=p well, for idm content, I might want to add that the little vehicles on the Drum Island lp cover are mini's... :) damn fine album too... and, while on the Apollo tip (though that's more ambient I'd say) does anyone know if Sketch has put anything out as of late??? They released an LP at the same time as the Manna s/t which is really good, sort of in that Geir Jensen, I live too close to the north pole and it shows way... l;8r q *snork* __

I only saw one commercial for the new VW bugs.. and it had some jungle track playing on it.. not to be off-topic or anything, but why the hell do these things cost so much?

well, there is a commercial for the bug featuring that orb track, but it also uses the vocal clip that _says_ 'little fluffy clouds'. not very subtle. - wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu

so which is it guys? orb or stereolab? ;) personally. this thing didn't sound quite the "Orb" style.. it sounded more like some commercial ppl who make jingles trying to make a junglish track for the commercial, although this is the best advent of the "let's make a jungle track for a commercial" i've heard. __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ "..in whatever you do, if you can't break new ground, what's the point?" - James Cameron

I've seen one commercial that has the Orb song, and also another different one with a more drum and bass type song. (not sure if it's Stereolab) There are a couple of different commerecials out.

There's multiple commercials. I saw a Brit-pop one once and there's one with the Crystal Method(who's chief job seems to be making techno for commercials) too. Geoff-"a smile like the grim reaper" "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind..." Emerson

There's a whole bunch of bug ads. Even one with Spiritualized. (So the answer is both.) jeremyxaxon "things tend to get mean, but funny, because mean usually is funny."

there is an ad with little fluffy louds by the orb with the cars changing color and spinning in the middle. then there is the "junglish" track where it zooms in slowly on the yellow bugs, which is a stereolab track. and another one ive seen with a spiritualized track. so you think they are targeting a specific croud? ;) :::::::::::::::::: <bold>s t e p h e n . holland . chang </bold>:::::::::::::::::: ( holoscope ) > \ symbiosis \ :::::::::::::::::: stephen@holoscope.com :::::::::::::::::: holoscope.com :

my friend chris' band Future Bible Heroes was almost in a VW video... they called him & wanted to know if he was interested & told him they were deciding between FBH and spiritualized... sadly they picked spiritualized. from what he said, most of the music is chosen because that's what the people in the ad agency listen to. so the VW ad agency likes spiritualized, FBH, some jungle, stereolab, and PTV. nice enough I suppose, still won't make me buy a car. -benjamin 0|1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |6 |7 |8 |9 99thMind Design:design:layout:webwork:art:promotion:more --{0}--<http://www.ici.net/cust_pages/design99>--{0}--
