'Anthology of Electronic Revisited Originals'

Or AERO for short. What is it? it's the new album by Jean-Michel Jarre. Those who know me well I'm sure know how keen I am on this genius's music and what he's done for electronic music as whole.
The album has been in creation for ages (ever since the AERO concert in Denmark 2002), it's actually a best-of album + 3 new tracks. You might think that he's already released loads of best-of albums, but this one is different. The tracks are remixed and also distributed in pure DVD audio 5.1 format! The album comes as a double AudioCD/DVD-Audio pack so even if you don't have DVD audio yet you can still listen to the tracks on CD. Jarre had to engineer the album himself as he couldn't find an audio engineer in the world to help (www.jarre.net)
I'm fortunate enough to have a 5.1 audio card that supports DVD audio + 5.1 speaker system. Believe me, DVD audio is THE WAY FORWARD! I've sampled it's delights and it is a truely amazing aural experience, placing you right in the music. Just the thought of listening to classic Jarre tracks in this format makes me drool!
A sneak preview of the new AERO website is at www.jeanmicheljarre.com
The album is due for release on 22/09/04 all across Europe. It's going to be a long, hard wait....
Till later, good delicious!
