FS2 music in a TV comercial?
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.

I swear I heard music from BP today on the history channel... Makes me wonder where darius got some of it from.

I do have the Discovery channels (history/travel/science/etc) on quite a bit so could be the same one except I haven't played BP yet.

History channel uses lots of unconventional music - although it may simply be that they hire the same composers.

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.

Is this only in the USA?

Bring on the trumpets.

Music used in Freespace was also used in Schwarzenegger's End of Days.  They used a lot of stock music apparently.

The vocals used in FS2 are from an off-the-shelf package.  It's also been quite popular with the BBC in recent years.

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.
