Isles of Wonder - Music for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games

[Milking Your Plastic]

I don't think any of the commentators even mentioned Underworld during the telecast here in Australia . Great work to everyone who was involved. I loved the new remixes, the new Rez mix was the standout for me. But I will need to here it again without any of the talking heads.

THis is "I will kiss" - the epic drum-laden track for the industrial revolution part:


Skip to about 4:30 any you will find that Rick snucked in the "rising" synth line from the middle part of Rez :-)

It was amazing, just sucked when the athletes walked in the arena...) blah blah blah... on BBC

yeah - I spotted that when the chimneys came up - you just 'knew' it was all going to be great after that!

F%#$ NBCOlympics.com. Why do I need a username and password to watch the olympics online from a channel (NBC) that is broadcast freely all over the US? I don't pay for cable because I have the internet. Anyone have a username/password they're willing to share?

missed it

listening to "And i will kiss" it sounds like that bombastic stuff they use in front of shows like the amazing race to recap what's happened.

It's to open a show with a 1-billion person global audience - 'bombast' is pretty-much a PRE-requisite. It worked a treat.
