That could well have been true at the time, with all that equipment and a particular way of working, i.e. the Franke/Froese/Schmoelling era. My impression was the technology was made easier and simplified down the years. And no doubt Edgar mellowed out in later years, as you say he was only human. Time passes and you make things up with old friends.Michael66 wrote:I remember that too. He also said some unpleasant things about Baumann in 1983 and later must have changed his opinion. But I don't see much of a problem with that - Edgar was human, not a saint. I just wish he'd have been more open to collaborations of the JMJ kind some decades earlier. His standard reply to such suggestion at that time went something like "Not possible, our tech setup is too effing difficult for having guest musicians!"

Is it just my imagination or did Edgar mention JMJ in a not too positive way quite a few years ago?
I don't recall him saying anything negative about Jarre - must have missed that interview!
