Metamatic Forums John Foxx Collaborations Secret life

I noticed that the A Secret Life track on My Space has had a far superior number of plays to the other samples up there.
Its double the number of any of the other tracks.
I am guessing Jansen's fanbase is big.

I bet that the Japan fans, who probably follow Jansen and Sylvian will naturally have taken a great interest in this.

I imagine it's the same for Cocteau/Guthrie/Violet Indiana fans, who may take an interest in Mirrorball.

It would be interesting to be able to compare initial sales or even pre-order figures with these 2 collaborations against other releases such as My Lost City.

Is it something to do with it just being top of the list?

Whenever I visit the site, this track plays automatically and I have to choose any of the others

It's the way it's been setup Martin.

You can either have it not play at all,play random track or play the same track every time someone visits.

Further A Secret Life plug duly set up via Sylvian-Jansen fansite connections this side of the Alps..
