Extract from interview in "The Independent":-

. . . >> His latest offering, Aero, released next month, is the world's first album constructed note for note in 5.1 surround sound. While a small number of CDs currently exist that have been mastered for surround sound, they spread the stereo recording around the five speakers. Aero, which features many of Jarre's greatest hits, as well as three new tracks, comes at you individually from all five directions, giving you the rather pleasing impression that you are either about to be rescued by Blake's 7 or Sigourney Weaver, or airlifted out of Vietnam by helicopter at any moment. The 5.1 recording is on DVD and the surround-sound experience is only achieved by a five-speaker system.

"I'm convinced this 5.1 surround-sound is going to be the next revolution," Jarre insists. "It's the right time, people want something else." The DVD has visuals, too - 75 minutes of a pair of eyes staring at you. They belong to one Anne Parillaud. "She did a staggering performance, going through lots of different moods," says Jarre." <<

Comment: About time they finally got DVD-Audio into the mainstream music aisles of record stores. Assuming a production run of millions of copies worldwide, then this is a BIG boost for the format. (And that's not counting the sales resulting from the extravaganza concert planned for Beijing, China.) Can't wait for 21 September.
