Jean-Michel Jarre – Electronica
Jean-Michel Jarre proved himself to be a true legend in the world of electronic music. Brighton was the second night of his Electronica world tour and this was definitely one of the venue’s most incredible mind blowing shows. From the onset the master ensured every note was heard by every member in the audience, the clarity of each instrument from keyboards to drums was superb. The synchronicity of the light show and the music was perfect. Moving curtains of LEDs projected everything from basic lighting to 3D effects, Star Wars-like laser beams as well as relaying occasional close up glimpses of the onstage antics.
With this year being the 40th anniversary of Oxygene we were treated to the premier of Oxygene 17, a taster of the next instalment in the Oxygene series of albums (which will be released in December). A fantastic concert which Brighton was not only proud to be part of but will not forget in a hurry.
