With his upcoming best-of, “Planet Jarre”, the Godfather of electronic music Jean-Michel Jarre celebrates his 50 years at the forefront of electronic music with an extensive double album that will once more carburize his legacy in pop music history.
“Planet Jarre” comprises 41 works from his extensive music catalogue and has been personally curated to focus on four distinct styles covered in his career:
His atmospheric and ambient Soundscapes, influenced by his classical background and love of film soundtracks
Themes, covering his best known international hits and more melodic pieces
Sequences focuses on his work with computers and his influence on what has become techno and EDM
Explorations and Early Works which covers his early proto-sampling work, use of modular synths and sound processors.
The collection features two previously unreleased tracks called “Coachella Opening” and “Herbalizer”
