tinkly music on the o2 advert

[weavero]

Who does the music on the O2 adverts, you know, the music which is all tinkly and sounds like a fairytale? Sorry if I'm a bit vague. Oh, and they use it on the switchboard when you try to call them and you wait for ages, and it goes 'tinkle tinkle la la la'. (What?!) Cheers!

Hi I know the music you're talking about but it seems to be a bit of a mystery. It is available for download as a ringtone called planets on their site (http://downloads.o2.co.uk/o2web/o2_advert1_p.html?1353916007:) but it seems like it has been composed especially for o2.

I wondered the same thing..it does seem as though it was written specifically for o2. However, try listening to "The Man Machine" (last track on the album of the same name) by Kraftwerk..the o2 theme bears a striking resemblance to the main riff on this track!

[GarethK]

Really? So if its possibly Kraftwerk does that mean that it might be quite an old tune thats been revamped?

[GarethK]

Hey I listened to the tune and you're right! It does sound more than similar!! Maybe the composer had Kraftwerk on when he wrote it!

[weavero]

Yeah, you're right! Krafterk + Leftfield's 'Melt', with a little sprinkling of a Danny Elfman score. Cheers for your help. I may just cut and shut these three elements myself and be done with it...

[GarethK]

Haha nice one! Don't forget to show us the finished result!! Otherwise...you could just wait for the next cheesetastic Chillout in Ibiza album!

The composer is called Tobias Enhaus and the track is called Orbit.

Make that Tobias Enhus of MachineHead

If you mean the ad where the bubbles burst out from the centre (in a saturns rings type way) just as the music breaks then its Jackson and His Computer Band - Orbit

[snoons]

It's definately Jackson And His Computer Band, but the song is called 'Utopia' (not 'orbit') - it's fairly mad... :P

I KNOW WHO IT IS. i'd know that track anywhere.
It's called 'Walk A Mile In My Shoes' and it is by an Electronica band called Coldcut. Check them out the whole album Sound Mirrors does not disappoint!

[helenknows]

I am Seriously Serious. I you don't believe me....
Check It Out!!
