November 5

The planned release of the Houston concert DVD has been cancelled due to a dispute between Francis Dreyfus and Jean Michel Jarre. Aero Productions have released the following statement -

"We realise how much you were all looking forward to the Houston Concert being available on DVD, however the upcoming release by Francis Dreyfus Music has been cancelled.

Due to the evident poor quality of the film, which has not been restored or upgraded to today's digital standards, nor at all to a level of a product that Jean Michel Jarre could be artistically satisfied with, the DVD, as Francis Dreyfus Music planned to release it, would have done more harm than justice to what remains a milestone event.

A mere DVD copy of the VHS format, where the original images and sound are far from optimum, where no Bonus nor Extras are proposed, with artwork that lacked punch...would have led to a less than mediocre product sold at normal price.

Moreover, it is important to underline that Jean Michel Jarre was not consulted or informed of the release by Francis Dreyfus Music, this in itself is sufficient to oppose it.

As you know, Jean Michel Jarre takes too much pride in his work and care in his creation, to allow it, and you, to be exploited, without the necessary investment of offering the best standard possible.

We thank you in advance for your continuous support and understanding, especially in this case.
