Tarkus by Rudess

Hi. New here and first post. I’ve just recently converted from TIDAL to Deezer and it rocks! I’ve had no beefs at all with Deezer until this morning. More of a question really. Two of my favorite tunes in the Prog Rock world are covers of Tarkus (ELP) and Sound Chaser (YES) by Jordan Rudess. The album these songs are from is “The Road Home.” That album exists in Deezer, but the two songs I mention above are greyed out and cannot be played.

Can anyone explain why this would be?

Many thanks,

Cap

Hi @Capndad !

That is mean that This track is not available in your country .

Streaming rights are defined by territory - country, region, location. The tracks that appear in the search box when you're looking for music are the songs that are available in all territories. In a small number of cases, a user in a different country may not have access to different tracks so an "unavailable in your country" message appears when they try to listen to it.

I've also checked out it myself and also in The Netherlands those 2 numbers aren't accessible.

But I find it a bit odd that those 2 songs are available at Spotify and Tidal, so it could be something else?

It’s the same on the album page in Germany, both cover versions are greyed out and not playable with the same popup info when hovering the tracks with your mouse. As has been mentioned, the reason is varying copyrights for these cover songs per country and streaming site. My guess is that they are playable for Deezer users in the US. Where are you located?

Thank you for your replies. But if that's the case, why are they available on Tidal, or other streaking services? Are copyrights applied to individual songs rather than whole albums? The rest of the album is playable.

Thanks

I think the problem with these two songs is that they are cover versions by Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer where their copyright holders (probably different from the one for Jordan Rudess) do not allow global playback for Deezer, but for Tidal.

@Capndad indeed, copyrights are negotiated within different platforms, and also within songs and different types of subscriptions.

Thanks. THat makes sense I guess, although I assume the negotiations that take place must be at a fairly high level. i.e. they don’t negotiate song by song. I guess I’ll just keep accessing TIDAL and Spotify for those that Deezer doesn’t have available.

Good thought. Thanks

Hi. I’m in Canada. Both Tidal and Spotify have these songs in this country.
