certain imagery from Nine and a half weeks.... :P After a great rendition of Equinoxe 4 comes the wonderfully original Fishing Junks at Sunset. A grand mixture of traditional Chinese orchestra and more contemporary synth. Makes for diversity here. The whole tone of the tracks here is rather sober which while Jarre has created a lot of uplifting material the more serious stuff is what turns me on. I plead with any Jarre fan who is thinking about this purchase to buy it.

A title for your review.......2000-10-13

Previously available as a double-CD package, and now as a single CD (but not here), this two-volume set of Jean Michel Jarre's live concerts in China is interesting from a historical point of view, but musically less so. All credit to Jarre for reproducing his music live, but the end result is thinner, less lush, and, with booming 80s drums, much more dated than the albums from which the tunes originate. The handful of original tunes are effective ('Arpeggiator' is particularly good), but it's a shame that they were never released in studio form. Essentially, Jarre's decision to include a light show *and* live music was brave, but let down by contemporary technology.
