Title: FS2 music in a TV comercial?
Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on March 26, 2009, 11:24:14 pm: Anyone else noticed this. I've seen the same commercial several times now and I can swear every time it's on I here FS2 music playing in it. Problem is I can never remember what the heck it's for since it's always on when I just have the TV on for background noise.

A recent program about the anti-slave patroll of the USS Constellation featured at least 1 track from Advent Rising.

I didn't get a chance to compare the credits, as I missed the end of the program and don's have AR installed at the moment. :sigh:

Edit - Darius lists the source of all BP1 music in the readme, so you can check there.

Bring on the trumpets.

It was only a small bit. It could have easily been composed independently of FreeSpace.

No chance...the vocals were identical.

The vocals aren't FS. The vocals are Latin from some random composition or whatever.
