Strange RingRoad Sighting

[skOre]

This blew me off my chair. Was listening to OWB when somebody sent me a link to this viral (double pun) game:

Start a new game and you will know what I mean!

Didn't know that UW was into Game Soundtracks ;)

[Jan]

great spot!
unlikely that UW has anything to do with this though, because Ring Road uses a stock sound from a sample library... For example it's in the Star Wars episode from Familiy Guy, too.
Overall I don't care which samples UW use as long as they fit... but still I wonder why they used this one so blatantly.

[skOre]

Uh, didn't know that. Any link to where I can find said stock sound... or library?

madagascar is becoming a meme because of this game.

Fun Fact: The soundtrack to the original Pandemic was my song Ants in Blue Gel :)

Blips and I were talking about getting my music into another project, but... I'm not sure what happened to that.

Alright, now I don't feel so bad about wanting to drop verses on the Ring Road instrumental.

this game looks pretty...eerie.

I came across a Flash browser game today called "Pandemic 2", and as I started to play it, I thought that the music sounded pretty good for one of these things, but that it also sounded very familiar. It sounds to me like they've taken the opening to "Ring Road" and modified it slightly (slowing it down, mixing in some other stuff). What do you guys think?

Oops, sorry about that. I did have a look for that, but I completely missed it somehow.

[dubman]

no problem :)
welcome to the boards

Not surprised it's a sample - it doesn't really sound like UW and is too crappily produced to be them!

[galama]

I heard the same sample in a psytrance track in my friends car. The project is called Opium of the Masses and i'll get the CD next time and cut the sample to see how it's used there

Once you get into the actual game, you get to hear the mysterious Ring Road sample thats made its way from Family Guy to this online game. :)

[khouri]

Wow. That's pretty... egregious. But I suppose even God got lazy one day out of the week.
