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.

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.
