I heard there was an anti-drug commercial being played here in the US that uses an Aphex Twin song. Can anyone verify this? If so what song is it? |

It's true. The song used is "4" |

Even though RDJ has been quoted saying he has tried various drugs, I enjoy the irony of using his music for an anti-drug commercial. It\'s fun to roll and listen to \"4\" is what I think they\'re really trying to get at..? |

It is very ironic IMHO. Personally I think some marketing guy was joking around and recommended the song... the big heads, not knowing the scoop liked it and gave it the go-ahead. Just a thought though. =] Thanks for the info! |

In answer to anyones questions about this commercial: I've realised that the work on that commercial was done by the good people at presstube.com then called halfempty.com. I cam on this connection just by chance. You can see the original work here: http://www.halfempty.com/james/intro1.htm I realize that it is simply the opening loop from '4' repeated over and over again. I realize that it was simply the work of the halfempty people and RDJ probably had nothing to do with it, except that they possibly requested rights to put it on TV from Warp. So the point is that no, there is probably no connection between the commercial and Drukqs. If anyone has a chance check out the work on presstube.com its some fucking amazing flash. They won Flash Forward 2001 for the art section. It doesn't surprise me at all...because anyone who likes aphex will probably like presstube, and anyone who likes presstube will probably like aphex, check it out and see what I mean. |
