Equinoxe on the Rocks

This fantastic track has been flagged up on the Jean Michel Jarre Yahoo! group recently. It's a cover version of Jean Michel's 1978 track Equinoxe 7 by a Norwegian musician called Per Kristian Risvik, and as the name implies, it rocks. The original track is a lot quieter, but still quite driven and exciting. Per Kristian's version just layers in a heavier, pounding bassline and some truly thunderous drums, giving it a more powerful, almost live feel (similar to the version found on Jarre's Houston/Lyon live CDs).

It's well worth a listen, and if you like it, check out some of Per Kristian's other work, which includes some original pieces as well as covers of the Doctor Who theme and the Super Mario jingles!
