Back in 1982 When I was around 7,my dad had to go to Dallas for a computer company training course and this album was part of the soundtrack to the slideshow (or movie he watched there I can't remember) and he bought this album when he got back as he had really thought it was amazing. He went out to the local big name store where we lived in Langley BC and came home with a top of the line Sanyo home stereo system. We both would sit listening to this masterpiece that dad was able to find locally and he would blast it as loud as he could before the needle would resonate the sound through the bass. We shared some cool times to this record and Oxygene too. I think I was driving my mom bananas when I would just sit and listen to them both but Equinoxe was and is my favorite. I found out one day that if you relaxed your eyes and stared at the third row of watchers, dead centre of the record album that they would stand up and it was all 3-D. I told mom and she couldn't see it,dad couldn't either. We moved a few years later and the record was lost somehow during it. But I never forgot the album name. Disques Dreyfus with the lady relaxing on the back logo stuck out for some wierd reason too. Fast forward a decade or 3,I finally found a copy at my local record store and I didn't care about the $75 dollar copy price due to import charges 'cause I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO HAVE IT. I've since had the same record player dad owned rebuilt in the last 5 years and introduced this album to my kids. They get a kick out of it and when I showed them how to get the watchers to stand up they really get into the whole album in a new way. We have a collection of Daft Punk and Justice now ,but this comes out fairly often too. And of course,just like dad showed me how to work the stylus lock on his Sanyo player I show my kids how to use it,set the tone arm down really slow then turn on the Amp and Subwoofer and then we wind out the volume as far as I can before distortion kicks in,just like 40 years earlier when dad and I would sit and smile to the flights of imagination, trapped inside small grooves on a flat piece of back vinyl made from a musical genius craftsman who introduced me to techno. This remix is going to come home with me today and I'm going to play this EPIC and ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE remaster,that this artist who posted his work should be EXTREMELY proud of. You did a fantastic job sir! Fan-freaking-tastic indeed. I'm gonna get my dad to slap on some headphones and have him listen too. I know he'll appreciate the memories.
Wow cool story man! And thank you very much for your kind words :) Regarding the 3D effect on the cover, I think it's a coincident, I don't think Michael Granger made a stereoscopic easter egg in 1978 :)
Nice! I can relate as it was my dad that introduced me to the electronic music of Jarré and Vangelis, he loved them and i soon did too. He made me listen to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, other styles like Bossa Nova and some more songs that i really enjoy 40 years later.
I am 57 years old and have listened to Jarre's iconic music since the late 70ies. I love his music until "The Concerts in China". I saw his full analogue Oxygene-Tour with all the original instruments here in Germany. This was so impressive. Therefore, everytime he puts out something new I try to give him a new chance. Sometimes there are one or too new tracks I like, but most of the time I am disappointed by his new and more recent work. It lacks the emotion of his first albums. Now I have just listened to your Equinoxe 4 version. OMG, if only Jarre would use remixes like yours for his live projects. Yours is fantastic and keeps up the mood of the original. Thank you for all the hard work you have put into this.
Nickolas, I so agree with you! I am very jealous of you seeing the analogue Oxygene tour; I recently discovered the video of the Oxygene studio performance with your tour's musicians and it was brilliant. I did see him live in NYC in 2017, but the Oxygene tour must have been great.
I reluctantly concur with you on this. I've been a fan of JMJ since I discovered an old cassette with Rendezvous on it as a teenager in the 90's. I've seen him Live and the show is spectacular. However I recently watched the VR Versailles Concert, and I find nothing there. Good classic tracks, but nothing that warrants anything revolutionary. Could easily have just been another one of his excellent shows without the VR/AR concept. Whilst his earlier work is packed with emotion, innovation and brilliant concepts, much of his latest work seems only to be around to achieve sales.
Loved this. I have listened to Jarre since he appeared with this track in the UK in 1976 with the Oxygene album, I started my electronic journey with the likes of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Kraftwerk, and a few others in the early 1970's. I was saddened in April 1986 when the space shuttle exploded taking away Ron McNair who was to play live from space as that would have been a masterpiece. I thing Jean Michel would enjoy this remix as he is a visionary with his music too. By the way I am almost 65 and still love Jarre, Kraftwerk et al.
