A guilty pleasure for some, this is probably my favorite Jarre, and I love ALL of his stuff - hell, might even be one of my all time fave scores, due to when I first heard it.....
A reissue probably won't happen - too many people hate this one, the existing album, while super rare, is perfect, and there is only around 3 minutes missing (the mall chase would be great to have, but I don't recall anything else missing).
I always love to boast about how Jarre did his synth scores - recorded live on a small stage, with EVI players, keyboardists, and live percussion. It always sounds like some bizarre, alien chamber music, not just one guy playing his computer in a room somewhere.
Further listening: After Dark, My Sweet/Julia & Julia/Gaby(cellists included on this one)/Dreamscape/Year Of Living Dangerously/Mosquito Coast/the first side-half of Enemy Mine/90 % of Gorillas In The Mist/ and of course, Witness
