Recently released this month was an album compiled by the the artist Nick Bracegirdle - aka Chicane - entitled ‘VISIONS OF IBIZA’. Chicane is known to many as the radio-friendly dance producer responsible for “Offshore” and one of 2000’s biggest single collaborations, “Don’t Give Up” with Bryan Adams.

What is unique to Jarre Fans about this compilation though is the fact that the FULL LENGTH album version of OXYGENE PART 2 is featured as Track 10 on the first CD.

The compilation itself is a 24-track selection that Chicane has personally chosen himself that, although not directly relating to the music of Ibiza, actually “captures the same spiritual essence” of what he feels Ibiza is all about. Quote: “Some of the tracks have had a defining, inspirational influence on my music while others reflect my current view of Ibiza”.

The album is released by Beechwood Music Ltd and can be purchased directly from their website. The Catalogue number is CHICCD01.

In an effort to improve the overall feel of the website, we talked to fans both on the Internet, and at the ‘AKROPOLIS’ Concerts in Athens, to ask their opinion on JARRE UK.

Based on Feedback we received, we have changed the overall deisgn of the website, and graced it with an Official JARRE UK Logo, as seen on our T-Shirts by Fans who went to the ‘AKROPOLIS’ Concerts in Athens.

Also, we have chosen this day to re-launch JARRE UK in order to pay tribute to previous concerts held by Jean Michel Jarre on (July 14th) which is known to the people of France as Bastille Day.

Thanks for the support of everyone, and also thanks to everyone with their suggestions on improvement to the website. Cheers!
