Jean-Michel Jarre COVER - Industrial Revolution Suite (Yes, the whole thing!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- I got the free trial of the Roland D-50 softsynth. Jean-Michel Jarre famously used the D-50 extensively for his Revolutions album. So what else could I do but have a go at the entire Industrial Revolution suite?! It took two weeks and my wife almost divorced me.
Overture: 0:00
Part One: 5:16
Part Two: 10:28
Part Three: 12:48
Synths used:
Arturia Spark for vintage drum sounds
Roland Zenology for noises and percussion
Everything else from the D-50.
Many (but not all) patches came from the d50-sf-01.syx file.
www.synthforum.nl/threads/80412/
Finally, the Yamaha SHS-10 keytar is an original that I've had since 1987. 35 years old, still works!
I can almost feel the rain running down the back of my neck down my back, pants, socks and shoes whilst stood with thousands of others in the Docklands.... still got the T shirt somewhere.
Certainly one of the best reference for D-50 users: JMJ simply used that synth for over 80% of this album. Here are just some examples:
- "Révolution industrielle: Ouverture" (Track 1): you can clearly hear a modified version of the Geerdes "Machine Run" patch as rythmic loop FX in the introduction. Roland PND-50-01 "Griitttarr 2" patch is used as a lead sound.
Orchestral strings are played using PA-Decoder "ORCHESTER PHILAMON" patch:

- "Révolution industrielle: Part 1" (Track 2): Michael Hotop's SoundSet 8 patches "YAMATANO OROCHI" and "--KOKUBOSTRINGS--" have been used in this part. The first one during the introduction as a strange FX (background solo line have been certainly played with the Roland PN-D50-01 "Squeeze de Sax" patch):

The second one as a rythmic strings section for the end of this song:

- "Révolution industrielle: Part 2" (Track 3): Leister Volume 3 patch "Analog Chop" is used for a complex sequenced line:

- "Révolution industrielle: Part 3" (Track 4): PA-Decoder Volume 1 patch "ATARI 1040 ST 5" is used as a special FX to close the song (0'09''):

- "Computer Week-End " (Track 8): EMC Volume 1 patch "Ocean Scenario" is used as a voicey lead sound with plucked attack. Michael Hotop's SoundSet 8 patch "--KOKUBOSTRINGS--" is used as the rythmic strings section comping part:

- "September " (Track 9): PA-Decoder Volume 3 patch "ANALOG 01" is used as a lead sound:

And these are only a few examples...
I'm great fan of J.M.Jarre from my childhood. I know nearly every single note of all albums. I closed my eyes and... It was Jarre. Complete and perfect. It's very hard to tell a difference. The amount of job you've done it's beyond any comment. So much heart, passion and devotion. Thank you. And... little one is cute.
One of the main reasons is of course that Jarre extensively used the presets of the D50 on this whole album. So you can literally play a lot of parts identically to how Jarre played them on the album. Learning that that whole metallic sequence throughout Part 1 is essentially just a single note off of that particular D50 preset was one of my biggest disappointments about Jarre.
"Cool man, that's all what I can say"
Are you referring to that guy in the Houston video?
"Killer man..." :)
@@christiaantinga yes it's Jean Michel Jarre
Show! Great cover. Congratulations!
Fantastic.
I also love that there is an uprise in interest for Jean-Michel Jarre's music lately. It warms my heart to see videos recreating his work out of love for the music. I've been a Jarre fan since the late 70's ☺
Jean Michel Jarre veniva considerato il pioniere di un "certo genere musicale", prima sconosciuto al grande pubblico, perché sapeva perfettamente coniugare l'elettronica con la strumentazione di base
Him, Vangelis and Mike Oldfield will be revered in the future. We can always say we were there to see it first.
Amazing man, you did it.
So grateful you shared it with us!
JMJ will be honored.
Oh wow, this was fantastic from A to Z! I am very impressed by how accurate your version is.
In terms of composition and sound, Industrial Revolution is one of the best that Jean-Michel Jarre has ever done. With the ingenious interplay of Roland D-50 and Elka Synthex, he created a monument for both synthesizers. From that point of view, a cover version of it is always a big challenge. Your version turned out really well. I would say it's 80% accurate. In any case, the D-50 parts are very well done. Too bad you didn't have original Elka Synthex sounds and Akai MPC-60 drum and percussion sounds. But hats off! Good job! You can be proud of yourself.
Brilliant! You are so talented.
Мир Жарра - это мир синтезаторов, невероятно сложный, нереально прекрасный и непостижимый для простого обывателя!