@@minisynthmaniac Thank you. I had it in my head the track was Oxygene for some reason and as I am 64 I will plead memory loss as to the date of the album lol.
I'm a very big Jean-Michel Jarre fan,and Equinoxe part 4 is my all time favourit from Jarre,and this is really the best ever remix i heared,it makes my day,great job,the balance between the original sounds and new sounds is so perfect !!!
Michelle Jarre; Kraftwerk; Gary Numan; John Foxx; Human League; New Music etc.,etc..ushered in a new era of music and many other synth playing artists followed. From about 1977 to 1984, music was revitalised but, sadly, by 1985 the great wave had crashed and fizzled out. I suppose it was always going to happen; all great new music genres eventually lose their energy and originality as public familiarity leads to indifference or even hostility and new bands try to break with the status quo to forge their own identity. Of course, almost all artists run out of new ideas and become rather stale and even passe. But electronic music always keeps its fascination because it can create sounds that conventional instruments can't and moods and imagery that speak of future possibilities and present problems. Long live the synthesiser.
It's stuff like this that makes me happy! Not just a perfect recreation but also adding a modern touch. Super well done! And your story actually added a lot too.
Best Equinoxe remix I' ve ever experienced. Adds so much to the original without subtracting anything at all. Congratulations my friend and thank you so much!
I went and watched Jarre at the London Docklands with my parents. It was absolutely raining big time, but Jarre carried on with the show. Experience I will never forget.
@7anthillmob yeah me and parents walked from Dagenham to the docklands just to watch it my dad is a huge fan.. We got a night bus back I think I remember coming back home on a bus and missing school the next day. My mum got up late monday morning.
Equinoxe was one of the very first cassettetapes, I bought as a child in Skive, Denmark, in the eighties. It was like "spacemusic". Very nice and playful reinterpretation ...
The more I listen to it, the more I like it more than the original. The original version may have more subtetlies, but the timbre and the "expansiveness" of this version is flying colors to me ! Thanks again !
What a fantastic music, remember my childhood when the spots on TV were anuncing computers or informatic's academy....... I realized THE WATCHER appearing behind the electronic piano, nice job Mr. ThomasH !!!!
What I know is that ThomasH is a very good mood synthesizer professional. Been in many live concerts JMJ. ThomosH is bringing that freshness in the beat of JMJ. Thank You ThomasH!!!!!
Great version, absolutely loved the animation. Had to watch it twice to catch the things I missed first time. Might have to watch it again to catch the things I missed the second time...
This is the best analysis of Equinoxe 4 I have ever seen. And the best restitution, despite the dance groove. I noticed the 15/16 bars. And that you gived the good filter and octaves values in the Fm bridge. Never heard anywhere else.👍👍👍👍👍 And your work on the video is incredibly full of ideas. Big ears and big brain. 👍
@@thhedk Big early fan of JMJ and keyboard player I made a cover of this song in the 80'. (and in 2009 a new cover, made with an arranger). One challenge was the "robot" sound, in the bridge at 3'34" in your version. A saw tooth with resonance and flat VCF enveloppe, but randomised amount of cutoff. Fast notes played on various octaves. I wanted to obtain the same sound, and listened carrefully each note, to get the right amount of cutoff, and the right octave. I decided after that to modulate the cutoff with the velocity. The result was very good. Unfortunately, this way of doing things causes a change in filter opening when you change synthesizers. But it's good enough for the rendering in my current KORG PA. The only things that I have never managed to reproduce faithfully are the sound effects of vcs 3 during theme changes, and during the second appearance of the slow theme. Here is my version : th-cam.com/video/tV3Mz3tEoTU/w-d-xo.html
@@galettouille It's a good cover, you have the sequencer right many don't. I sampled it on a Commodore 64 in the 80's, played it in SloMo and have played it right since :D And the phaser strings at starting at 3:26 are correct, no one else made this right except you, me and Jarre :D Oh the robot yes, It's 100% an Arp2600 sound and I think I nailed it on the Arturia with the S/H controlling the filter or resonance, but with alle random stuff it's very difficult to replicate. I think I found the notes played and replicated that, but the random filter is where it is, so I rendered 10 versions of each section and found the ones closest to the original. The VCS sounds, omg it's not from this world!! See my description of my struggle :) Thank you for you comment, fellow synth nerd ;)
I’ve been a Jarrehead since the 70s and generally steer clear of cover versions as they’re invariably poor approximations of the originals. But this, this is awesome. Well done, and keep up the good work!
