Additional notes
Album Notes: Electro pioneer Jean Michel Jarre's fourteenth studio album is the follow up to 2003's 'Geometry Of Love.' A concept album, 'Teo And Tea' tells the story of a day in the life of two cartoon characters who meet and fall in love. Described as the prolific composer's most ambitious album to date, 'Teo And Tea' expands on Jarre's techno roots to offer up a musical journey incorporating a vast array of moods and genres.
Advantages: Pleasant, good in places Disadvantages: Dated
...It's hard to know what to say about this: it’s pleasant and well done but who’s it aimed at?
Long-time fans will think it a little shallow, lovers of modern electro-pop will be put off because he’s who he is — hardly cutting edge and new after 60m sales — while music fans generally probably have other things to spend their money on than a so-so album from a bloke who was famous a quarter of a century ago.
Compared with bands like Digitalism and LCD Soundsystem it sounds dated: the latter have a harder edge while Jean M-J has the nice rounded sounds of 80s electro-pop.
Highlights are “Teo and Tea” which has good dance beat and might do some business in the clubs (it’s got an enigmatic spoken word section to get down with da kids); “Beautiful agony” sees Tea get her jollies (shades of Donna Summer’ “I feel love”) while “Touch...

Advantages: 5.1 surround sound, Jarre at his absolute best. Disadvantages: None, even if you own the original tracks.
...This is a review of the truly superb CD and DVD of JeanMichelJarres 'Aero' which will be in split into 2 parts on this same page... i will start with the CD, then the DVD.
Firstly i would like to offer a little background to the great man and his featured recordings as i find this relevant in order to help anyone who is unfamiliar with JMJ appreciate and understand this specific recording a little better.
JeanMichelJarre (JMJ) was born on the 24th August 1948 in Lyon, France.
His father (Maurice Jarre) was a very talented composer himself who helped write music themes for 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Dr Zhivago' to name but two.
JMJ is in the Guiness book of records several times but perhaps most notably for his live Paris show where he performed to close to 2 million people at the Arche de la Défense, he is clearly...

Advantages: Some new tracks. Enhanced old tracks - then of course there's the DVD Disadvantages: Not much new for something purporting to be a new album
...Fictitious Headline: “Jean-MichelJarre Pulls It Off”.
Pulls It Off?
Creates an original new evolutionary step in electronic music?
Plays a new musical instrument using a nuclear reactor as its power source, whilst dressed in a lead-lined overcoat and gauntlets at the centre of a 25-mile exclusion zone?
No – when I say ‘Pulls It Off', I mean 'a fast one'.
He seems to have craftily dressed a ‘Best Of...’ compilation as something new. Let’s be charitable and call it a ‘Re-mix’ at least.
‘Le mouton, habillé comme l’agneau’ as we say in English
“Well, fancy buying it if you knew that” I hear you say.
Well, I didn’t, but I did get it for Christmas having dropped heavy hints months ago that I’d heard he’d got a new album coming out.
On first appearances, Aero IS something new. For one thing the normal CD jewel...
