Sessions 2000


Sessions 2000 is the fourteenth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus and distributed by Sony Music in 2002. It was released in the U.S. in early 2003.
The album was partly created so he could be free from his contract with Sony Music and FDM. Therefore, it is not so commercially minded. The style is ambient, lounge, chill-out and jazz and the recordings are made from jam sessions along with Francis Rimbert. After 2000's Métamorphoses, Jarre somewhat returned to his usual formula with this album, with it consisting of six mostly long, instrumental tracks, although this time there are short breaks between the tracks, and the track titles are different dates spread over a year, instead of the tracks being indicated as "parts". Some synthesizer workstations, most notably the Roland XP-80, was heavily used. Some of the sounds in this album were used earlier on Interior Music released in 2001.
The CD does not come with an actual booklet. The album cover is just printed on cardboard, with the track listing and credits on the back side.
