Thanks for your extensive input. I’ll add Oceanic (hope I won’t get LOST ) to my “to try” list. I guess I’ll just have to wait until I run into people who recognize or have it themselves.
There are some other services that, again, I cannot use due to incompatible platform(s).
Could you kindly try them for me ? You’d have my most gratitude
Tried audiotag.info myself without result.
EDIT:
The piece of music you can hear in this Married With Children clip (starts at 3:12) below is another favorite of mine that I’ve also heard in many ads, movies and other videos. There is always the possibility they are both from the same artist. Anyone knows who the artist of this one is ?
Phil_The_Rodent mentioned this Vangelis, and imagine I thought of the same artist but without knowing his name. Darn, so the song I’m after still remains a mystery. Thanks for the “Chariots of Fire” linky though
EDIT:
OMFG, I thank both Phil_The_Rodent and 3dmedieval since I’m playing “Youtubes mix for Vangelis”, and now stumbled upon “Hymne” one of my absolute favorites, again also from ads and other stuff. I love this, thanks again !!!
The file should be only 412 kB, and I have no idea why it wont play for you. What OS are you on and what player are you using ?
But anyway, I have uploaded it megaupload contained in a zip file just in case…
The simple melodies are the best ones
There are quite a number of them I hear from time to time in ads, even today. I wish I had the determination to “ambush” them and try to identify them like I’m right now with this unresolved one.
i heard it the first time I knew strait away lol. I jsut wanted to see how long this would TAKE!
1 page + comment. wow. I am not even 20 and I could point out that song straight away.
Chariots of Fire was the first piece of music I ever played. I played it by ear, from my memory of the trailer which was on TV at the time (obviously this pretty much precisely dates me). I’ve been doing music since.
What you are seeing now is because of the 2000s, when we saw the death of artist development. Corporate mergers with the six sisters created a corporate philosophy of immediate sales over long term development. And, it’s a non-sustaining approach. Since then, 50% of the industry has folded, and will probably completely die in a relatively short time.
That said, music will not, and those who are outside the industry bemoaning its inevitable collapse aren’t taking into consideration that we, as a species, have been playing music since before our species could talk to one another.
chariots of fire is not new age music, it belongs in the catagory of sound tracks. it actually became a chart topping hit back in the 80s btw, when the movie ‘chariots of fire’ came out.
