If I closed my eyes and just listened I would swear it was Jean Michel playing. Amazing job dude 👍🏻

[@thhedk]

Thanks man :)

[@JotaCeDenton]

i'm shocked by the level of accuracy you've reached, dude. There are few who can achieve that. Keep doing such an awesome work.

[@thhedk]

Well that's me, the perfectionist :) Thanks! :)

Playing this at a gig will blow peoples minds, a true copy of music, I only can play a few Jarre songs myself, well done lad,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@trizvanov]

Would love to hear your cover of Arpeggiator, Thomas.

[@Pichustrikesback]

Man you make the most faithful covers! I could hear the lady speaking chinese in my head while listening to the intro.

[@thhedk]

Haha best compliment ever :D

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

Joseph Schreiber God, I was just about to say that myself about the Chinese announcer

[@blackmarjot]

exactly !

[@albertocabezas282]

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic rendition.

[@emilmontgomery3373]

Excellent cover. I would never expect that Dominics solo sound coming from a Kawai! Double challenge.

[@johnsaunders6510]

I was listening to the original today and then listened to this. Simply stunning. Well done.

[@thhedk]

Thank you so much :)

[@TheLorenzoange]

Excellent !!! tellement proche de l'original, Bravo ! (Amazing !! very similar from original , Congratulation ! )

[@HuzJorDedi]

The best slowed down version of Magnetic Fields EVER!!! Great work!

[@vendingdudes]

I was thinking it seemed the tiniest tiniest but slow too. Very nice.

[@DANIEL-mr7br]

​@@vendingdudes Hola ES FIEL al original en TODO inclusive2el sonido del último teclado 🎹🎛️ que es un KAWAY, un CORDIAL saludo desde Madrid 🍻🙋.

[@laurentiuspiratos9471]

ThomasH , I discovered your JMJ covers recently . This is a Masterpiece.....

[@brianvassallomusic]

amazing replication, that shows the perfectionist person that you are in sound.

[@thhedk]

Thanks! Yes it's sometime a problem :)

[@MauricePoos]

As a Jarre fan for over 25 years I would like to compliment you on this. Truly amazing!

[@thhedk]

Thank you very much

[@R---66---R]

Mostly not very keen on covers of Jean Michel, this one is one of the few exceptions! Seven years old, this upload, still grabs you!

[@Subliminal2022]

Incredible, this track is spot on, just like listening to the maestro himself, all you need now is the Chinese lady to introduce you (He! He!). I thought that this piece would be hard for you to recreate, but you sailed through it & the instruments were perfect. 💯👍

[@thhedk]

Thanks man! Yes I once got a comment saying : I swear I could here that Chinese lady! :D This was one of the easy covers because I doesn't have so many parts to recreate. ;)

[@laurentiuspiratos9471]

Happy New Year 2024 Thomas!!

[@thhedk]

Thanks, you too

[@lucaviggiani2189]

It took a while for me to realise that a lot of sequences on the Magnetic Fields album were delayed and repeated, fairly simple sequences but thrown about from left to right in the stereo field. Given that Overture was a slowed down Magnetic Fields 1, it was always one of my favourite pieces. Great cover.

[@thhedk]

He uses this kind of delay a lot in his music. In the first 3 albums he could only make the delay 347 ms because he used Revox B77 tape delay, so the RPM on the song was fixed ;)

[@ruic323]

I'm a Jean-Michel Jarre fan since 1981, very hard to please and your cover is fantastic. Congratulations. You get one more subscriber.

[@AlanPurpleOwls]

I was 5 when this was released and listened to it all my life, great work friend!

Wow incredible version of this amazing song. You’ve nailed it sound wise, and the playing is spot on!

Thanks. This is the one I'm most proud of :)

[@MeanderingNL]

Hmmm... You sure your name is Thomas and not Jean-Michel?!? Seriously awesome and I would love to hear how you did the first sound (Starting at 0:20 seconds): Lot of reverb/echo and bouncing it over the channels? Saw it was a Roland, but synth or midi keyboard? Oh, and many kudo's for leaving out the Chinese announcer...

[@thhedk]

Thanks, Nope Thomas is my name :) It's a quite simple sound I made in Reason with Left/right delay. Everything is made in Reason, so all keyboards are only show - the solo is played live though. Yes also I left out the boring drum part ;)

[@MeanderingNL]

@ThomasH Well, you have serious talent, not just replicating Jarre (Which is awesome), but also your own music: You should definitely get some music on Tidal and other platforms (if you haven't already). I hope you can find a good producer who helps you get the exposure your music deserves (but doesn't rip you off). I dabble around a bit with Ableton myself, but no talent here though ;)

[@MeanderingNL]

​@@thhedk Ow, forgot: Kudo's for leaving out the original drums, I found those drums too invasive. Your combo is really nice and has this lovely cadence

[@timreeves3288]

Fantastic cover

[@janmenzinga]

Truly amazing, Thomas! I'll try out that second piece with both the wheels... should be very great to able to play that. Compliments for you!
