Various early singles and collaborations
(still under costruction)

Detailed information on some of these works is available at Galaxie Jarre.

Popcorn
Black bird
Cover version of famous Gershon Kingsley tune was issued in 1971 on 7" under the name "Popcorn Orchestra". On Popcorn Jarre only plays bass (quite awfully). "Black bird" will be included on Deserted Palace LP as "Bridge of Promises".

Freedom Day
Synthetic Man
Another collaboration with Samuel Hobo from 1972 7". Don't blame for wasting time to download and listen this "music", I warned you ;)

Recreation
Le Matin du Premier Jour
1972, collaboration with Triangle.
