Jean-Michel Jarre - Fishing Junks At Sunset

Track Review
Released: 1982
Download It

Jean-Michel Jarre, the guy who made all that dated spacey-sounding music used in the film Gallipoli, is a fraud.

He's also French.

Fucken french fraud.

What about the track itself? Well, imagine a clueless canto-pop hack wistfully urinating notes into a casio keyboard while admiring the view of fishing junkets in Hong Kong harbour at dusk, and deciding that 1982 is teh kewlest year ever.

There's also a tack-o-rama mid-section which sounds like someone simply pressed the "simulate chinese new year parade" button in Cubase.

Coming to a yum-cha restaurant near you.

8/10 (it's actually really catchy, goddam you Jean)