Hi, a lot of people attempt to cover this track, but you have NAILED it big time. The video As well really suits the track. Keep doing what you're doing it works!!!!!!! Love it MARK uk
😍 this is... breathtaking. So much attention in every sound, you absolutely nailed the JMJ style. Love how the modern elements are fit with the original score too. Bravo! 👏👏👏
Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe P4, surprises us again with this beautiful recording and transports us through the different moments of our planet Earth and human civilization, which wants peace!!
I was within a cats whisker of seeing JMJ at the Docklands concert, part of me wished I had, but pneumonia is glad I didn't. JMJ is amazing, especially this era. This remake is honestly a real homage to the master. A compliment to JMJ style and sound.
I saw him at Docklands,drove from North Wales to London, no tickets, just had to go there but actually got into the concert and saw him, then whilst in France 1987 in Paris for the storming of the bastille celebration we were there with 2 million others to witness a fantastic celebration!
Hi again Thomas, have been having a serious look at all the TH-cam covers of this track. Got to say it again, THIS IS the very best cover. Love this track so much your version is playing on a loop in my Range Rover every time I'm driving!!! Thanks for such a brilliant cover, sound, pitch, keyboard, bass and mix SUPERB,my compliments again MARK uk

Creo que muchos te han felicitado por tu version y no sere uno menos ! , Gran trabajo y muy fiel al estilo de un gran compositor como J.M.Jarre , añadiste pero sin quitar , ¡ Esto es un gran homenaje hacia Jarre del que deberia sentirse muy halagado ! , Gran version , excelente modernizacion de uno de mis mas grandes artistas favoritos y su musica y ahora tu tambien has logrado una obra de arte sobre el arte .
Господи, какая же это прелесть!!! И так понравилась эта анимация! Наблюдатели такие милые и забавные ребятки! Прям чудо, прям получила огромное удовольствие!!! Всё, под эту видеопроекцию буду играть на концерте Equinoxe-4!!! 😇🥰😍🤩
I would walk down the corridor at work with jarres music blaring out, bought sone quality to the place , better then the rubbish they were liistining to, and people would ask whose that . Class never dies.
The best cover-version i ever heard . And the animation is simply wonderful and funny too. I really love your complete work of "Equinoxe 4".Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thanks. I have to ask, are you as a subscriber, presented of my new video? I'm struggling to have any views on all the new stuff I make, and I can't find out why.
I love this version, even down to the little guys who pop up from behind the keyboard, so funny. 🤪 What are those little guys any way, never have been able to find out if Mr Jarré ever gave them a name?! Certainly nothing like Minions, thankfully! 👽👀🥸💯👍
@@thhedk Thank you “Watchers”, as soon as you said it I remembered reading about them but yeah I'm unsure whether Mr Jarré actually called them that, maybe it was the artist Granger who called them that?! 🤔

Excellent ! Brilliant !….

😍 this is... breathtaking. So much attention in every sound, you absolutely nailed the JMJ style. Love how the modern elements are fit with the original score too. Bravo! 👏👏👏
Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe P4, surprises us again with this beautiful recording and transports us through the different moments of our planet Earth and human civilization, which wants peace!!
Thanks for sharing your version of Equinoxe IV! Like it!! Greetings from Leeuwarden - the Netherlands 🎹🎶🎶
Thank you! Share it so the world knows :)
I was within a cats whisker of seeing JMJ at the Docklands concert, part of me wished I had, but pneumonia is glad I didn't.
