The Music Today
Shortly after its sale, the album was played in its full length on Radio Luxembourg. Jarre launched the album with the words "Piratez Moi!" (Pirate Me), and bootlegs of the radio broadcast do exist, although at a very poor quality (the radio station was an AM station). Some of the music, however, has been reworked into subsequent Jarre albums, so the music from the album is not completely lost for the public. The following tracks were reworked:
- Music for supermarkets part 2: Used in "Fifth Rendez-vous part 3" on "Rendez-vous" (1986).
- Music for supermarkets part 3: Used in "Fourth Rendez-vous" on "Rendez-vous" (1986).
- Music for supermarkets part 4: Used in "Blah-Blah Café" on "Zoolook" (1984).
- Music for supermarkets part 6: Used in the second half of "Diva" on "Zoolook" (1984).
In August 2011 a complete remake-album appeared on YouTube. According to the description it was made by members of Zoolook.nl, a forum about Jean Michel Jarre and his work.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or today:
“The manner in which Americans “consume” music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie—it’s consumed that way without any regard for how and why it’s made.”
—Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
“We had to take the world as it was given:
The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
The mornings happened similar and stark
In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
