Wow, can't believe the USA gets such a special treatment with all those Jarre releases... usually it takes months or years to get the stuff... Now, a tour here would be in order in 2017...

Cheers,

It's certainly an encouraging sign, that's for sure ...

Hey guys I'm about to pre order vol 2 but just wondering if there's any kind of offers available, I've seen vol 1 and 2 together for around £94 on Amazon but just wondering what other offers etc there is.

Thanks

Brick England has been put online (unnoficially, I suppose)

Not sure if streaming links are allowed here...

I have sworn to myself that I won't listen to any track of the new album until the full album was available, but I didn't know PSB worked with him. So here's the exception to that rule!

And it does sound fantastic! Might be one of my favorite tracks of the Electronica project!
Thanks man!

The previous 1-minute excerpt, while pretty good, didn't really impress'a'me much, but the full track is just fantastic. Possibly my 3rd favorite overall of the whole Electronica project (following Immortals and Stardust).



And yes, like Dr_Jones, I'm avoiding listening to any further revealed tracks from the album until the actual release, but I made an exception for this one a long time ago on the virtue of JMJ and PSB being my absolute favorite artists.

fantastic track! these bitcrushed vocoder sounds and D50 revolution lead sounds cutting through a fantastic sounding mix with PSB voices and catchy melody. Damn great!!

Evening
When the sun begins to sink
Behind the smoke
There's a burning red glow
All around...

Watching
As the colour starts to fade
And the darkness
Seems to rise out of the ground
Of the ground...

Walls, rise and fall
And now that buildings talk
In the city
Brick England

They build them up
And then they
Knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England

Evening
Creeps beyond the terraced walls
Up the church steeples
And the chimney pots so high
So high...

Watching
The moon is lost behind black clouds
And the darkness
Seems to crawl up to the sky
To the sky...

Walls, rise and fall
And now that buildings talk
In the city
Brick England

They build them up
And then they
Knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England

England

They build them up
And then they
Knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England

Brick Lane in the rain
Road closed
Diversion
Snake of tourists meandering under grey cloud
In brick England

Sounds cool "Brick England"! Much better than their "Super"-stuff!

[Jote]

fantastic track! these bitcrushed vocoder

FYI - that is not a "bitcrushed vocoder", it's most likely some kind of FM with sync. Yamaha AN1x has a patch that does this ("WeAllDie"). You can listen to it here:

Here we go again! You say never something nice or friendly on this forum. I guess you have a sad life to be grumpy all the time.
