0:18: Who's Hugh Jarr?

>> ^Januari:

Yeah pretty hard to avoid all that anti-Gagarin propaganda.


Yeah I've never heard a negative thing abotu Gagarin...I thought they would just ignore him and talk about our own heros.

I wonder if this is live.

Not sure, it may be. google would know.


It's the kind of semi-live that electronica artists tend to do. There are so many instruments that it would require 20+ musicians to play it "real live". Just take a look at J-M Jarres concert where every sound was made live (sorry couldn't find a link).. It is still shame that they don't play the themes. The performance is more "meta", where the actual melodies are not played but their intonation, the emotion part of the sound is manipulated live (timbre, levels, effects etc.)

So to asnwer that, no it isn't "live" but it is live performance.. It all depends on the individuals own definition of live performance... Most electronic artists do their live in this format and as a performer my self, it certainly is as intense as old school live gigs, maybe even more as the technology is fragile.. Anything can go wrong by simply pressing one wrong button, just like in every other kind of performance..

So what I got from this is when you want to have the ultimate lightshow at your concert, the best thing you can do is get a bunch of transformers, position them near the stage and then get them to explode with lightning?


Jean Michel Jarre will be using this technique at future concerts

Sounds a lot like Jean-Michel Jarre.


(which is good)

listen! if you watch this very very stoned, right ... with audio on mute, ok. aaand, and, then you scratch your balls for five minutes writing a comment and searching for rizla you dropped while scratching balls, right, while playing Jean-Michel Jarre's "Zoolook" in the background, backwards - you'll get very very very confused

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.

Wow, I havn't listen to Jeen Micheal Jarre since 1978-79 when a good friend in La Crescenta, named Chad, turned me on to both JMJ and Frank Zappa, thanks for posting this; a true classic, real spaced out music.

Yes, I think you're probably correct there, it's difficult to sell a music sift.

I'd recognised this song every time I heard it, but had no idea what it was called until recently... With a lot of the music sifts here, you don't know what you're getting till you listen. So, it seems to be the case that many tunes don't attract a lot of votes in general. I'm not sure how best to improve the method of advertising, but VideoSift could almost use its own Pandora feature.

So I tried to sexy up the tags a little, and hopefully the bad-arse sunnies will help

I shall have a look about for Equinox too, thanks!

Yeah, this might not get sifted because people probably won't appreciate him, but Jarre is absolutely great. I grew up listening to this record and Equinox, which I actually like a bit better. If you haven't heard that one, I highly recommend it.

Oh and a bit of trivia, his father, Maurice Jarre was the composer of a lot of excellent sountracks for classics such as Dr. Zhivago, Laurence of Arabia, The Man who would be King, and a few others. Definitely a great musical family.
