Jean Michel Jarre - Aero

As a pioneer of electronic music for over 20 years (selling

over 60 million albums worldwide and performing record-breaking concerts), Jean Michel Jarre continues to be at the forefront of sound evolution with his forthcoming release AERO – the world’s first album fully constructed, note for note, in 5.1 surround sound. 

Revisiting his greatest hits, together with three new tracks and a series of interlude scenes, the AERO experience is like nothing you have heard before.  AERO places the listener ‘inside’ the music, rather than outside the flat ‘wall’ of stereo, immersing you in the way that first listening to music on headphones once did, although now in 360° surround sound.  By moving from 2 channel (Stereo) to 5.1 channel (AERO), it literally takes the music into a whole new dimension.

AERO offers a unique sound experience to the listener. With this album Jean Michel offers the possibility to listen to his music, including classic tracks such as ‘Oxygene’ and ‘Equinoxe,’ in the way that he always imagined sharing it.

AERO is a double CD format: a DVD and CD in one package. The DVD is recorded in 5.1 DTS, Dolby AC3 and PCM 9624 KHz Stereo and the CD is recorded in Super Stereo. This means that the customer is getting both the 5.1 DVD experience to listen to on their surround sound systems as well as a CD version. There is an optional visual element on the DVD format, which offers an unusual visual experience. A pair of beautiful eyes, shot in high-definition cinema scope, gazing out at the listener and reacting emotionally to the music... for the entire 75 minutes of the album.

With the facility of Home Cinema surround sound system, the time for AERO has never been more ideal. Jean Michel Jarre’s music means many things to many people and with this album his millions of fans have the opportunity to revisit it in an exciting new way. The universe is expanding, and so is music, Jean Michel Jarre is leading the way…
