Jean Michel Jarre - A Journey into the Sound"

On October 16, 2015, the 18th studio album by Jean Michel Jarre was released. The concept album was created in cooperation of 15 artists who belong to the same scene and Jarre with the same dedication and passion.

At the beginning of the album everything was open and no one knew where the journey would go with Vince Clarke, M83, Air, Massive Attack, Edgar Froese, Armin van Burren, Moby and other allies. This ARTE doc summarizes Jean Michel Jarre's journey and goes into detail about his collaborations with the artists on the new album. It is nice that at the end in the studio of Hans Zimmer in Hollywood is referred to the father "Maurice Jarre", who throughout his life saw Los Angeles as his own musical territory.

Update: Unfortunately, the original documentary is no longer on YouTube. Here is a report in tracks.

Adriano Celentano - I want to know

I want to know why, I want to know who, I want to know how, I want to know where, I want to know what, I just want to know!

Maybe because the sweet life tempts you to play bingo bongo and even pulling out an ace can't impress a tamed ornery guy like the super guy “Azzurro” or because a totally dirty weekend called the bluff and the neighbor screamed “help, she loves me”, but then the question comes up again: Who gave the monkey sugar? "Well the biggest one is me, Serafino, because Don Tango is so sing-songy, but still the little one with the big tick lacks that certain something to know. Yuppi you!

Kiesza

Kiesza, who shot to fame in 2014 with her hit “Hideaway,” stepped out of the spotlight after a serious car accident in 2017.

The Canadian singer suffered a traumatic brain injury and faced a long, difficult recovery. But her passion for music never faded. With her comeback album “Crave” (2020), she returned stronger than ever – bold, creative, and full of energy. Kiesza’s journey is not only touching but deeply inspiring: a story of strength, resilience, and the power of believing in oneself.

Chlöe Howl - I Wish I Could Tell You

Chlöe Howl could become the next big British pop export, because the just 18-year-old has everything it takes:

a band, her own vocal characteristics, unmistakably refreshing appearance, professional attitude and of course good songs! The young lady shows courage and has quit school for her career! Her first longplayer will be released in 2014 and with a bit of luck she could make her international breakthrough with her second album. Perhaps just at the right time, when she has left her teenage years behind her. We will hear...

Update: Commercial success never fully arrived. Her debut album was never officially released, and she later parted ways with Columbia Records. Still, she remained active in music, releasing songs independently and continuing to work behind the scenes as a songwriter.

Darkstar - Wolf

Darkstar were founded in London in 2007 by James Young and Aiden Whalley and are now a trio, with singer James Buttery joining in 2010.

With him, they released the acclaimed debut album North on the Hyperdub label, which is known for its melancholic synthpop sounds. After Buttery's departure in 2014, Young and Whalley returned to the original duo formation and continued their musical journey, releasing several albums via Warp Records in the following years, including News from Nowhere (2013), Foam Island (2015) and Civic Jams (2020). Their music is characterized by a mixture of introspective pop, ambient elements and UK bass influences.
