Jean-Michel Jarre ‎– Planet Jarre (50 Years Of Music)

I am tired of the usual songs on his compilations.
I thought the arrangement into sections on this was a nice approach.
I liked the attempt to key match between some songs.
For me edm style production makes JMJ music very bland.
I used to DJ, I have listened to edm since early 90s.
For me it is now very repetitive with cheesy buildups which I find a cheap gimmick.
There are so many amazing edm songs and JMJ is very late to try making edm.
I honestly think JMJ is not an interesting edm artist, I skip those songs.
The selected excerpt from Musique Pour Supermarché seemed useless.
Why not just release the whole original Musique Pour Supermarché remastered and be done with it already?
Overall for me this compilation wasn't interesting enough to listen when I can just hear the original versions on albums.
I'd like to see a compilation mixing pieces which have had less attention recently like:

Oxygene VII (after 8:00)
Oxygene IX
Oxygene XIII
Equinoxe II
Equinoxe III
Les Chants Magnetiques I (after 7:10)
Les Chants Magnetiques III
The Overture
Fifth Rendez-vous (I, II or III)
Wooloomooloo
...and the gloriously beautiful and futuristic:
Ethnicolor II

There's beautifully crafted songs that are less played that he perhaps ignores in favour of the usual songs..
I want less of the usual songs and no bland EDM.
I realise my opinion means nothing but it's what I would like to see.

An OK compilation of JMJ classics, newer tracks and rarities. Sadly, I found the pressing quality very poor. A few clicks and pops (especially the first two vinyl), warping is present, centre out on one and a few aubible pressing defects too. Tried two copies, but both had these various faults.

This is of course an excellent release filled with quality tracks. But I am nevertheless disappointed by it, seeing the sections the release is divided into I took for granted that he had reworked and melded the tracks into each other. But from what I can hear the tracks for the most part are just the same versions as on the albums (with silence between). As is this is like an updated and extended version of the Images (1991) compilation, with some exclusive tracks at the end.

If the man himself is claiming this is an album and not a compilation, he is doing injustice to long time fans who already have all the albums.
