Individual Choice is an album by French jazz fusion violinist Jean-Luc Ponty that was released in 1983.
A music video for the title track was produced by Louis Schwarzberg in 1984, consisting of time-lapsed footage of New York City, Chicago, and Seattle. In 1996, the song “Computer Incantations for World Peace” became the basis of the house-music track “Love, Love, Love” by Those Guys.
2009 Bootleg CD
In 2009, a bootleg version of the album was released on CD by a private distributor. The bootleg track listing swaps the placement of tracks 2 and 4. The CD also changed the name of the track "Individual Choice" to "The Inclement Weather Song".
