Hi!

I've listened to the whole album a few times now, and I've picked out quite a few similarities to other electronic artists:

Fresh News - The Human League's "Love And Dancing" remix album (brilliant album, I suggest you all try it out)
Beautiful Agony - Kraftwerk's "Sex Object" gone porno-groove :mrgreen:
Touch To Remember - A lot of William Orbit's producing from Madonna's "Ray Of Light" album in here, the synth arps stink of it!
Partners In Crime 1 - Brian Eno's "Fractal Zoom" from Nerve Net, the drum beats are almost the same!
Partners In Crime 1 - The "come to me" vocals remind me
Chatterbox - Bitstream's "Domestic Economy 7" album: Glitchy dance with scratching, check this album out too!
Gossip - The strange low pulsing underneath the beat reminds me of "Kladfvgbung Micshk" from Aphex Twin's "drukqs" album, another essential.
Melancholic Rodeo - With rapping replacing the solo, this could easily be classed as grime (not crap, it's a new genre quickly spreading across Britain, think Dizzee Rascal)

I'm not criticising Jarre's work here, I think it's very good, but there are definitely strong clues that JMJ is listening to an even bigger range of music than he was at around Oxy 7-13 (Underworld, Aphex Twin and Les Rhythmes Digitales).

If you've got any more additions, I'll edit this post and put them in!

Thanks,
JK

The "Come to me" in Partners in Crime reminded me at Beavis and Butthead.

I don't know the relations between Brian Eno, JMJ and the videoclip, but thanks for linking to that video, Now know why I have difficulties making that nice drum'n'bass or jungle loop.

Well, there are enough ppl who say T&T and Tiesto's "Lethal Industry" are quite similar :)

It has many similarities with Pavarotti's stuff too indeed.

Vintage - "Fade To Grey" by Visage (at least the opening chords)
Partners In Crime 1 - "Hey Gagarin" (there's that sample from "HG" in it, I'm sure!)

The drum loop used is DEFINITELY NOT the Amen Break, I've heard that loop and seen that same youtube video many times and I can assure you JMJ hasn't used it anywhere in the new album.

Yeah, I think that's the same sound, and even the same notes somewhere in it :P

Which sound are we talking about? :P the strings?

Anyway, I noticed that Joachim Garraud is written as the artist if you play the album in Windows Media Player, didn't he only work on the T&T 4:00 AM mix?

Take a look then 8)
I found it on both editions. Some information used in WMP is from some database on the internet, but some is also from the intern files.
