Did anyone seen the Top Gear show sundaynight on BBC? (or the re run on mondaynight) There was an item about a new BMW diesel and Jeremy Clarkson was pushing the car on the track. They used the Aphex Twin QQT remix from Mescalinum United's 'We Have Arrived'. Quite the extraordinary track to use for a television show. I reckon it's a producer with taste over at the BBC. Go and click the link in the 2nd post. |

I never know what to say in these kinds of threads. "hmm, that's great!" or something? |
||||||||
|

|
|
Neither do i. Better not say anything? |
||||||||
|

you must have some idea of what kind of response you expect? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
no. i just found out about the vid and thought i share it, that's all. i expect nothing really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it is a great track. |
||||||||
|

|
|
dude thats awesome!!!. Is that OK? |
||||||||
|
|

...and then we did THIS! (cue "Layla" by Eric Clapton) Ahhh old Top Gear, before they sacked Quentin "Swiss Tony" Wilson. |

It is quite obvious what top gear have done. They have 26 mixes for cash in thier collection. I know this cos they have played snippets of almost all the tracks and no other aphex tracks. on the last show was kreiger and QQT mix. It was funny when they put at the heart of it all on cos the abrasive sound overpowered clarksons voice! |

This serious they have played many many Warp tracks on the show...they have some sort of licensing agreement with Warp I am sure. |

Top Gear always put on idm or electro stuff. I've heard Amon Tobin, Squarepusher, etc... |
||||||||
|

|
|
indeed, saw it last week, i think it was squarepusher that was on |

what channel is this on?! oh wait, nm... speed channel. it's that euro car show... i think?! i don't think i get the speed channel anyway. which sucks cuz i miss all the cool nascar shows. |

what he said. |

What would you say is the most famous use of a Warp track in a programme or advertising. My vote is Brothomstates on the sprite advert but i haven't thought for long. |

well, one of my mates said once "this makes good driving music!" |

They use Aphex Twin absolutely loads. |

Did anyone see Sunday's episode with the Lamborghini Miuro? After Richard Hammond did the bull run, they moved on to the Lambo and after the car park scene when they moved out into the desert, they played Windowlicker.... I'm gonna try and email them telling them that they should invite Aphex on to the Star In A Car cos they play so much of his music! Even if they did contact him, he'd probably say no though.... |

If anyone wants proof, I've got a sound recording of the start of the Lambo part. |

|
|
yeah I saw that. they played amon tobin too! |
||||||||

The theme played on sampled engines was cool. I recorded that aswell! |

I just sent a message: Seeing as you play so much of his material for background music on your great show, in my opinion you should invite Richard James aka Aphex Twin to take part in your Star In A Reasonably Priced Car competition? I'm sure many Aphex Twin fans would be pleased if he appeared on the show and we would like to hear how you get on. |

nm, i just watched it on the discovery channel but alas... no IDM whatsoever. i think the closest they got was some kinda prodigy remix. other than that, poop on a stick. |
