From Space of Freedom Forum we have been informed that the Rendez Vous Houston DVD which were going to be edited by Dreyfus Music has been officially cancelled. We are waiting for more news concerning this issue, so we will keep you informed.
Update (14/10/2008): Aero Productions, via www.jarreuk.com, have issed this statement concerning the cancellation of the Houston DVD:
“We realise how much you wer all looking forward the Houston Concert being available on DVD, however the upcoming release by Francis Dreyfus Music has been cancelled.
Due to the evident poor quality of the film, which has not been restored or upgraded to today’s digital standards, nor at all to a level of a product that Jean Michel Jarre could be artistically satisfied with, the DVD, as Francis Dreyfus Music planned to release it, would have done more harm than justice to what remains a milestone event.
A mere DVD copy of the VHS format, where the original images an sound are far from optimum, wher no Bonus nor Extras are proposed, wiht artwork taht lacked punch… would have led to a less than mediocre product sold at normal price.
Moreover, it is important to underline that Jean Michel Jarre was not consulted or informed of the release by Francis Dreyfus Music, this in itself is sufficient to oppose it.
As you know, Jean Michel Jarre takes too much pride in his work and care in his creation, to allow it, and you, to be exploited, without the necessary investment of offering the best standard possible.
We thank you in advance for your continuous support and understanding, especially in this case.
