Amazon is now filled with these strange compilation albums that include single tracks from Jerry Goldsmith's Freud. And most of the time the piece doesn't seem to fit with the so-called mood of the compilation. Then again, none of the titles of the compilations seem to have much relation to the actual content.

Fifth Trumpet Beats
https://amzn.to/3dfZATb

Funky Saxophone Beats
https://amzn.to/3wS0w84

Southern Blues Sunset (which also includes Caruso singing La donne e mobile)
https://amzn.to/3a7h0PS

And there are more.

What - to coin a phrase - the hell?

When I first picked up Freud many years ago, I was immediately struck by the commercial potential of the music, in particular the funky saxophone and trumpet beats, in addition to its southern bluesy quality. I thought to myself, "Why can't these tracks appear on some groovy party compilations?" Someone must have been reading my mind.

Lol, this is no doubt one of the most hilarious posts I've read in these columns. Well done, Onya.

What the hell, indeed!

And I think our friend Onya is definitely on to something.

Maybe someone is following Terry Rawlings' example. If we use Goldsmith's Freud, it will be a hit. Worked for ALIEN.

Was this in 1897 or 1898?

B.F. Skinner?
Carl Jung?
Erikson?

I imagine a poor, overworked algorithm putting in 60 hours a week, in a cramped cubicle, for very little pay.

New weirdo, nonsensical compilations including tracks from Freud.

Gospel Blues Tunes https://amzn.to/3enQ4xR features all your favorite gospel tunes, like Auld Lang Syne, The Lady is a Tramp, and Trauma by Jerry Goldsmith.

Japanese Jazz Melodies https://amzn.to/3b8WcIh includes such musicians as Mahalia Jackson, Fats Waller and, naturally, Jerry Goldsmith's classic Japanese jazz tune, Case Histories.

And, of course, Huge Trumpet Bops https://amzn.to/3ujMcmZ ends with Trauma from Freud.

It's becoming a mantra with me, "The Machine Overlords will fail." When Skynet makes its move, yes, a bunch of us will get shot or baked, or our hair dryers will strangle or electrocute us, and yes, they will win a relatively quick battle, but 20 minutes after victory they're probably all going to just plop down and start imperfectly categorizing things. They'll forget about us, we'll creep out of our warring micro-factions and go back to living. They'll never even notice that they're back to doing what they always were doing.

This is what I learn from algorithms.
