Edward Snowden Joins Jean-Michele Jarre on New CD

Just when the collaborator list for JEAN-MICHEL JARRE‘s upcoming ELECTRONICA VOL. 2: THE HEART OF NOISE (out May 6 via Sony Music/RED) couldn’t get any more diverse, it can now be revealed that Edward Snowden joined the proceedings as the final name to feature on the project.

Originally announced on the album as just ‘ES,’ Snowden; the whistleblower behind one of the biggest revelations of classified documents, contributes to the fifth track on THE HEART OF NOISE titled “Exit”.

Collaborating from Snowden’s delivery of his core message, JARRE layers and sculpts the American’s words around a driving techno beat that conjures up a grand sense of chase. The release of the track also coincides with an exclusive track story that has been made available to watch now. Having debuted via Rolling Stone recently, fans can see both Jarre and Snowden speaking with one another in the video about music, politics, privacy and more.  

PBS to Release "NOVA: CYBERWAR THREAT" in January on DVD

PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing “NOVA: CYBERWAR THREAT” on DVD. The global cyberwar is heating up, and the stakes are no longer limited to the virtual world of computers. Now, sophisticated cyber weapons unleashed via the Internet can inflict physical damage—destroying control systems that regulate everything from food factories, gas pipelines, power plants and chemical facilities to the elevators in our buildings.

It may seem farfetched that a computer program can wreak destruction from a distance. But the United States is investing billions of dollars in this new form of warfare—and we’re not alone. Allies and enemies alike are rushing to develop these weapons. But what will this new arms race mean for our future? Will it make the U.S. more vulnerable to cyber attacks and retaliation?

“NOVA: CYBERWAR THREAT” will be available on DVD January 5, 2016. The run time of the program is approximately 60 minutes, and the SRP is $24.99. The program will also be available for digital download.  Watch  the trailer, below from Baker & Taylor AV.
