Modern Era being say, last thirty-forty years but not the last fifty to seventy though. He's as fantastic a composer for the formulaic music he creates-I agree he ranks among the greats of cinematic composition but his claim to fame being so ingrained in pop culture with Star Wars for me means he kinna squeaked-into the realm of 20th century American composers like Copeland. Bernstein, or Gershwin. I dunno, he's more like a Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer for me, not quite reaching the all-star team of 20th century long-haired first-stringers.

Maybe I'm simply prejudiced against the all-consuming cheese-fog of Star Wars, Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, etc. Maybe I'll try the experiment of listening to one of his compositions without the backdrop of a film. No wait, see I did that-In 77' I bought the double LP of the Star Wars soundtrack (yahhh, I was frikkin' 12) and got bored with it-Never get bored listening to Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite or Ravel's Bolero, though!

Many thanks, enoch

A HUGE thank you for this....... probably the most original thing I've seen in months. I have no idea how old this video is but I detect a major Terry Gilliam influence, I hereby declare this

It's actually from the very Fantasia-esque Italian film Allegro non troppo, which came out in 1976.

Nice call Enoch, I would have done so myself if I'd had the power points.

You're very welcome, Barceps. I'm glad people are enjoying it. Many thanks for the quality as well!

loving your sifted vids btw

Jarre was alerting us of a simple fact that not even pink floyd would've the guts to in their entire career - synth music is kitsch.

If at the time, a video like this could suggest such statement, it's Jarre's recent work that really reivindicates it. Not only has he chosen the ugliest forms of electro/synth music since the 80's, he is immitating the younger ones that take dumps on those same forms.

It seems french people labeled Jarre as a composer on the same basket as contemporary erudite composers. The kind of composers who don't need videoclips but whenever one is out it never is as ridicule as this one.

Jarre is certainly a phenomenon. But look cauciously and on one side he doesn't deliver as Ravel nor as Johnny Haliday on the other side.
