Movement 3 is Pokémon.

Video description says "Machines are learning, 1952" but this is actually a very short excerpt from "All that you leave behind (movement 4)".

(...) Infinity is definitely not "techno". It's a pop song build with the infamous 4-chord progression ( )(...)

Like a couple of other Jarre tunes, yes, indeed.

Which ones?, as I honestly don't recall any.

Nevertheless my statement is still valid - it's not "techno", it's a "mediocre pop song".

An in other news, turns out that "Opening (Movement " is actually "Coachella Opening". Track time is different (4:16 vs 3:58 on Planet Jarre), so there's some hope that it's a different version but then again those can be just opening/ending sound effects. One may help but wonder what was the point of releasing in Planet Jarre (we could have gotten Web Spinner instead!).

He's actually dropped down a notch from "amateur troll" to "utterly incompetent at trolling" this year.

Most likely will only come back on a different nickname. Anyway, I am deleting any offended posts.

Wish he recycled Music for Supermarkets Overture in the album instead. :p

I have listened to the first three officially released tracks and to that mp3 link posted somewhere earlier in this thread of movement 6.

I think it's going to be a great album. I love movements 1 and 2, movement 3 I just discovered that it's out yesterday but I'm positive it will grow on my once I find the themes in the mellotron melody, because at first listen it didn't feel like the melody had clear direction. But that'll grow on me and I'm sure has also a function within the album.

Then the much debated movement 6, I love it! It's a catchy tune done to perfection, the way only Jarre can craft and blend sounds on top of a rhythmic pulsing bassline. It has Jarre's signature skills all over it. The way the lead melody has this sort of 'reversed cymbal type' of attack phase instead of a regular short pluck attack, just give so much more to it, and the VCS3 effects swirling in and out, this is so well done! And it's so catchy, if it was summer now this would be summer-hit on all radio stations. And what's more, to me, I hear references to Equinoxe 5, but more so to Computer Weekend. So for me it's a great blend between Computer Weekend and Equinoxe 5.
