Hi

I've recently seen the ad for the mini convertible (here in South Africa) where this dude's running and jumping slow-mo style from the back into his mini convertible. All the while this diggery-doo with a baseline song is playing. Sounds kinda like something from the Chemical Brothers. Has anybody seen this ad and have a clue what I'm talking about? And most importantly - what/who/where is that song?!!!

Regards
Gert

Hi Gert...

I don't think the music comes from a specific song. It's aborigine music from down under.... I might be wrong. Good luck in finding it!

Hi There Guys,

Here is the link to drive you nuts with...

http://www.miniusa.com/crm/toughland...ughlanding.jsp

Call me crazy but I think there is a definite resemblance in it to the Italian Job song:

"To Get Down" by Timo Maas

Nice link. Thanks, now I won't get any work done!

HyperConvert - you're my hero!

That's EXACTLY the one I was talking about! Timo Maas you say? I'll definitely check it out soon as possible. Soon's I hear that rythmic pulsating sounds I just wanna get down freaky-styley, man! Thanks for the help, guys!

Regards
Gert

Calm down Gert!

I said it "resembles" the Timo Maas song!

With that I meant there is an arrangement quality about it that compares but the songs are totally different!

Hope you find it "freaky-styley"! (You must be a Red Hot Chili Fan!)

Ciao

You friggin' KNOW it, Hyper-my-man

I'm a red hot chili for life. Got the logo tattooed on my inner right forearm in a beautifull blue. I haven't gotten round to tracking down the Timo Maas song, but I will soon. It should be on the 'Italian job' soundtrack? Say, the creators/convenors/administrators of this website should have SOME influence or contacts with someone in the know!? Doesn't anybody out there know someone in the mini advertisement department or something who's got records or documentation about where the music used in the ad comes from? Somebody, get me the director...!

regards
Gert
