(("LIGHT MY SKY SEXY GIRL" is memorable but not really for a good reason ))

Cringeworthy when JmJ talks about Electronic Music as "Sex" or EM concerts not being "Sexy"

JmJ hold your dignity.
Stay away from talking this way.

You know what was cringeworthy - that animated GIF of musical notes having sex with each other posted on JMJ's official profile on Aug 24th captioned "Happy Birthday to me"...

On another, more important note:

By the way - so it turns out that the ~30 sec snippet we heard in the "A Journey into sound" documentary by Arte was indeed a pretty much final version of "Here for you" (JMJ+Gary Numan) - not some early phase, as one might be guessing.

Oh no guys! I try really hard to not listen to releases or songs by favorite artists before the street date. Maybe it's given the job I have, but I want to hear the album in full once it comes out. The comments on it not being as good are making me nervous!!

I've not listened to any ΞLΞCTRONICA 2 track except Brick England... It's hard, but just a few days, We'll make it, trust me!

Nothing on E1 has been dissed as much as the Peaches and E.S tracks on E2

Except maybe 'Glory' ...... by me

And the Peaches track. It's horrendous.

Already covered by "nothing on E1 has been dissed as much as the Peaches track"

3 days left, really looking forward to hearing these tracks myself...

... yet my cancelled MyPlayDirect order STILL says "Cancellation Requested". Knowing MyPlayDirect, they'll probably ship and bill it to me anyway in July (2116).

Hah, I meant Little Boots!

They're so bad that I mix them up apparently...

Ok, T-3 days - no website is streaming it for free by any chance like that Canadian CBC website the last time? (also, all tracks were made available on official youtube a couple of days prior to the release)

[Finaero]

Bah, I never have any ideas for remix contests. But at least this way we got a rather nicely mixed version of HoN parts 1 and 2.

I have already had the opportunity to write an extended review of "Electronica 2 - The Heart of Noise":

Please don't read it yet if you want to hear the album yourself first:-)

Raw WAV files of each section of the track (drums, synths, bass, etc.). There's about 6 or 7 of them (and some of them could have been divided even further, IMO).... and for some reason they're there twice.

(The duplicate files are in an "Ableton" folder, as if to suggest something)

In other words, if anything, you can make your own mix of the track which will probably be better than the Loudness War CD edition that's coming out in 2 days (which I'm getting anyway, but still).

Thanks. I expected to read more about track 17, which is significant being in fact a solo track and also very reminiscent of so-called "classic JMJ" (at least from what I heard in the previews so far).
