Re: Isles of Wonder - Music for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games
Cheers to Mr. Boyle and Underworld for a great opening ceremony. Would love to see again without NBC's announcers talking throughout the whole fucking thing. And want to see it un-edited. Had to go online later to watch the tribute for the 7/7 victims.

I feel this really is set to Danny Boyle's filming style. Everything was done with great care and detail. Even though my knowledge of British history is lacking, I still enjoyed it just as much.

Really loved the remixes of 'Rez' and 'Minniapolis'. The new stuff will be great to hear in full.

And yes, I got chills when the chimes of Two Months Off played during the lighting of the flame. Did I hear a bit of the 'Dirty Epic' drone sound in the background of it?

I can't imaging what it must feel like to be Underworld hearing a track like 'Rez' being played out to hundreds of millions of people worldwide knowing that they wrote it in a bedroom 20 years ago.
