JEAN MICHEL JARRE PLANNING ALGERIAN DESERT SHOW

DECEMBER 31ST: On December 15th 2002, the Algerian Newspaper L'Expression reported on a planned Jean Michel Jarre Multi-Media Show, scheduled to take place in Hoggar in the Algerian Sahara Desert in 2003.

The Multi-Media Show is being organised by the Deserts Of The World Foundation, as part of a Multi-Artist Show, to promote the Foundation and it's aim to fight desertification, famine and poverty in the World's Deserts.

L'Expression describe Jean Michel Jarre's Multi-Media Show as a "huge Light and Laser Show in the Desert", probably similar to Jean Michel Jarre's other Multi-Media Shows in Switzerland and South Africa in 1992.

According to L'Expression, Jean Michel Jarre's Multi-Media Show will be broadcast in Europe, USA and Japan, but no further details are available.

JEAN MICHEL JARRE 'AERÓ' DUTCH RADIO BROADCAST

DECEMBER 29TH: Yesterday's Dutch Radio Station 4FM Broadcast of Jean Michel Jarre's 'AERÓ' Concert, went ahead as planned, but unfortunately was broadcast at the wrong speed, making the Concert sound very slow!!!

Furthermore, the Broadcast was not the Complete 'AERÓ' Concert, starting with 'OXYGENE 4', it missed out both the Countdown and the NEW As-Yet-Unreleased 'AERÓ INTRO', arguably the best Track of the Entire Concert.

Yesterday, JARRE UK contacted Marc Wielaert of Dutch Radio Station 4FM about the Broadcast. "It was an extremely painful and very embarassing mistake indeed" he confessed, and asked us to publish this statement:-

"Dear Fans of Jean Michel Jarre,

A very painful mistake was made during our production of the 'AERÓ' Broadcast. It is still not clear where exactly it went wrong, but clearly the difference between recording at 48KHz and playing back at 44.1KHz made a huge difference. It is no less than astonishing it was not noticed before.

A musical disaster that for some reason was not noticed until the Broadcast itself, thanks to the dozens of reactions in our Mail and on our Web-Site.

I would like to apologise to all of you, and of course to Jean Michel Jarre.

As requested by so many of you, we will re-broadcast the impressive 'AERÓ' Concert by Jean Michel Jarre on Sunday 16th March 2003 IN FULL.

To set things straight, we have decided to devote the complete evening - from 20:00 until 00:00 - to the music and talent of Jean Michel Jarre.

Again our sincere apologies.

Marc Wielaert (NPS Radio)"

JARRE UK would like to thank Marc Wielaert of Dutch Radio Station 4FM for his correspondence, and for the promise that he will inform JARRE UK when he has details of what he intends to broadcast on March 16th 2003.
