Yves Pigott, co-author, agrees with Michelle and Camille Goujon from Daft Bank – Incognito (Archipelago).
Nobody sees them stop, anyway. Poussé par l’AFP à filer la métaphore de deux robots qui disparaissent pour devenir des étoiles, Jean-Michel Jarre, figure tutélaire de l’électro, a rebondi: “Non, les étoiles, ce sont des astres que l’on voit quand they died. They are alive and well and will continue their careers. “

The little video that announces their split up on Monday is taken fromElectrum A fictional film produced in 2006 with the helmet. “Would there be the same hysteria about a project by Bangalter or Homem-Christo?
