Added all synths used into the description. Some will probably be surprised to see that it's mostly soft synths. The lead part I play via the JD-XA is/was controlling Diva. I first created the entire arrangement in software for convenience, the plan was to swap out some parts for hardware for the final version, as I expected some parts might sound better with real analog synths i.e. swapping the bass sequence from Dune 3 to the Subsequent 37, but actually Dune 3 sounded far better in this case.
Was thinking the same thing, I have the original CiN vinyl. Dare I respectfully suggest though that a strategic and subtle gated reverb on the clap would have sent this rendition even higher. I reckon Jean himself will listen / watch this incredible performance, its that good.
I first discovered JMJ back in 1986 and have been a massive fan ever since! You do him great honor with your wonderful cover! It's because if JMJ I love electronic music like YOUR AMAZING original works and have bought many of them on Basecamp! The best compliment I know is how much your work makes me also think of one of the other great composers - Vangelis.
State Azure! As a self proclaimed fanboy of JMJ since 1977, I approve 😀 I think you walked a fine line of excellence here: respecting the original form, yet adding your own input which I thought was very fitting. On a side note, and I'm stating the obvious, this version makes it quite clear to hear how "analogue" the original is in comparison - i thought it was interesting....(synth geek!) Nicely done! 👍
What a great job have you done!!! I am a big fan of this JMJ composition. This was a big concern for me that it is so rare, I'd say even underrated! And your interpretations is SO GREAT! I like it very much!!!
When I first heard the original I got goosebump overdose and this cover does the same darn thing . Very nice indeed. Sweeping chord changes .... oh yeah !
A superb cover. Arpegiator is in my top 5 favourite Jean-Michel Jarre tracks. The Concerts In China album is often overlooked, but I think its one of his best albums. Night In Shanghai is epic! Top work as always. :)
@@stateazure awesome! I'll look forward to that, especially with that thunderous bass line :) I think the only other time he's played that intro for Equinoxe 7, apart from in China was at Destination Docklands. Dunno why, its' fantastic.
I've been following your music for a very short period of time and I believe your atmospheres are great. With this cover you proved to be at theblevel of the master. Not many people live having made a really good remix or cover of a JMJ song, and you completely nailed it. You perfected an already perfect song. Infinite thanks for this!!!
JMJ! Yass! The stereo separation and movement is just perfection. Huge nostalgia hit as well. Amazing work SA, great visuals too. I'll be listening to this interpretation a few times, for sure.
Thanks for the brilliant content! Respect and regards from Germany. I saw you the first time with your Blade Runner content and I was fascinated. Cheers mate!
Just WOW. I love this tune from when I first heard it way back in the 80's on a cassette played through a cheap Walkman and very cheap headphones 🎧. Thanks for doing this cover version 👍👍
It's nice to see you in person. Jean-Michel Jarre was way ahead in his musical story - Recalling a story shared with me by a leading LON music producer - At concerts, additional generators were needed to power the equipment. I speak about this more in my upcoming memoir Tailor-made to Fly. Available in bookstores/online and audiobooks Q3/24. Continue to enjoy the musical Journey.🚀
I grew up listening to Jarre, and hearing Concerts in China for the first time way back as a kid this track really stood out to me. You've done an outstanding job with this cover. Most people would go for more typcial Oxygene/Magnetic Fields, but I'm sure you like to challenge yourself lol! 11/10 would love to hear you cover the entire album...

No idea what all that means, but it sounds EPIC!!
Honestly, one of the best renditions of this I’ve heard since I first heard on Concerts in China. Brilliant 👍🏼
That was a long time ago right

Incredible! this brings back so many memories from my younger self listening to Jarre. Thank you for keeping his legendary electronic music alive!
Thanks!
This is a stellar rendition, Pat! Just, WOW!! 🤩✨️🤩✨️🤩 Love the artwork too!
i perfectly remember my first vinyl by JMJ, "Oxygene" that day my life changed...., magnificent cover SA...
So glad I was able to catch the premier of this. The mix and stereo field sound so good! 💯
I still remember hearing this for the first time back in the 80's. Thank you for an incredible re-imagining of one of my
fave pieces.
Real nice cover I hope you release a album of them.

Thanks so much for your comment and support!
If I could time travel, I'd go to Jarre's China tour in the 80s...
Same very thought
Yeah "jonques..." when the synths come in mixed with traditional instruments = heaven
IMHO, it's the most amazing recreation of another masterpiece of Jean-Michel Jarre. Incredible!
Thank you!
He's gone and done Arpegiator! Glorious. Really good.
What a masterful rendition. ❤
It's been so long since I've been here! This is already a Classic from the golden 80s. Author, bravo! Great job!
A great job! From a music fan of 45 years, brought up on Jarre, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze that my dad would play constantly when I was a kid.
Thank you!
I'm really looking forward to this, it's one of my favourite JMJ tracks that, unfortunately, doesn't last long enough.
Neither is this one long enough, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway :) it's a tiny bit longer!
@@stateazure it was a wonderful recreation, thank you!
@@stateazureI just miss a bit more of China Concert reverb 😅 but it sounds amazing.. You changed the Simmons Drums for a hard dry hit drum.

