AERO (Anthology of Electronic Revisited Originals) is a 2004 compilation album by electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, recorded in 5.1 surround sound and released by Warner Music on 20 September 2004.[1] The album contains three new tracks (the title track which is a rework of "Je Me Souviens", from Jarre's 2000 album Métamorphoses, using the same main melody but with no vocals),[2] and a bonus live track. All tracks are sewn together through surround-sound "Scenes".[3]

The album includes a CD and a DVD; the DVD-Video features Dolby Digital and DTS audio, whereas the CD is in stereo, mixed to give a more spacious impression than usual. Jarre chose the DVD-Video format instead of the higher-quality DVD-Audio or SACD because he claimed that DVD-Video was the most widespread format, with the generalization of home cinema setups.[4]

The video accompanying the music on the DVD show the eyes of French actress Anne Parillaud, listening to the music for the full length of the album. Johan Carlsson of Release Magazine considered that "this is a good introduction to Jarre's music and while the new tracks aren't much to write home about, its something for the old fans as well."
