Air's track on Sourcelab 3 is a colaboration with the great Jean Jacques
Perry. When I first heard this was going to happen I was fucking
ecstatic. I'd loved every single I'd gotten from Air and Jean Jacques is
one of the greatest electronic musicians ever. If you STILL haven't
heard Moog Indigo you don't know what you are missing. Anyway, the track
itself as it materialized on the comp. is not very good at all. Quite
medicore, which is sad really cause I was expecting so much more.
As long as we are on the subject though, has anyone heard anything about
a new full length album from Jean Jacques? I think I read about it
awhile ago but haven't heard anything since. I am desperate to get
anything by him but all but 2 of his solo albums are looooong out of
print (Moog Indigo and The Amazing Electronic Sound... are available on
CD from Vanguard). If anyone has any leads on this stuff please speak
up, it is impossible to get information (and even harder to get the
actual records) on this type of music anywhere. I would give a finger to
have some enterprising label put together a boxed set of his recordings.
