tv ad

[Guest Adrian]

does anyone know the tune off the Centrum TV ad.

 

the one with a d&b/jungle tune and the dad comes in and tells his son to turn the music up then starts raving in the lounge???

[theorie]

I don't think it's a tune as such, more just some little break mash out done for the ad. Try searching for contact info for centrum and phone them up and ask them, I'd like to know this too

[Guest Adrian]

Just saw on Discogs that it is this:

I've never seen this advert, I'd love to hear some audio, its always interesting to see dnb being played to the masses!

Its a real contrived piece of amen tearout, with reverse subs, timestreched amens etc.

 

Its very effective but so miscellaneous I'm not surprised Theorie speculated it was a one away 'mash up' done specifically for the ad - I thought the same thing!

 

have yet to confirm with my own ears yet

Here's 3 rips I got:

Dred Bass - Baby Tears

Dred Bass - Baby Tears (CD)

Ascend and Ultravibe - Ruff and Wicked (wrong title?)

what is ''with reverse subs, timestreched amens etc.''

what is ''with reverse subs, timestreched amens etc.''

Reverse sub basslines - all the rage for late 1994 into 1995 after the release of "Dred Bass". Timestreched amen breakbeats - as in the beat taken from The Winstons - Amen, Brother - another big fashion during 1994.

 

The tune from the advert is a bit cliched, sounds good, but still a bit cliched. Possibly one of the better examples of 'tearout amen', though!

 

Edit: just listened to your 'clips' Mantis and its defo the tune from the advert!
