Téo & Téa
Téo & Téa is the sixteenth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released in 2007 on Aero Productions and Warner Music labels. Two singles were released, the first, "Téo & Téa", as a promotional for clubs and radio stations and then as a general release. The second, "Vintage", was released in digital download format only, on July 16, 2007, and included two remixes by ATB. The album describes the different stages of a loving relationship, and explores the idea that the length of such relationships is unpredictable. Its release demonstrated a move away from virtual instruments and computers that Jarre had been using up to that point; he instead chose to use a simplified range of devices, including several new prototype instruments. The album's cover was inspired by the David Lynch film Wild at Heart.[4] Jarre's then-wife, Anne Parillaud, provided wailing to the track "Beautiful Agony".[2][5] ReleaseThe album was released on CD in 2007 by Aero Productions and Warner Music labels.[6][7] It was also released with a bonus DVD which features the same tracks mixed for 5.1 surround sound, as well as the video clip for the title track in high-definition, viewable on personal computers.[8] The two computer-generated characters which appeared in the video clip of the title track are "like twins", one is male and one is female.[4] Critical receptionThe Guardian writer Dave Simpson described the album melodies as "infantile", commenting that they "sound like a music-shop demonstration room in 1979".[2] IndieLondon classified the album as "incredibly lively and sets the tone for the tracks that follow."[3] Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote "he may be retro but he's far from tired".[1] Track listingAll tracks are written by Jean-Michel Jarre
