Bon Anniversaire

..that's French for Happy Birthday as it's Jean Michel Jarre's reaches 62 years of age today. (and still annoying good looking in a French kind of way..)

Good old (ooops) Jean Michel has been active on the popular music front for over 30 years now since shooting to fame with the pioneering all electronic instrumental suite "Oxygène" which entered the album charts this week in 1977.

Despite being largely ignored by the press as being unfashionable, eccentric and (probably) French over the years Monsieur Jarre recently received the Lifetime Achievement award from UK music monthly Mojo.
A mammoth European tour continues into 2010



that was then...
