    	I can only help a litte, other albums include 'Oxygene',
    	'Equinox' 'China concerts'?? (live) and 'The Essential
    	J-M J' (greatest hits), but I think there are quite a few
    	more.
    
    	On the personal side I only know he's married to Charlotte
    	Rampling the actress.

    Also his dad was Maurice Jarre of film theme fame. His most famous
    theme being Lawrence of Arabia. I think he also did Dr Zhivago although
    I may be wrong on that.

     His last two LP's were:
    
       "Rendezvous"
    This was dedicated to the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger
    especially Ron McNair, who as well as being a scientist was also
    no mean musician. The Rendezvous Houston concert included one piece
    of music, called "Ron's Piece" was written by him and the timing
    of the concert would have coincided with the shuttle orbiting above
    the states and the saxophone part of the track was to be played
    by Ron aboard the shuttle and transmitted 'live' to the concert.
    It would have been amazing if it could have taken place, however,
    sadly we all know what happened to Challenger.
    
         "Revolutions"
    This LP was recorded this year especiaaly for the 'Destination
    Docklands concerts over here in London - a review of which can be
    found somewhere in this conference!
    
      Happy Listening!!

    His "Docklands" concert is being shown on Channel 4 (UK) on Christmas
    Day, with a simultaneous broadcast on Capital Radio (stereo). I
    think the time is 10:40pm.

    Be aware that ZOOLOOK is unlike most of his albums in that he takes a
    lot more risks (i.e. non commercial) in that album than any others.
    (For that reason I think its his best). My next fav is Magnetic Fields,
    though concerts in china (double live) might be a good one to buy next.
    His full output in order is (though I'm sure the spellings wrong) 
    
    OXYGENE
    EQUINOX
    MAGNETIC FIELDS
    CONCERTS IN CHINA
    ZOOLOOK
    RENDEZVOUS
    CONCERT IN HOUSTON
    REVOLUTIONS
    
    as well as a 'greatest hits' THE ESSENTIAL JEAN-MICHEL JARRE' which
    I think was released after ZOOLOOK.

291.7Information and Opinions PleaseUBOHUB::SHELDON_RWed Sep 20 1989 19:2113
    I have been a Jarre fan for around three years now. I was introduced
    to his music by a friend who had a complete set of all the records
    he had released to date. I was told by this friend that a 12" single
    of London Kid from the Revolutions album has been released has anyone
    seen it? And is it any good? Also has anyone been to either the
    Rendezvous Houston or Destination Docklands concerts. If so were
    they as good as the publicity they were given? I'm not sure if I
    should have typed reply but it was the only way I could get into
    the conference.

     Can anyone tell me if Jean-Michel Jarre has a fan club and if so
     could you tell me the address.
