just another concerned mother from Look down on 2001-05-25 23:17 [#00007202] | |||||||||

Just wanted all you depraved lunatics to know that I highly condone the irony of aphex twins song "4" being used in an anti-drug commercial here in the states (it's the one with all the shitty drawings) the music goes with the images very well (not that the song is shitty, but has a moving impact almost). I was almost tempted to give up drugs, then I smoked until the feeling passed. Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know about the commercial cause the news section doesn't mention it. |

Does anyone know if Aphex Twin or their label authorized the use of their song in the anti-drug commercial? |

No, the song was not authorised. The song is being used in a national campaign without the permission of the copyrighters. The makers of the ad are just hoping no one wont notice. I guess they're fucked now that you've caught on, A. Scotthew. |

was that sarcasm? <--that was, and dude that asked if it was allowed, richard has said he allows his songs to be used anywhere, he likes the money, and wonders why anyone would want to use his songs in the first place. |

yeah, you'd be surprised how often braindance, or jungle for that matter will show up in t.v. show segways, commercials, and quite often on MTV. Hell, ive even heard Dj Soulslinger on a news broadcast! |

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 probably 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. |

nice work xanatos. indeed. i don't think this anti-drug commercial and the new album have anything in common either. ... . when some of you people get together its worse than a bunch of old women gossiping over tea. |

cant fight it, techno, trance, brain dance, drum and bass, jungle, and all other forms of electronica are in heavy use by the media, and that aint gonna rest for a while, methinks. Who 5 years ago would have thought that we'd see Paul Oakenfold doing a set on MTV? |

Oh no, I'm having a VERY SCARY thing on my mind right now..................: The music of AFX is the commercial chart-style-music of the 23th century! |

To the sarcastic asshole. For the love of God, of course I know that *someone* authorized the use of the song (I'm a friggin' law student.) My question was *who*--the label or the maker of the song? Different contracts give artists varying degrees of control over the use of their songs. Sometimes the rights to a song are sold by the writer and s/he then has no say in where/how it's used. |