Greetings to your patient wife - bless you both.
That is bloody good.
Wow, I was not ready for this! This is one of my all time favourite pieces of music and to hear it covered so perfectly blew me away and I really didn't expect to be in tears this morning 😂 Absolutely amazing!
This is an outstanding effort that puts a smile in my soul, well done 🎉🎉🎉
*Vibes!* ⭐😃👍
Man! 😲😎
This sounds as the original tracks... fantastic...
I love JMJ musics since my childhood... i have this album also... and now see and hear this construction.. amazing...
I have a Roland JV1080 synth modul... a think i must probe some synth voices...
Great job Simon!
Thank you!
It's so spot on that UA-cam immediately copyright claimed it to Jarre. 😢
Listening to this performance just felt like I was listening to my new bought album for the first time in september 1988 🙂 Incredible, love this !
You did a great job on this, I actually was at the Docklands concert & the album & the industrial revolution suite in particular is some of my favourite JMJ output (as a fan since 1979).. I am considering getting a D50 myself for doing this alone.
Well played mate! Very accurate!
Amazing Sir 👏 you should have filmed this on the london docklands 😊
wonderful playing, it,s magic. 10 stars.
Enorme !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo !!! Amazing cover !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jarre Family 🙂
Great job! Absolutely loving Part II
wow, i really enjoied listening at your performance. Thank you for sharing this! 👏
Un mot: BRAVO!
excellente reprise qui fait plus que jeu égal avec l'original 👍
Greetings from France 😉
Merci mon ami!
Great work, man!! Congratulations🎉🎉🎉
Wow! That was amazing!
Thanks for it. As an old big fan of JMJ, it remembered my teenage years.
" It took two weeks and my wife almost divorced me" -> don't worry. It is the same for all musicians.
Excellent,great sound!!!!
You melted my heart. Thank you a lot and have a wonderful day! Best wishes!
awesome!
EPIC !!!!!!!!! Bloody well done chap !.....
DAT KEITARRR!
Fan of J.M.J. Absolutely stunning job! Instruments and playing are almost exactly as the original. if someone told me that this is a live concert from Jarre, i would believe him. I suppose that you spent many many hours searching and fine tuning all this sounds. Keep up the good work!
Great
Thanks!
very well done. Thanks for sharing!
Dood. Best Jarre cover I’ve found on here. Really well done.
wowzers!!! Hats off to you sir
One minor point of critisicm; In the beginning I heard (and saw) those triplets that actually were chords in the original. I missed the extra power in that. But having said that: You did a remarkable job on one of my favourite Jarre-tracks! Chapeau ♥
My number one remains the whole Rendez-Vous II thing :) I might just give that a try on UA-cam!
By the way: I actually had that Yamaha SHS-10 keyboard! haha..
Totally agreed to your point, also some synth noises I missed (I was making them with my mouth while listening 🤣🤭), beside that, Simon is JMJ of this century.👏👌
@@nawafkamal1045 that is so true ;)
Thanks Simon. Really titanic work!
Amazing! What an accomplished labour of love! I remember listening to Revolutions from an original cassette I bought when it came out on my Walkman. I still own that cassette and it still sounds good (the walkman has fallen to pieces over time). Your cover is spot on. Well done! 🎉 You are keeping an absolute classic alive. I hope your wife will read these comments and forgives you, seeing how much joy you have spread with your work. 😊😊😊
Amazing sound !
I appreciate that, thank you!
as a mega fan of jean michel ,i want to thank you !
Amazing sound , we want next !
Thank you! I'm working on it! 😁
All of this on point! Brilliant work. Little one is cute too😊
Ha, yeah I had to include that moment! Thank you very much.
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Magnifico Greetings from Chile
Cool, amazing, good!!!!!!!!
Very well done
A very difficult work to do justice to but it certainly does that, very well done indeed
I'm speechless💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Top work
Excellent!!!
Beh...senza parole...fatto tutto bene, molto bene
Loved this. You might be slightly interested that the start of Part II is all D-50 presets as well. Kokubostrings and Analog Chop. I only learned this when trying to play it myself. You played it damn well. Enjoyed it a lot so thank you!
That's impressive. Well done.
Amazing work.
Amazing!!!
Waow !! Great Job ! It's perfect !
Superbly done man. 👏👏👏. Part 2 always gives me chills. Played parts of it years ago but not for about 10 years now. Keep it up fella.
Very very good job. Perfect. Congrats ;)
J'attends votre prochaine vidéo de JM jarre
Prochain: Rendez-Vous! Tout l'album!! 🤫
Toca demais!!
Félicitations de France
Merci!

