Just watched last weeks recording of Jamies School Dinners, and certainly noticed that when I went back to the TV guide whatever the music was, it was certainly alot louder.
Even when I turned the TV volume down to 3 bars, it could still burst the eardrums.
Yeah I just noticed that, shame in a way I really liked the last set, I tried emailing Sky to ask them who it was made by, all I got back was that it was commisioned specially for them, no artist names, nothing. I suspect it was BT as there were similarities to some of the tunes and his music.
However the new music is equally impressive, a little deeper (haven't heard it all yet), if you like this sort of music. Incidentally seancfagan, some of the proggresive breakbeat is composed with the same structure as your favoured classical.
I'd really like to have that music, as I am a fan of movie scores, and it's very score-like.
That being said, I have a small hint: One of the tracks in the last set used to be played during the ad breaks of Fox News on their European feed after September 11th - so while Americans were watching ads, we got a Fox logo with that track. So it appears to indeed be part of a special set of tracks for Fox / Murdoch. It's interesting to see that that music makes its way around the globe, from Australia, over to the US and now to the United Kingdom.
Does anyone have recordings of the menu loop? I really miss those songs. I was planning on capturing them, but didn't get round to it yet...
Omg, I liked the old music alot, i havent watched sky today, but im gonna go listen now And like Quark, id also like the music, could someone make an mp3?

the old sky epg music was taken from jamieson's complete

I automatically turn off music, bleeps etc on every new toy I get so I must confess I have not listened to the Sky music very much. I have just turned it on and given it 30 secs. I will leave it on for a few days maybe, it does sound better than I expected, but I think I will soon be back to silence.
As a child of the 60s and 70s, progressive to me means Prog Rock. I remember the likes of "Yes", "Renaissance", "Van Der Graaf Generator" "Emerson, Lake And Palmer" etc, lots of 20 minute guitar histrionics, gushing organ solos, lyrics full of mystical allusions and song titles bearing no relation to the music and almost as long as the music itself. Where are you now Rick Wakeman? On "Jongleurs" comedy show that's where.
I love all sorts of music, my main passion really. I have seen live shows like the "Stones" , " "Led Zeppelin" and "Dire Straits" decades ago to ""Bruce Springsteen" on his last tour in 2003. I also love opera and classical and go to regional opera productions quite often. Covent Garden is a bit too pricy for me.
Sorry, rambling again. I'll go and listen to some more Sky.
A cross lingual joke, I like it. I laughed so much my clogs fell off.
Yes I did bark a bit at Lord Kram. No offence intended M'Lud.
As I was later forced to admit, my jokey comment was based on zero knowledge. I'm still not convinced I will keep the music on. No matter how good it is I would only ever hear a few seconds at a time. It must be for the Amstrad guys with the slow response boxes. They probably need a Mahler symphony.
My dog goes...Brak! Brak! Brak!, Brak!. I think he might have dyslexia.

I've got my music off. Now if they were to play Mahler I might turn it on.
I liked the old music. My wife used to get a bit fed up with it.
da di da di da - chow chow chow - doo di doo di doo - chow chow chow
Yeah. 'Twas nice. :-)
Oh! I see.
They wanted you to act in the series and write the theme tune and sing the theme tune ............new epg music could be so good for you. Da Do Do Do...Do!
It is just an audible bleep that confirms that the box has received a command from the remote and is obeying it. (or not obeying in the case of many Sky+ boxes :eek: )
There is also a red light on the front of the box that blinks for the same reason.
I think :eek: ..... I could be talking rubbish as usual.
Comments
I have all that stuff turned off on my Sky box, and everything else.
If you like music, the new Bruce Springsteen CD is out next month. "Devils and Dust."
or Puccini, Mahler, Sibelius, Lucie Silvas, Mark Knopfler or many of my hundreds of favourites.
Thats a Dutch dog barking its head off :eek:

Automan.
This has been bugging me all day. I must be thick. Please explain.
In Dutch "iemand afblaffen" is "to bark at somebody".
When it comes to music or any art for that matter its all down to taste.
I thought that you barked at Lord Kram a bit in your first post. Other than that there was no hidden meaning, and no offence intended.

Maybe your dog has Anorexia?
In Dutch braken = to vomit
How bored must we all be!
I keep seeing "lol" What does it mean?
Lots of love? Laughed out loud?
I'm 52 with no kids so I occasionally struggle with new terms and txt speak. Is there a web site that explains all this stuff?
See: http://www.learnthenet.com/english/glossary/lol.htm
In Dutch lol means fun.

Yep, it doesn't do that. As far as I know, it only occurs when you enter you PIN number incorrectly.
