I would say that is BS. It's the old tapes but with different effects added. Other than some, almost not noticed, changes it sounds exactly the same as the 1976 album.GregAE wrote: According to the liner notes, the Audio CD is the original score re-recorded and remixed by JMJ in his studio.
Jarre is right now facing legal actions from his old record company Dreyfuss who owns the right for the original Oxygene. I guess they too thought that the so called "new" re-recording sounded way to much like the original.
Anyway, I think that Oxygene - Live in Your Living Room is a great idea and I'm certain that Jarre actually did it live for real this time. Last time we heard him play his music 100% live (apart from some analog sequencers) was on a bootleg from the Concerts in China 1981.
I really hope for a new album made with his analog synths now. The Teo & Tea album was just horrible.
