Bonsoir Jean Michel,
Il y a trente ans déja, je marchais en rythme et d'un pas décidé vers les feux du 14 juillet en écoutant sur ma radio (grande onde, mono pour les plus jeunes) la retransmission du concert de la Concorde.
Bon anniversaire donc, pour le premier de tous ces grands concerts et "Rendez Vous" le 26 mars à Strasbourg.

iHello Jean Michel!

Ok I lied.
I said if I had the money I'd buy Roland AX.
Well I got some money to buy a new synth.
I going to change my music and will leave the Jarre/Vangelis genre and will concentrate on music of the likes of The Crystal Method, Paul Oakenfold, The Chemical Brothers etc.
Mainly because it's fun and as a starting musician you have more people interested in this genre than trying to be the next Jarre or Vangelis.
Maybe later I can incorporate more of your genre into my music but for the time being I will go with phat beats and maybe produce some nice mixes of your old work.

I never had a sampler, I did everything with Cubase but I saw you bought Clavia's Nord Wave. I will do so too, it will give me so much freedom with my own samples and of course the factory sounds and all the packages you can download from their website.
What was your motivation to buy the Nord Wave and can we expect a sound package from you for the Wave?
I would love to see a couple of tweakable sounds from you, sweet!

I wish you all a great time for what lies ahead and I hope you will be able to find my mixes of your music on Youtube.

Many greetings,
Zwoekie

Quel bonheur en effet que de lire un article en français et surtout quelle joie de savoir que je vais enfin avoir la chance d’assister à votre concert à Bordeaux le 17 mars 2010 avec ma fille ! J’en rêve depuis ma plus tendre enfance et voilà que ce vœu très cher va enfin se réaliser : ce sera un souffle d’oxygène intense !
Vos musiques n’ont jamais cessé de bercer mon imaginaire et j’espère avoir à la faire encore longtemps.
Merci infiniment et au plaisir de vous rencontrer avec votre équipe ce jour-là.

JarreUK and JMJ.com put online news (dates in this case) when they have all confirmed!
So these are confirmed dates, then a break again and tour will continue in other month of 2010 ?

Jean Michel,

Also...news on new dates...?

merci à vous d'être là.

Que de bonnes nouvelles, en espérant que je saurais trouver facilement les cd à suivre car, heureusement que nous n'habitons pas trop loin de la France.

Mon mari sera encore sur son nuage, le jour où je vais lui offrir de nouvelles places pour vos concerts mais cette fois, je prend mes enfants avec moi. Et qui sait, le plus beau cadeau que je puisse lui donner, c'est de vous rencontrer mais ça, je garde un petit espoir.

Je vous connais depuis vos débuts et j'adore.

Merci pour tout ce que vous faîtes et ferez encore pour nous, vos fans.

For someone who has eagerly followed your carrer since the 80's, it's has been so reviving to suddenly get all this insight in the life around your projects. In the past, I could only relate to your albums, concert videos and what other people wrote about you. Today, I read your own words, and I see yourself talk about what you're up to. I'm moved by your efforts to approach your audience in ways that others in your position often neglect. May your new website be easy to update!

2009-06-13T10:00:47.116-07:00

Hi Robi,

That shows how Jean Michel is loved all around the world if fans are counting on his concerts. He will always do his best to make it happened and if not, he will try his best.

For me, I apologise for being greedy but really hope he comes back to the UK real soon.

Best regards.

2009-06-13T08:33:25.286-07:00

Jean Michel,

fans are really counting on your concerts throughout the world ! From Canada to Argentina...from France to Australia...from New-Zealand to Brasil.
Try to do your best to make them happy. ;-)

2009-06-11T23:05:40.062-07:00

Dear Jean Michel,

thinking of improvement is always the right way, and although the first leg was a good concert I can't wait to see the second leg next year on the proposed shows here in Germany. It's right, that some tracks were missing, and some have been worn out slightly. It was great way back in 1997 to start the show with your ingenoius "Oxygene 7" and the laser harp. It would be also great to include your vocals more on the show, some tracks from "Metamorphoses" were great, so why not play "Rendez-vous à Paris", "Hey Gagarin" oder "Bells"? Some "Aero" tracks would also fit, and although I didn't like the "Téo & Téa" album (to be honest), a track like "Touch to remember" would round up a tracklist even to the last output you had. The Gdansk concert may give you a hint of a fine selection, mix this through, add some variations and bring in your voice - I bet you'll dazzle the audience once more like you did all the time.
Have a great creative time with your team, best regards from Germany,
Jens

2009-06-11T06:47:47.006-07:00

Salut je m'appel Jérôme et je te suis a peu près partout depuis l'âge de 13 ans j'en ai 19 bon tout ça pour dire que ça sera cool que tu fasses un concert géant en France parcque j'ai pas eu la chance de connaître ça. Je sais que tu ne décides pas pour faire les concerts géant enfin c'est tout d'abord par une demande que tu les faits.
Mais bon s'il te plait ca serait énorme!

A part ça vivement la tournée Française. A oui et puis ça sera sympa qu'on soit debout dens la fosse parceuq les chaises ça restreint le nombre de personnes.

Allez la France t'adore et puis un dernier petit truc. J'ai rarement vu une personne aussi proche de son public que toi parceque les séances de dédicaces improvisé ça j'aime.

2009-06-11T00:22:14.770-07:00

Jean Michel,

Thank you for the first leg of the tour. I thought it was good you are right to consider major improvements for the second leg of the tour.

