They were able to reproduce the problem? And what if they didn't? We'd be fucked!? :|

I too have the white noise/static issue with my album download therefore I sent an email to the relevant people.

Pretty shoddy management/preparation if you ask me. People have been looking forward to this since E1. Luckily I picked up a CD copy in store as well so I'm listening to that as I type right now. So far the new album is...

UTTERLY INCREDIBLE, FAR FAR BETTER THAN E1 in my opinion, it's a magnificent and sublime piece of work and I still have half the album to go. It's so great to have the master back on TOP FORM for both E1 & E2.

So I got first part of that golden deluxe box. I never seemed to receive anything about the second part for this. Everything I can find on pre-order of second part, seems to be the cheaper vinyl-set.
I have never seen anything about the "golden" part two.
What did you guys do here?
Somewhere I was lost in that confusion on the different versions released.

Email them and day you never received the email for the second deluxe boxset. That's what I did and I received a link to order it anyway.

I wouldn't consider it disgusting as much as incompetent. You check the files after you've uploaded to make sure it went up correctly. Which they flatout didn't do.

Initial thoughts.

Tracks that I like the best:
Why This, Why That and Why
Swipe to the Right
Falling Down

( Not sure why those two collaborations have struck to me as my current favorites... possibly because I honestly didn't expect them to be of any note, maybe ;) )

Tracks that I like:
The Heart of Noise 1 and 2, Brick England, As One, Here For You, Electrees, Exit, Gisele, Switch on Leon, Circus, The Architect

So that's about 77% of the album

"The Heart of Noise (Origin)" is quite superfluous, and I don't really hate the other tracks but they haven't really hit me in any way yet. Also, has Christophe always sung like that, because his vocals sound a bit too much like "old man wheezing" to me. >_>

Also, for some reason I keep on imagining the chorus solo from Oxygene 8 in the chorus of Brick England. And for that matter, the (possibly unintentional?) throwback to Ethnicolor in As One was nice, but I think JMJ should have let go of the Metamorphoses vocodering a bit and reused the one from Revolutions instead ;)

Although I still think the Hans Zimmer track is the best thing Jarre has been involved in since the late 90's, I'm finding the some of the "space invader" fx sound a little harsh via headphones. I don't get this harshness via speakers though, so it still sounds incredible.

Received my email link to the download from MyPlayDirect yesterday in good time. Unfortunately, the same issue occurred as others have experienced, namely over two hours of white noise.

Emailed MyPlayDirect this morning and hopefully the issue is resolved soon.

I ordered Electronica Volume 2 Deluxe Box last September and the website is currently reporting "Ships on or before June 3, 2016". Not sure what disaster will befall this release. I expect to receive half a dozen Deluxe Boxes and upside down posters, haha.

Still, mustn't grumble as I made £300 from the second Volume 1 Deluxe Box that MyPlayDirect sent me.

This is why the album called "The Heart of Noise".
"The Heart of White Noise"?

Indeed. The cover confirms that.
