> After this great dinner everybody was djing as Big Paul found some old punk vinyls from Youth's collection.

> 

> When it was my turn I used my Ipod and played some Serge Gainsbourg's tunes that everybody knew (and that always surprises me)

> As i like to play with fire, I played one more track from the Damned Life goes on ;0))  and was quite immediately fired from the DJ's desk ha ha ha

> 

> The dinner finally finished at 3 AM but during the night we went again in the studio below and listened to tracks which were on progress.

> 

> Then Jaz put one CD he got from a guy from NZ if I remember clearly and at a  very high level sound ( i had to use my earplugs) we listened to a kind of music made from a strange and long instrument which sounds as if you were just behind a jet reactor ;0))

> Quite an experience : michael( Youth's assistant ) was astonished.

> 

> I drove back to my hotel very slowly cause in this country by night it's like being on Alien's spaceship : nobody can't hear you when you are shouting .....

> Friday 2nd sept 2011

> On the last day we spent hours listening to new tracks but snipets after snipets and sometimes a whole track without the vocals which weren't recorded yet.

> 

> It's wonderful to listen to tracks "in progress" especially when we had (Jon & I) the unique chance in march 2011to spent one day long in Putney to rehearsals before the short Uk tour and we listened to the "birth" of an unique Geordie's riff jaming with Big Paul of what will become later "Corporate Elect": simply fantastic

> 

> We had many conversations with Jaz and he said that he was really feeling that they still had the potential for 4 or 5 essential tracks in the future....

> 

> Finally i convinced them to let me listen to new full tracks before the end of the day and they sounded very very promising.

> 

> As Youth had to flight back to London earlier we decided all 4 left ( Brenda Jaz Bp and I) to watch a film in circle TV room who looked like a kind of external bunker and decided to watch Millenium (2009 with Noomi Rapace and Jaz had a big laugh when she tattoed her supervisor !!!

> 

> This was kind of a surreal situation : watching a dvd with people who finally are like everybody.... In fact quite like everybody because they a musical talent as an add-on.

> 

> On the way back to Lyon by plane, i was really enjoying the fact that this opportunity to listen to new material in this kind of location might the last one so i reall had appreciated each minute in Spain.

> And i must mention that I was so welcomed by everybody Youth, his girlfriend Amber, Jaz and his wife Brenda, Big Paul and Michael (Youth's assistant who I met first in London 2009)

> 

> Quite 6 months after, on the sunday 19th of february 2012 i went to Geneva for meeting Jaz and went to restaurant with the swiss guy Jean Marie where he always stays since quite 30 years almost (owner of the records shop SOUNDS) and after we spent the whole afternoon listening to the new album MMXXII in perfect sound conditions.

> This should have taken place at Blatte cafe owned by Jaz's daughter and her mum the night before but Jaz was tired so..

> 

> Jaz had papers with all the lyrics so i could follow much more easily the themes of the songs.

> I was very impressed by Corporate Elect and pleased to discover the final version after UK rehearsals and Spain production.

> 

> It's quite a mix of Struggle for the power and The wait for the riff : one of the best tunes since Money is not our song.

> 

> Then Jaz warned me for the next track : he loved it and should be better than Love Like Blood
