Recorded under the working title of 'OXYGENE 3D', Jean Michel Jarre's NEW 'OXYGENE' will be available throughout Europe from November 26th 2007, on EMI's 'EMI Catalogue' Label, in 3 Editions: a CD Edition featuring the NEW 24-Bit/96Khz Digital Master Recording of 'OXYGENE', recorded Note-For-Note from the Original Score (Catalogue Number: 5141362), a CD & 2D DVD Edition featuring 'OXYGENE - LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM', an Exclusive Private 'LIVE' performance of 'OXYGENE', filmed at Alfacam's Studios in Lint, Belgium on September 19th 2007, in 2D High-Definition & Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound (Catalogue Number: 5141372), and a Limited Edition CD & 3D DVD Edition featuring 'OXYGENE - LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM', in Stereoscopic 3D High-Definition & Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, which also includes 2 Pairs of 3D Glasses (Catalogue Number: 5141392):-


Jean Michel Jarre is a pioneer of one of the fastest growing music trends today; electronic music. His debut album, OXYGÈNE, upon its release 30 years ago, took the world by surprise not only by its avant-garde musical genre, but also by its audacious album cover art-work (planet earth peeling away to reveal a human skull).

With OXYGÈNE, Jarre's singular musical style and panoramic sound brought a breath of fresh air that captured the masses and remains today a benchmark in contemporary music history. OXYGÈNE has sold over 12 million copies worldwide since its release in 1977.

Jean Michel Jarre has, with the international success of OXYGÈNE, gained his reputation as an environment-conscious citizen of the planet and an active militant for its safe-guard, a legacy for future generations; UNESCO invited him over 15 years ago to lend his talent to their mission in this field, a role he proudly exercises for the United Nations since.

December 2007 sees the 30th anniversary of the creation of OXYGÈNE; its avant-guard musical genre, its universally renowned signature melody and its visionary art-work have ensured the timelessness and value of this concept-album.

In these days where music has become a major player in global life-style, where music is omni-present wherever we are, where music is available at the touch of a button, where music is massively consumed and sadly sometimes short-lived, we thought it opportune and timely to celebrate OXYGÈNE with its eternal singularity and universality, with its premonitory environmental message that has become the centre of global attention only quite recently.

True to his spirit of creating an event out of all endeavours, Jarre decided to unearth his collection of vintage synthesisers and perform his original masterpiece live for a new master recording, recorded, mixed & mastered in High Definition 24-Bit/96KHz.

Having realised the collection of mythical instruments he had hoarded over the years and forgotten for some, in the depths of his garage, he decided to film his live performance of OXYGÈNE in HD and in stereoscopic 3D with optional Dolby Digital 5.1 sound or PCM Stereo. The live performance includes 20 minutes of brand new music.

'OXYGÈNE - LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM' is what Jean Michel Jarre has created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his super-hit album: the stereoscopic 3D video and surround sound give the unique impression of being right there next to Jean Michel and his instruments while seated on your living room couch.

Jean Michel was accompanied by three musicians for this live performance, as the 8 track original masterpiece requires eight hands for a live performance. It was played totally live in one take, without tape or hard-disk playback, by himself and Francis Rimbert, Claude Samard and Dominique Perrier.
'OXYGÈNE - LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM' is the first concert to be filmed in stereoscopy which is the next giant step in audiovisual entertainment: Philips have developed a new plasma screen that delivers a 3D stereoscopy image visible without glasses and the film director James Cameron (Titanic) has patented a new stereoscopic movie camera and is to release his next movie in stereoscopic 3D.
'OXYGÈNE - LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM', comes in 3 separate editions comprising of:-

* Audio CD - featuring a new master recording of the original score, recorded, mixed & mastered in High Definition 24-Bit/96KHz.

* Audio CD + DVD of live performance in 2D with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound or PCM Stereo + bonus features.

* Limited Edition Audio CD + DVD of live performance in Stereoscopic 3D + live performance in 2D, both with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound or PCM Stereo + bonus features + 2 pairs of 3D glasses."

Hello Robi. Are you JMJ's new manager or something? Laughing

great looking studio shot btw. I bet it didn't look anything like that when it was originally made? I had images of 'the garden shed' when I originally heard it back in '77! Laughing Cool

And an Arp 2500? that's not mentioned on the LP. AND where's the RMI Keyboard Computer?? Shocked

Has anyone checked out this album or the video yet?
I was specifically wondering about the 3D part of the video. Is it done in the old fashioned RED/Blue glasses?
