[edit] Harmonium

I get miffed when I read articles that cite that the demo of Enjoy The Silence is played on an organ. The reason it's called Enjoy The Silence (Harmonium) is because it's performed on the popular, adopted by South Asia, instrument of the same name! Sure it's an organ of sorts, but it's a very specific one.

Fixed (for future reference, it probably would've been much easier and faster for you to just make the change yourself, instead of writing about it on the talk page). John5008 | talk to me 17:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I'm proposing merging the contents of Enjoy the Silence 04 into this page, much like how I've written Everything Counts to include the original 1983 release and the 1989 live re-release. Rather than doing this immediately, however, I figured it is best to leave it up to discussion first. If anybody has any objections, please let me know...if not, I'll probably do the merging in about a week's time. John5008 | talk to me 20:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I concur with the merger. I think you did an excellent job with Everything Counts, and I'd like to see the same thing happen here. Acegikmo1 23:23, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

--- I respectfully disagree with the concept of merging distinct singles. Neither "Everything Counts (Live)" nor "Enjoy the Silence 04" are reissues but, rather, discrete singles (unlike "Strangelove" and "Strangelove 88" which I would agree should be merged). I find it simplistic and reductionistic to merge these distinct recordings, especically if the idea is to catalog the singles historically. 72.132.36.31 23:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Alright, there seemed to be no disagreement, so I went ahead with the merger. In addition, I very much appreciate your comments regarding "Everything Counts"...glad to see that didn't go unnoticed. :) John5008 | talk to me 04:10, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

--- I also disagree with the merger on the grounds that they're independent singles. It's fine if something's been reissued, like Strangelove '88, but if they're completely different singles with different catalogue numbers and b-sides, etc. leave well enough alone. I've seen it across the site and it really doesn't work.