Bravo!!!🎉🎉🎉
Bravo !
Brilliant!!!!!
Wow!
Bravo 🎉❤😮😢
Amazing Job👍👏❤️
Thank you!
@@simoncarswell3515 as good as you did your Rendezvous tracks, I have to say you absolutely took my breath away with this, it's one of my absolute favorites from a very long career & im always ready to be hypercritical because this is one where you need balls to attempt it & to get it as close as this with certain equipment limitations just blew me away.. I love this suite so much im going to buy a Roland D50 just for this part of the album alone, but I know deep down I couldn't pull this one off, but I'd really like to see how much I could actually achieve.. & when & if that time comes I'd like to call on you for a bit of advice if you wld be willing help or advise or help me solve a problem.. keep doing this stuff, you have such flair for JMJ mate👍
@@borisVspider66 Thanks, my friend, I appreciate that. You can absolutely call on me any time, no problem.
@@simoncarswell3515 thanks Simon I will definitely appreciate it when the day comes👌
Great effort . Fantastic interpertation as good if not better than anything else on UA-cam. Great ear for idetifiying all the individual instrument parts. Well worth those 2 weeks. Also check out Dr. Mix and his disection of Equinoxe if you have'nt already.
Er .... Where are my words .... Absolutely stunning ! Pfiou !!! Bon je vais continuer en français car mon anglais est très limité, mais BRAVO !! c'est un chef d'oeuvre cette reprise ! Vraiment !
Parabéns. Ficou perfeito.
Magnifique
Maestro !
really good job! ;)
@Simon Carswell, im desperately hoping u see this.. I'm in the middle of kitting out my new studio, i've bought a Roland Juno X & a Korg Nautilus to go with my Yamaha & I'm preying that u wouldn't mind sending me a sample of the clanking metal cycle & if possible the track of the complete backbone of all the percussion & sequenced arpeggios for the entire suite so that i can play all the on top stuff.. i am willing to grovel & will even pay a fee for your hard work if required.
Your support would be so massively appreciated. I'm in bad health mate & imprisoned in my flat so if you still have the ability to help then it will be a godsend, & your work truly is something to be proud of, & thats not arse kissing, its just undeniable. If you reply (please reply) then I'll give u my contact details✌
Hi mate, just seen this. Absolutely will help you out, no worries. Email me at simoncarswell at sky dot com
Parfait
Magic! ❤
well done 🎹
Brilliant work, the original album should be the demo for the D50. Fan of his work and your rendition was awesome
Simon? As complex sequencer line in Industrial Revolution 2 you have heard is played from Roland-50 and the sound is called Analog Chop ☺
- "Révolution industrielle: Part 2" (Track 3): Leister Volume 3 patch "Analog Chop" is used for a complex sequenced line:
Yeah, someone else said that. Wish I'd known that at the time! Programming that is time I'll never get back! 😄
@@simoncarswell3515 You shall look up for that in google or something because there is a mp3 file about this sound named Analog Chop on the web ☺
Very good deconstruction, man!
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Impresionante
Bravo ❤
