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.
