Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of "Deserted Palace", studio album written & performed by Jean Michel Jarre in 1972, during his work experience at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales).
In 1971, an order was placed with producer Francis Dreyfus to provide sound for public places such as airports and libraries. He decided to pass the project on to Jean-Michel, who had recently been signed by his record company.
These fifteen tracks are made with only two synthesizers (EMS VCS3 & Farfisa organ) in an experimental and very minimal style.
"It was a crazy album, totally homemade, with rhythms that I made in my student room, with a minimum of equipment and at the same time electronic sounds that I stole from the GRM where I went at night after stealing the keys to the studios. It is a pirate record, in every sense of the word, in which we find what I did afterwards.” JMJ

1971年、プロデューサーのFrancis Dreyfus（フランシス・ドレフュス）に、空港や図書館などの公共施設の音響が依頼された。彼は、最近レコード会社と契約したばかりのJean Michel Jarreにこのプロジェクトを任せることにした。ここに収録された15曲は、最小限たった2台のシンセサイザー（EMS VCS3とFarfisa organ）を駆使して完全DIY制作された実験的でミニマルなスタイルの遊び心にも満ち溢れたクレイジーでサイケデリック強烈な電子音楽作品となっている。彼のその後のキャリアにとっても非常に重要な作品。全15曲。
「このアルバムはクレイジーで、完全に自家製で、最小限の機材で学生の部屋で作ったリズムと、スタジオの鍵を盗んで夜な夜な通ったGRMから盗んだ電子音で構成されている。このレコードは、あらゆる意味で海賊版であり、その後に私が何をしたかがわかる。" Jean-Michel Jarre」 (コンピューマ)