JMJ is amazing, especially this era.
This remake is honestly a real homage to the master. A compliment to JMJ style and sound.
I saw him at Docklands,drove from North Wales to London, no tickets, just had to go there but actually got into the concert and saw him, then whilst in France 1987 in Paris for the storming of the bastille celebration we were there with 2 million others to witness a fantastic celebration!
Thank you so much :)
I wish I saw the old concerts live.
Bravo! Thomas H. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

Espectacular. Gran versión, Felicidades.
Great version, and I like how we can watch what's being played. :)
Especially like the drums which remind me of the old Böhmat sound.
Thanks :)
Creo que muchos te han felicitado por tu version y no sere uno menos ! , Gran trabajo y muy fiel al estilo de un gran compositor como J.M.Jarre , añadiste pero sin quitar , ¡ Esto es un gran homenaje hacia Jarre del que deberia sentirse muy halagado ! , Gran version , excelente modernizacion de uno de mis mas grandes artistas favoritos y su musica y ahora tu tambien has logrado una obra de arte sobre el arte .
Господи, какая же это прелесть!!! И так понравилась эта анимация! Наблюдатели такие милые и забавные ребятки! Прям чудо, прям получила огромное удовольствие!!! Всё, под эту видеопроекцию буду играть на концерте Equinoxe-4!!! 😇🥰😍🤩

Геніальна музика. Авторові окремо респект за прекрасну візуалізацію!❤
I feel lucky that I have these CD, but I also had these albums in vinyl back in the early 80's. Great video and music.
Thanks :)
I love the way you show all keys played. Very well done .❤
Thank you.
Yes I tried to show as much as possible in the video :)
I listened to this at full volume, and the Watchers were fun too, at just 7 mins though l would have liked more 👍
GREAT!!! :)
Wauuu. Fantastic. Thaankx
Thank you, happy new year! :)
The best cover-version i ever heard . And the animation is simply wonderful and funny too. I really love your complete work of "Equinoxe 4".Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thank you thank you so much :)
And Merry Christmas
OMG this is AWESOME, love the way you've animated "The Watchers" too that's brilliant
Thanks! :)
Share the word, I really had hopes this would make it well in TH-cams algoritmes, but it didn't :(
Increible version!!! Es un grandisimo trabajo
Thank you! :)
This is what I CALL music!!
Thank you! :)
Great original score of cause but I think I found the right balance between old and new in this remake.
Superbe job .. tout en respectant la Version originale une belle cure de jeunesse pour Equinoxe IV ..bravo 😊
Thank you so much! Yes that's my approach, to respect the original.
Genial ThomasH
Felicidades 🥳🥳🥳
Muchas Gracias
Thanks. I have to ask, are you as a subscriber, presented of my new video?
I'm struggling to have any views on all the new stuff I make, and I can't find out why.
Absolute Extra-Klasse. Bombastisch. Besonders mit großen, bassstarken Lautsprechern wiedergegeben. 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes my Cerwin-Vega D9 still works ;)
INKLUSIVE
3D EFFEKT SEHR SCHÖN
Una maravilla de version
I love this version, even down to the little guys who pop up from behind the keyboard, so funny. 🤪 What are those little guys any way, never have been able to find out if Mr Jarré ever gave them a name?! Certainly nothing like Minions, thankfully! 👽👀🥸💯👍
Thank you so much!
They are called "Watchers" in the Jarre fan world, I don't know if Jean Michel ever called them that :)
@@thhedk Thank you “Watchers”, as soon as you said it I remembered reading about them but yeah I'm unsure whether Mr Jarré actually called them that, maybe it was the artist Granger who called them that?! 🤔
Brilliantly put together. A massive labour of love. Well done.
Thanks!
Total detailverliebt- sieht und hört man.. Perfektionismus pur❤
Thanks
ThomasH - please check out my own compositions too.
Love it. Just been dropping shapes in the kitchen.😎
Thanks :)
Love the music, but not to forget the 3D effect here - all the moving spectators jumping out in front of you
Thanks :)
