Maybe some of you noticed before... I never noticed until I stumbled upon a statement indicating that the track Akropolis is a rework of the song Give me a Sign.

I knew about the "Akropolis" and "Give Me A Sign" link. In the same way, the opening track of the Concerts In China "The Overture" is the first movement of "Magnetic Fields Part 1" slowed down. Meanwhile, "Aero" and "Je Me Souviens" share the same melody.

Interestingly, none of these connections are mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_J ... ple_titles

Oh yeah, I think Akropolis' similarities to Give Me A Sign have been mentioned before*. Nice to see that the official site actually acknowledges them.

(* = As were the similarities of Palawan and the first part of Chronologie pt.8, wink wink)
