Thanks to some mild hacking I managed to pull the full version of Robots Don't Cry from Spotify. The latter half (from 3:14 more or less) is not bad, but the beginning has a very unsettling bass that plays two notes (minor third apart) creating a very unsettling effect (it sounds amateurish)

It maybe a grower but atm to me it sounds like a Oxygene and Chronology track played together.
I loved Electronica (esp the first album) but found Oxygene 3 mainly bland, and after enjoying the first two movements of this album things seem to be going downhill.
The album really needs a catchy crowd pleaser like Equinoxe 5, RV 4, Chrono 4 or Oxy 8, but sadly I don't think we are going to get one. I wonder if JMJ is still capable of writing such a track.

"Infinity (movement 6)" will be the "catchy crowd pleaser". You and I are just not in this particular crowd.
Oxygene 3 is a bit like "Sessions 2016" to me... and interestingly, like Sessions 2000, it was more or less made only because the record company wanted/needed something.
Similarly, Movement 3 seems to be more of a "Sessions 2018" type track.
(That said, I do prefer O3 and Movement 3 to anything from Sessions 2000 )
