Jarre Forever facts

This is Jarre Forever, the international fan-made tribute album organized by Jean Michel Jarre Fanclub Norway and released in 2002.

    The idea
    The international Jean Michel Jarre tribute album was conceived during the summer of 1998 by Glenn Folkvord, the president of the Norwegian JMJ fanclub
    The idea was to create the very first Jarre tribute album recorded and organised by fans

    Jarre Forever is unique in several ways
    It’s the first ever international attempt to pay tribute to Jean Michel Jarre on a CD album
    The music, the artwork, the promotion, the organisation, the financing; everything is done by fans
    For once, the remixes are made by people who truly respect Jarre’s work, not hired hands or professional producers
    To follow certain ideas of Jean Michel Jarre, the profits of each CD sale will be donated to charity
    There are 23 musicians or bands from 14 countries involved

    More Jarre Forever facts
    The 2CD set features 29 tracks (28 remixes and one original composition) and almost 153 minutes of music
    A total of 257 demo songs were sent in from 85 artists in 25 countries
    The album was sold (from this website at least) at a lower price than regular full price 2CD sets for 5 years – now the price is permanently reduced with up to 50%
    Official release was September 7th, the day of Jarre’s Aero concert in Denmark
    Jean Michel Jarre was informed about the project in it’s early stage and was given copies after the release
    Jean Michel Jarre personally gave permission to record an unreleased song, “Palawan”
    The album is a limited edition of 1000 copies

    Remixes does not necessarily mean “techno”
    Remixes, yes – techno, not necessarily. The contributing artists were allowed to choose their own style, and since the album reflects how Jean Michel Jarre influences musicians and fans of today, there are indeed some techno-oriented tracks
    We have split the 2CD set into two, where the first CD contains the dance and techno influenced remixes, and the second CD contains the more traditional versions, the Jarre-style remixes, one might say
    Many styles are represented; classic space electronica, industrial music, techno and dance, trance, symphonic / classical
    One of the tracks is a live performance
