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

[pw32]

If you go down to point 7 in this article it seems to indicate that Underworld's music will be used during the athletes parade.

Mr Ian already posted that his mate on site said it sounded beaty. Good sign

I have a friend who is working on the release and he sent me a track listing today. It's not just a bit of underworld, it's underworld heavy. He swore me to secrecy about the tracks themselves but I'll share information that I think won't get anyone in trouble.

There are two tracks where UW are listed first, followed by other artists. Given the other artist names these tracks will probably be somewhat filmic, rather than their solo work. [run time removed]

There are [several] UW tracks also appearing on the release. Run times vary, [run times removed]. There are sequential numbers in the listing that indicate some of these tracks will run back to back, but some missing track numbers indicate other pieces not owned by UW will be interspersed.

The tracks span their career. The tracks appearing are drawn from the following albums: Barking, OWB, STITI, DNB, and one non-album release.

[edited to remove more specifics like run time and number of tracks. sorry, i felt guilty for sharing so much]

Gosh NBC, why do you have to air the opening hours after it's live in London? Hopefully I won't get spoiled by it anywhere. (Hopefully no one on Tumblr spoils me!!)
Extremely stoked right now. I definitely want the physical copy of the music, no question.

this is the time when i actually hate the sysops of the place where i work in. livestation isn't working properly! argh.

EDIT: it's working now. awesome. thanks, nelfun

It'd be cool if someone find a streaming link that has no commentator so we could enjoy the music!
