What is the point of this album?, 12 Aug 2002
This album doesn't contain bad music, but I fail to see any reason for it to exist. Effectively, you've got the Revolutions album, with the epic Industrial Revolution heavily edited, and a smattering of greatest hits filling the gap. Even worse, the album is simply the old "Jarre Live" CD, repackaged to make it obvious which concert is being used. Jarre live at least came with a nice thick booklet which contained plenty of photos and drawings, quotes from Jarre about the venue, most of which are cut from this release. Even worse again, you only have to look at the track lisitng from the concert(s) to see that a HUGE chunk of the original show has been cut. As a full length double CD, this would have served as a great Best-of collection - after all, the tracks we have do sound the same as the studio versions, as a previous reviewer has pointed out). Given some of the classics cut out, what on Earth is the awful Computer Weekend doing here?! What we're left with is a CD full of good music, but which provides nothing new at all. If you've got Revolutions, there's no reason to buy this, and if you haven't got Revolutions, that should be a much higher priority than this. Make it the last Jarre album you buy for your collection.