I am a big fan of this JMJ composition. This was a big concern for me that it is so rare, I'd say even underrated!
And your interpretations is SO GREAT! I like it very much!!!
Thank you!
Wonderful. Your solo was fantastic, perfect placement. JMJ would approve.
This has to be on bandcamp !!
Great work, thank you !!
Remembering a time when the my best acoustic sanctuary was in my car listening to JMJ- The Concerts In China on CD. So Powerful.
It was Jean Michelle Jarre that got me started on synth music then I found tangerine dream and I was hooked.
Great version.
I kind of went the same way! Glad you enjoyed this!
State, what a sound field, great one. And superb visuals, too. Thank you 😊
Oh man, am I ever glad I came across this, been forever it seems since I've heard anything from Jean-Michel Jarre. Love it!
Dude. This is awesome. Just incredible. Literally blown away. Such talent!!
Amazing journey through the Arpegiator!
Loved it! 🎼🎹🎶
🤘
When I first heard the original I got goosebump overdose and this cover does the same darn thing . Very nice indeed. Sweeping chord changes .... oh yeah !
Added to my electronica list! ❤
This is really rather excellent
Good job sir
I got goosebumps at how good this was! Thank you!
Great job 👋👍
Literally my most favorite JMJ track.
Love the rework you did to the later lead synth giving it what i can best describe as a more Buck Rogers Disco vibe.
A superb cover. Arpegiator is in my top 5 favourite Jean-Michel Jarre tracks. The Concerts In China album is often overlooked, but I think its one of his best albums. Night In Shanghai is epic! Top work as always. :)
Thank you! I agree, amazing album. I would like to maybe do a version of Equinoxe 7 one day, incorporating the amazing intro he does on this album
@@stateazure awesome! I'll look forward to that, especially with that thunderous bass line :) I think the only other time he's played that intro for Equinoxe 7, apart from in China was at Destination Docklands. Dunno why, its' fantastic.
Now this will be special!
One of my favourite and timeless tracks! Great cover!
This sound like the Jean Michel I used to listen to. Much better than the modern albums and tracks. Old school. Love it.
really sweet rendition, captures the original perfectly and brings it into 2023....nice
Yes indeed. You are the Superman of sound in your Fortress of Solitude!!
Dude I love your setup its so organized very well !
Thanks :)
This is EXCELLENT.... Your favourite fan in NZ.
Absolutely incredible version!! love JJM and love your channel
Interesting and refreshing to see a Jarre cover that is not a remix! Well done!
What a genius artist you are
Thats the most awesome cover i ever heard from any JMJ tracks, sir, my respect!!!
astonishing cover, congrats! probably one of my top 5 Jarre tracks, just perfect in every way...
I've been following your music for a very short period of time and I believe your atmospheres are great. With this cover you proved to be at theblevel of the master.

Many thanks!
I grew up appreciating and trying to channel Jarre into my own playing in the mid-late 80s. This is an excellent rendition! Love your work.
Mr Jean Michelle-Jarre will be very impressed. Brilliant cover!👍👍
As JMJ opend a whole new world to me when I was a very young boy. This is a impressive spin on it. Congrats❤
Good stuff. Thank u for the upload.
Brillant, einfach super gemacht. Das würde einem JMJ sicher gefallen ❤
One of my all time favs
JMJ! Yass! The stereo separation and movement is just perfection. Huge nostalgia hit as well. Amazing work SA, great visuals too. I'll be listening to this interpretation a few times, for sure.
Woohoo, wow what a great cover of a classic. Fantastic work Pat!
incredible setup...... perfect sound.... excellent.....
Genuinely thought UA-cam was playing JMJ! Amazing work!
Brilliant, love the cat tower too!
Just without cat :) I had to ban them from the room, or else they will 100% sabotage my recording attempts!
Really exceptionally good adaptation! Gorgeous lead sound in the final part. 🏆
love it, great Bass in headphones, its party on time for xmas eve. Have a good one ya all.
You gonna get a whole lotta love for this one as it is a marvelous work. Kudos buddy.
Stunning cover of one of my favorite JMJ pieces. Love this! Nice work with the video as well. Your recording sound quality is excellent, too!
Thank you!
I love your renditions of many electronic music pieces.
This is great. Thanks.
Fantastic work on this my good man!
This is soooo good. It's one of my favourite tracks ever, I've listened to the original hundreds of times. Your version is amazing :)

Amazing ❤❤❤❤I love this session 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
This really is VERY good. The pads really make it cosmic. Feels like Richard Devine had role in this with all the band pass filter sweeps. Bravo!
This music is very VERY good for me!!
Nice job stranger. I take no music disapproving and it’s so rare that I finally meet a perfect sound.
This is an amazing cover, one of my favourites of Jarre, well done!
