 In 1988 Jarre released Revolutions . The album spans several genres , including symphonic industrial , Arabian inspired , light guitar pop and ethnic electro jazz . A two @-@ hour concert called Destination Docklands was planned for September 1988 , to be held at the Royal Victoria Dock in east London . Close to the heart of London , the location was chosen in part for its desolate environment , but also because Jarre thought the architecture was ideally suited for his music . Early in 1988 Jarre met with local officials and members of the community , but Newham Borough Council expressed their fears about the event 's safety and delayed their decision on whether to allow the concert to proceed until 12 September eventually rejecting the licence application . The local fire service were also concerned about access in the event of a fire . Site work continued as Jarre 's team searched for alternative locations in which to stage the concert , but following improvements to both on and off @-@ site safety Jarre eventually won conditional approval on 28 September to stage two separate performances , on the 8th and 9 October .