The light show was fantastic and I don't mind the lack of images but it was missing something but I can't quite put my finger on it....

Musically it was good and I loved Calypso 3, your solos were excellent. But the tracklisting still has some tracks you've played many times: Oxygene 12, Chronologie 6. I think it would be good to replace them with Revolutions and something from Zoolook.

With the encore it would be good to play something other than Oxygene 4 as it was only played 3 tracks before hand. It felt very strange not to end your concert with Rendezvous 4. I missed that.

I hope the French gigs will be standing and not seated! :)

Thanks again for a very good set of concerts. Good luck for the next leg.

Col.

2009-06-10T23:51:09.479-07:00

Merci Jean-Michel, nous avons hâte de connaître ces fameuses dates ! Qu'il est difficile d'en trouver pour l'instant sur votre site ou ailleurs... Nous qui sommes de Lyon, avons ainsi appris votre passage en Suisse que la veille. C'est malheureux car autrement, nous aurions pu réaliser l'un de nos rêves :-). Vivement donc les dates de l'année prochaine ! Et encore un grand merci pour tout ce que vous faites pour la Musique.

2009-06-10T22:50:56.578-07:00

Armin Van Buuren écoutait ta musique quand il allait au Lycée il mettait un gros casque et écoutait ta musqiue. Pour Tiesto le plus grand DJ du Monde pour lui t'as été une grande source d'inspiration et le moins que l'on puisse dire c'est que ses concerts géants ont été très influencés par ce que tu a fait. Je suis un de tes plus grand fan et comme souvent Tiesto et toi vous êtes liés pour les fans. Donc merci pour tout ce que tu fais car sans toi on aurait pas eu cette magie de Tiesto.

Please consider coming to Los Angeles.

Would be a beautiful thing plus you could see David Lynch's most recent exhibition of photos at the Michael Kohn Gallery.

May inspire you...

Peace.

2009-06-10T18:51:37.970-07:00

Do you ever rest? :-)

I'm very glad to see you always pushing the envelope and keep on bringing your trademarked kind of mistical magic to music and sharing it so magically (pardon the redundance).

I once targetted making music for a living, something that prooved not being necessary (luckily or not), and your music taught me so much without the need of words, it pushed me forward - it still does.

How do you do it? I now calmly write music to feel and share life, as I feel you give intensily in every note you produce and over see, as you most certainly share it in every concert.

That's something I'm grateful for. Your inspiration creates and forces creation, and anyone causing me to be better without resistance, if not a master, is a friend.

Thank you, Jean-Michel. Keep'em coming!

Kind Regards,
AMR

Hi Jean Michel, Louis or Thomas. I want to thank ...

2009-06-10T18:05:30.201-07:00

Hi Jean Michel, Louis or Thomas.

I want to thank you, Jean Michel, for your concert in Amsterdam. You have given me a lot of inspiration. I'll try to combine your music genre with that of Akira Yamaoka with a drum & bass character.
You are the one who got me starting writing my own music in the first place, well you, Vangelis and David Sylvian. Thank you for that.

Sometimes its hard to not try to get in contact with you because you're such a nice man. I've read in the tourbook that you really want to get closer to your fans but lets face it, you've become too big to realize such a thing.
But the DVDs and blogs are a good substitute.

I will always look up to you for inspiration and will try to do some cover work from Chronology.
Please ask Louis to check his aeroblog account(the account as owner of the domain), I've sent him a request, I would be very happy if he did what I asked, if its the right Louis, that is. LOL!
Sometimes I forget the huge distance between you as a performer and me as a mere fan.

I hope I'll have my new studio up and running very soon, so I can concentrate on writing music.
The modular patches I'm after will come to me in the end.

Please listen to synth.nl his new cd that he gave you and the guys in Amsterdam, he would really like that. He is a great guy to mail with.

I really hope you will have a blast the rest of the tour.

If I had the money I'd buy a Roland AX keytar it sounded breath taking. I was searching for that sound since I heard "fin de ciècle" on Calypso and Vangelis' The City "nerve centre".

I wish you all @jarreteam a great time and I hope I'll have the oppertunity to talk to Jean Michel once in my life, it would be an enormous honour. But the odds are slim. Mais c'est la vie, n'est pas, mes amis?

Have a great tour and take care.

Au revoir!

Zwoekie ;-)

Greetings from the U.S. of A., Jean-Michel! I've been a fan since the early 80's, I love your music--you are the best! Please remember your fans in America when you plan "Leg 2"; I've heard you are looking at LA and NYC, but Charlotte, NC is nice too!

C U soon!

C'est fantastique de lire ça! J'étais présent à Bruxelles le 27 mai dernier et c'était magique! 23 ans que j'attendais cela! Vivement que l'on prenne connaissance des dates françaises!! Merci encore Jean-Michel pour ces moments de bonheur intense pour nos oreilles et pour nos yeux!
A bientôt j'espère!
Julien

2009-06-10T13:03:33.731-07:00

Dear Jean Michel,

Thanks a lot for your blog. We (me, my wife and my 13 years old son) were disappointed of a little bit calm audience in Ostrava, Czech Republic. And the arena was not sold out too. But we hope you'll return to Czech Republic with your music and show as soon as possible. It would be better in Prague - Oxygene in O2 Arena was the greatest gig we have ever seen (and felt).

Thank you so much.
