Jean Michel Jarre's Agony

Who here is old enough or French enough to know Jean Michel Jarre?  He has a track on his new album called 'Beautiful Agony', with background samples of a woman making silacious noises in a very porn-parody sort of way.   You can find it on You-Tube.

Re: Jean Michel Jarre's Agony

Don't know him but it reminds me of a song called Je t'aime (sp)
and was done by a guy speaking (singing) to a female in the
background who was enjoying her own little agony. The female
was Jane Birken, can't remember the male vocalist, the song was
recorded in the late 60's or early 70's and was banned om every
Canadian radio station because of the immoral explicit sexuality.

It would probably still be banned today as well. 

Amazingly, it's Googable and also on YouTube

Ashmedi is an ancient god of rage and lust. I don't feel rage, but the lust part fits like a glove.

"Cheer up, things could be worse" somebody once told me. So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.

Re: Jean Michel Jarre's Agony

Oh I well remember Jean Michel Jarre, one of my earliest childhood memories is of excitedly dancing around the dining room whenever my parents played his Oxygene album. He was absolutely huge here in the UK in the late 70's / early 80's.

Sounds like he might be a member of our favourite site!

Re: Jean Michel Jarre's Agony

Is it just me, or didn't Donna Summer do it better back in 1975?

BTW, in "researching" (aka Googling) this, I happened across the most fascinating and amusing wiki. I wonder if the pleas to "help expand this section" are intentionally or unintentionally hilarious?

There was once a link to Agony in that entry.

Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg.  He recorded it first with Brigitte Bardot but apparently she decided she didn't want it released.
