O2 Advert Music?

[Trem]

Anyone know what it is?

A shiny penny for the first correct answer.

 

[Doomy]

Its Blood on the Motorway by DJ Shadow. Absolutely stonking song and the advert does not do it justice, theres even a bit of singing in it. Really nice tune.

 

[Trem]

You see I did a proper search and thats what I come up with, now I have downloaded a bit of it and it sounds nowt like the advert music.

Hmmmm, I do have the album somewhere.

Thanks anyway young man, a shiny penny and lots of sex is winging its way to you.

 

[Doomy]

Its towards the end of The Private Press, the piano bit you hear in the advert isnt all the way through and the ending is just big heavy beats, but still a nice ermmm sobering song.

Very disjointed too.

 

[Trem]

I don't think it is that chum.

The new O2 ad with the speakers in different places and stuff, its about the downloading music to your phone gubbins.

 

[Doomy]

I think ive seen that advert but cant remember if its the same tune thats been played for the last 3-4 mnths on 02's adverts, with all the pillars and bubbles and blueness. Boltons or something.

If it is that tune i am right, but if theres a new one, god knows. Cant remember it.

i work for o2 now at the call centres, went on the phones for the first time on thursday wher i was listening in... the first call was they was put on hold... and this is what the song was all the way through for about 20-25mins...

listening to it now tho, is a nice song

 

[Trem]

That song is the old one I have found out(the one Doomy said), the new one is very bass biased and also disjointed.

I NEED THAT TUNE!!

I always use Commercial Breaks and Beats to find whatever songs are on adverts. Sometimes it's a little behind but most of the time it's ok.

Typing in o2 did indeed show the DJ Shadow song.

Just doing a Google now brought up "Release the Pressure" from Leftfield, dont know if it is that but im downloadin it now to see

/edit

uhhm, that isnt the o2 one... nothing like any ive heard :/

 

[Trem]

It does sound like something Leftfield would of done tbh.

Are you talking about the one from the music downloader recent adverts or the tune with the piano from nearly every other O2 advert? If it's the piano one then the tune is "Blood On The Motorway" by DJ Shadow, although they have used "Release The Pressure" by Leftfield in the past. You could try asking in the forum at http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/ if neither of these is the one.

Pretty much back to CBB.co.uk again, as said before. Has anyone posted and asked?

Its probably something by Moby, lets face it he does everything else.

so fuckin typical that :/

when you arent wholly interested in the advert its on after each programme, but now i havent seen it at all in the many hours of watching TV this boring day

sigh :/

 

[Gumbo]

You're not thinking of the TRY advert that has rearranging letters are you, as that's for Orange I think?

 

[Trem]

No mate, the O2 one with the speakers. The one about downloading music to your O2 mobile etc.

That would be Air - Alpha Beta Gaga. My fave new band everestest.

 

[gremlin]

See here. Tis indeed Simon Thornton/Fatboy Slim, as of yet unreleased, but i'm guessing from the advert reaction they're going to release it as a single
