I am very new to Trance so please excuse my ignorance here... Has anyone ever used/mixed any of Jean-Michel Jarre's music. While he cetainly isn't quite trance... there are striking resemblances and had he the technology in his time surely would have been here?

Check out Takkyu Ishino's remix of Oxygen. I don't think it's the proper "trance" you're looking for, but may do the trick

Yeah, I think so that there are some similarities with JArre, Vangelis... music and trance.
I remember when I was a child and my mum listened Jarre's music and I liked this stuff.
Jarre was one of the people that inspired the future artists. His shows (his stuff mixed with incredible light shows) back in the mid 90's on Bastille Day drew 2 million people. I wonder what he is up to now.

The reason there are so many similarities is because people like Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, that guy who did Musique Concrete (can't remember the name), Vangelis, and Giorgio Moroder (amongst others) were the pioneers of electronic music as we know it today. It's almost a guarantee that any music producer out there in the electronic music field was either influenced directly by one of these pioneers, or was influenced by another producer who was in turn influenced by one of the pioneers.
