Electronica 2: The Heart of Noise - Jean-Michel Jarre

This has been subjected to massive bad reviews, in some ways justifiable but I feel like people are sort of looking at wrong. Like if it were Kraftwerk it would be forgiven as adorable camp instead of pathetic kitsch. Jarre, who perhaps more than any other shamelessly married ectronics and pop deserves more leeway. He did study with Pierre Schaeffer. I also think it’s cool he samples Edward Snowden. It’s not that I don’t get that this album has shortcomings; it’s that I think it’s the wrong way to look at it.

Side note: Jean-Michel Jarre has played three exceptionally huge concerts.

Rendez-vous Houston: A City in Concert

This 1986 event was at the time the largest concert ever with over a million people in attendance.

Spoiler for img:

Paris La Défense – Une Ville En Concert

In 1990, he broke the record again with a staggering attendance of over 2 million in Paris.

And over 3 Million in Moscow

Spoiler for img:

Damn. Those Russians will come out for a free show!

Track from the record
