Welcoming you to the new Ford standard is this ad, soundtracked by School of Language, a side project of Sunderland band Field Music’s David Brewis. Rockist was released in 2007, and has four (count ‘em) parts.
This Nike / Footlocker ad features music from German musician Peter Fox (real name Pierre Baigorry). It’s an instrumental version of his 2008 single Alles Neu, which was also featured on the album Stadtaffe. Neither were released here in the UK. You can hear the vocal version on Peter’s MySpace page – although it has a very different feel to the instrumental (“Euro-rap” perhaps? Anyone else remember DJ Sven and MC Miker G?). If you want the (much preferable) instrumental, you’ll need to track down the 4-track imported CD single. There are several copies on Amazon, but be prepared to pay a hefty price…
This ad cuts together clips from various previous Vauxhall campaigns, and the soundtrack is from Feeder. The Welsh rockers have recently been touring as the Renegades, and earlier this year confusingly released an album as Feeder named Renegades. Pushing the Senses was the title track of Feeder’s 2005 album.
Maceo is funk legend Maceo Parker, and Maceo and the Macks were James Brown’s band, also known as the J.B.s. This classic soul funk track has appeared in numerous movies and video games, including Snatch and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
