So _that's_ what that is... anyone know offhand where I can get a copy of the single?

Different commercial - I think the Biosphere Levi's ad was UK/Europe only. This ad, complete with beautiful girl and pool boy, has a kind of spaghetti Western/slo jungle feel too it. Very, very interesting stuff! Can anyone id it? Dave

I know the commercial of which you speak. Wicked drum loop with lingering western guitar. Most likely composed especially for the commercial. //"'' //''resh Live and Direct from the G-Spot Orange County, California, USA

I thought this sounded VERY similar to the first track on the Wagon Christ "At Atmos EP", like somebody ripped it off. Kevin

Actually, no. The Levi's ad was filmed in b&w, and followed a pant leg into a drug store, and buying condoms. It later returns to a new house (the pant leg) and picks up a girl (and later in the year, refilmed as a boy) and the girl's father is the druggist. Amazing commercial...I used to watch it with the volume turned up and the shades down low. Very very well done. And I even have both singles (on R&S) that feature little (as seen on TV) stickers.

Sorry, failed to mention what the track was: Novelty Waves. It wasn't written for the commercial though. At least, I don't think. At least it was edited down for the 20 seconds or so.
