‘Aero’, Jean-Michel Jarre’s latest album, will be released as a DVD-Audio disc on 21st September, according to the official Jean-Michel Jarre web site.
‘Aero’ is a greatest hits album, but also includes four previously unreleased compositions. Rather than re-mixing old recordings for surround, all the tracks have been re-recorded by Jean-Michel, Francis Rimbert and Patrick Pelamourgues to take full advantage of DVD-Audio’s potential, the surround mix being created by Joachim Garraud.
The album will be released on East West records, a Warner imprint, and preliminary details indicate that it will include 3/2.1 surround mixes in Dolby Digital and DTS form for DVD-Video players, and 96kHz 24-bit PCM for DVD-Audio machines.
While the CD and DVD-Audio track lists are identical, the DVD-Audio version will include “scenes”, small interludes between tracks, created by Joachim Garraud at Square Productions, Paris, back in August 2003.
