"For any Jarre fan--particularly fans of his earlier works (70's & 80's)--this collection of pieces from the Houston/Lyon concerts is the best concert album available. The version of Ethnicolor which opens the album reverbs, and gives really open feeling of a concert piece. Second Rendezvous is played in its *entirety* (unfortunately rare on many concert releases), features full choir and of course the backing of fireworks. The little-heard Equinoxe Part 7 is featured and makes an etheral concert piece. And finally, IMHO, the version of Fourth Rendezvous played here is the best rendition to date - even beats Hank Marvin's accompanyment from the Docklands concert. Worth the purchase just to get these excellent convert variations on the pieces."
