Jean Michel Jarre has entered in partnership with myfab.com introducing a series of audio & vision electronic devices created after ideas of Jarre himself. Now they have released two products, but they will release a few more soon:

– AeroSystem: Is a stereo hi-fi/iPod device with a superb and powerful stereo and bass sounds, with an unique, brilliant visual design that fits on everyplace.

– AeroFrame: Is an electronic photo frame. It can be unattached of its base to carry it everywhere. You can see and share photos everywhere using the USB port or a memory card.

A web page has been created to see all products, order them, contacting with the suppliers, etc…

Aero Productions announced recently that the release of the DVD version of the Houston concert was going to be canceled.

However sources close to Fairlight Jarre have just informed that some people have received Houston DVD from Amazon as you can see in the following pics…

… so there’s a contradiction between what Aero Productions said and reality. This is the WTF of the week: What’s really happening????

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.

Francis Dreyfus Music will be releasing a reedition on DVD of the concert that Jean Michel Jarre performed in Houston on April 5th 1986. We say that is a “reedition” because it will be the same edition of the video of this concert that Dreyfus released a few years ago on VHS through the Polygram label, and with the same running time (almost 53 minutes). The difference is that the DVD will feature subtitles in English, German, French and Spanish. This DVD will be released in UK on October 13th 2008 and in the rest of Europe on November 10 2008.

The DVD is now avaliable for pre-order from these stores: Amazon UK, Amazon France and HMV.

There are some rumours about a possible edition on DVD of The Concerts in China on November 2008, but we don’t know if this information is true or not yet.
