Seems like Sony have giving up deleting tracks on Youtube. They are all over now, multiple times. The PSB track is getting by far the most interest. Single release..nudge hint Sony.

That would be a problem. Pet Shop Boys have their own single release schedule, with Twenty-Something being the next single soon. And then there's probably one or two more (I'm hoping for Undertow and Burn). So if there's going to be a single release of Brick England, it's probably going to be either not or late this year.

I don't see any problem! It's a Jarre-single and a different label than the PSB-single. Why people create always a problem and don't see the positive thing about it.

Cyndi Lauper released her new album too at Friday May 6. No problems with that!

Yes but you're not a record label, are you?

No, I'm not a record label that's thru. It's sad that they see always problems and not the positive thing of it.

I sort of had a feeling that I liked E2 more than E1, but with my questionable "tracks from a JMJ studio album I'll most likely feel like listening to on their own"* statistics, E1 still ranks higher on the list.

* = For example, while I do think that Oxygene 3 is a fine track, it's probably once every 2 years when I actually think "I should listen to Oxygene 3 without listening through the entire album OR just side A of the album"

EQUINOXE - 88%
(Leftover track: Part 2)
CHRONOLOGIE - 88%
(Leftover track: Part 7)
OXYGENE 7-13 - 86%
(Leftover track: Part 11)
OXYGENE - 83%
(Leftover track: Part 3)
RENDEZ-VOUS - 83%
(Leftover track: Part 1)
REVOLUTIONS - 80%
(Leftover tracks: Tokyo Kid, Computer Weekend)
LCM - 80%
(Leftover track: Part 3)
COUSTEAU - 75%
(Leftover tracK: WfC)
ZOOLOOK - 71%
(Leftover tracks: Diva, Wooloomooloo)
ELECTRONICA 1 - 69%
(Leftover tracks: If!, Conquistador, Zero Gravity, Rely on Me, Watching You)
ELECTRONICA 2 - 67%
(Leftover tracks: These Creatures, Exit, What You Want, Switch on Leon, The Architect, Walking the Mile)
METAMORPHOSES - 67%
(Leftover tracks: Hey Gagarin, Tout Est Bleu, Miss Moon, Silhouette)
TEO & TEA - 15%
(Leftover tracks: All but "OK, Do It Fast" and "Vintage")

Not that the statistics directly indicate what my favorite albums are (then the list would go in an order like Equinoxe, Oxygene, Chronologie, Oxygene 7-13, Zoolook, Rendez-Vous etc.), but it's mostly a cop-out in situations where I'd have to choose between Electronica 1 and 2 etc.

That's really cool! And it's actually quite a while ago since this was released!

I successfully identified what it is a couple of days ago. It is a "1630 Bode Frequency Shifter" and I'm 99.9% sure this is the exact image that was embedded in the spectrogram:

COUSTEAU - 75%
(Leftover tracK: WfC)

[...]

Not sure if 75% make sense, if WfC is leftover, because WfC is ca. 66% of the album
For this album it is the other way round for me: skip - skip - skip and track 4 it is

But a cool list - thinking about creating a list on my own.

[Finaero]

Well, the title track in WFC is a majestic one and definitely one of JMJ's more creative efforts... but not one that I tend to listen through 100% that often.

Would be interesting to make a JMJ Track Rating project in the vein of Wayne Studer's PSB ratings, no doubt. :]

[Finaero]

No! It's a beautiful intro. Part 3 or 4 for me.

Exactly. But I'd never listen to Rendez-Vous 1 only without continuing on to RV2.

To make it clear, that list of mine was about "how many tracks per JMJ (studio) album do I actually listen to?".

If I made a list about which JMJ tracks I do like (regardless of IF I only listen to them when I'm listening through an entire album - e.g. Oxygene 3 or Equinoxe 2 or RV1 or IF I only listen to them with other tracks - e.g. Oxygene 1-3, Equinoxe 2-4, RV1-2 etc.), then the list would be quite one-sided, because every album from Oxygene to Oxygene 7-13 would be at 100%, and only the ones from Metamorphoses onwards would have different (yet in some cases higher numbers).

[EDIT] To make things worse, I came up with a graph chart



(Rating 1 being "tracks I could listen on their own" and Rating 2 being "tracks that I like")

It's complicated, yes, but it's fun.

In Electronica 2's case, if I were to list the songs from the album that I don't really like at all, it would only consist of What You Want and Walking the Mile (the latter might count if it were an instrumental). Yes, even Exit, but I don't actually feel like listening to Exit at the moment... or ever? Who knows.
