Maybe not a cheap copied version of it but the original by Shirly Bassy or some other annoying little American heroin.

But the BBC do use Autechre tracks to advertise their programs. There is nothing wrong with this, I love Autechre and don't mind seeing an increasing number of IDM tracks used in advertising. So long as the music is still good and remains *IDM*. I don't think the Nike CD was Endtroducing or anything like it but the fact that it had Nike ramblings on it doesn't put it straight in the bargain bin at Woolworth's. I thought the CD was good and I can still listen to it which is more than I can say for It's Oh So Quiet! Signing out, C.

Not 'People Hold On' but I recently got an old Coldcut single, 'Dreamer' from '92 It has three mixes of Dreamer and a fourth track, can't remember the name, that's a bit more blunted than the popesque Dreamer tracks. I think this another one from Coldcut's 'trying to play it thier way' past. Sorry it doesn't answer the question, C.
