I was looking for all music from john foxx, but i notice that their are about 5 jingles (or by other name Musique D'Ameublement)in total. So i would like to ask if is possible to someone share all the jingles (by 360kbps mp3 or less), because i would like to complete a colection of 79 - 80s ages of metamatic and from brussels with love.

I would like to someone coment about this musics to understand in deep.

I'm curious about the jingles as well. I've got two, which were on one of the versions of From Brussels With Love, but I believe I'm still missing three of them.

I think I got all the jingles. I can't remember how I got them or where I put them. Personally I didn't find them worth bothering with...

You can read the definitive FBWL listings here:

http://www.metamatic.com/zDiscdocs02/frombrusselswithlove.html

which detail the release of all the jingles except the most recent reissues. And there is some info about which jingle features on which release in this thread

http://www.metamatic.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000109

Hope this helps.

The jingles themselves are very short ( no more than 30-odd seconds) and serve as almost incidental 'linking' pieces on the FBWL project. They are interesting experiements with repetition and echo (ref the interview with Eno on FBWL) and give some light onto John's attempt to understand and ultimately create 'systematic' music.
Also fascinating as they represent a significant move away from the Metamatic project which was more or less left behind once the 80s began and Foxx travelled into Europe to defrost...

It's a fantastic interview at the turn of the decade and Brian Eno plays the part very well. He's very confident and knows he has produced some ground-breaking material in the decade gone by.

Another fantastic release is his book with Russell Mills, More Dark Than Shark. Not a lot of copies were released at the time and it's now become an auction item. It does happen with most work by Russell. His involvement in the book are his trademark sketches. John mentioned this one in one of the interviews in his much circulated fan-based DVDs.

So in a complete list we could have this:

A Jingle = Musique d'Ameublement

1. 00:30
2. 00:14
3. 00:13
4. 00:14
5. 00:35


In Metamatic Discography it have this times:
0:25
0:08
0:13
But could be wrong.

So this experiment open/close album tracks is maded for a systematic music.
I found a website that include more jingles, but it could be a fake list:

Not really 'made for' anything else. I believe the pieces were recorded especially for this project.

Track times vary on every lsiting everywhere... :rolleyes:
