BoC music used on TV

Post by deltasi »

I'm sure there must have been a thread on this before, but I can't find it if there has, so apologies if so...
Where have you heard BoC used on TV?
I just watched the new Louis Theroux documentary about crime in Philadelphia on BBC 2 and they used Everything You Do Is A Balloon. They also used a BoC-esque sounding track that I didn't recognise, anyone any ideas who saw it what it was?

On a similar note, who's seen the Zero 7 live DVD at Glastonbury 2004, where they start the show with BoC's Olson and mix it into their "Warm Sound" track...Awesome.

any more?

I've seriously lost count how many times I've heard a Warp tune on Top Gear or Ready Steady Cook or what have you.

interesting that they used the peel session version of olson in the documentary. everything you do is a balloon worked really well in my opinion...i think the fact that i didn't expect to hear it made it all that more...powerful? special? ...beautiful? cant think of the appropriate word!

It definitely went well with the scenes; gave me a whole different perspective on the track

Speaking of Morris, Boards of Canada were used in 'Nathan Barley' - the promotional video for 'Place.' and in the background in one scene.

Happy Cycling was in an episode of Six Feet Under, in a scene at Brenda's house.
