J.M. Jarre Magazine – A kind of Fanclub or something like that
We can already announce that 2011 will see a new Jean Michel Jarre album.
This album is called “Memories & Rarities”, a double CD album which includes hits, inedits and pre-Oxygene material.
The launch of the album is due to be held on the three first months of 2011.
Íker Jiménez is a very famous spanish journalist, hosting very successful TV and radio shows, writer and… fan of Jean Michel Jarre. He has just released a double CD album (“Cuarto Milenio”) containing, among others, three JMJ tracks. Íker, very kindly, has given this moving interview to Fairlight Jarre.
