Reported at the start of the year was that long time collaborator Michel Geiss was planning to release his first studio album. The article led to some quarters denying the report, while Michel himself told Revolution that the project was in the early stages, and no definitive deal was signed with Deimos Music. However the project was still on-going and was by no means fiction.
We have just received the latest about the project, with Deimos Music issuing the following statement:
.....
A solo album of Michel GEISS ?
As you know, Michel GEISS has been working with Jean-Michel JARRE as a musical collaborator, since the OXYGENE album. We feel strongly that Michel GEISS has a great musical potential, still to be discovered as an individual composer. We are trying to motivate both Michel GEISS and a major record company to get a full album recorded. As we thought you might be interested in such a project, we would be grateful to know if you would support us in our goal.
Any comment from you would be very welcome, and could help the project happen.
Please mail us at :

Thank you

The project has now come to a crossroads and a final decision whether the project will be reality will be decided in the next few weeks.
What we are asking is for all fans to email geissproject@deimos.de in support of the project and to spread the word as much as possible to other Jean Michel Jarre websites and electronic music websites too. Your voice could make the difference if the project materialises or not, so do not delay, email geissproject@deimos.de today!
We will keep you updated with the latest news of the project.
Big thanks to Matthias Eislöffel of Jarrelook
