Gothed out A380

A few hours ago, I was coding and listening to the 22 September 2008 edition of ReGen Radio Podcast. For this particular show, DJ Razorgrrl decided to create a list of ambiance electronic music (which I really like), and I was passively listening to the music and grooving with its ebb and flow.

Around 10 minutes into the show, I heard the piano theme to a song by yelworC called "Icolation", which sounded EXTREMELY familiar. As soon as I heard the piano I knew where I had heard the theme before: In the Channel 5 documentary The Giant of the Skies: The Making of the Airbus A380, the last part where the test pilots are getting ready to fly F-WWOW for the first time in history.

That was the moment I realize that I am an utter and complete d0rk.

P.S. If you are actually curious (which I'm sure you're not), I found a clip of this on Youtube. Listen and memorize the first 13 seconds of the clip (pay attention only to the piano section):

If you cannot see the embedded video above, click here.

Now go to the ReGen Radio Podcast site and look for the 22 September 2008 playlist. Click on the "Listen" button and wait a while for the player to load up and that the progress bar is about a third way through. Then move the track to about 11:56 (or as close as you can) and continue playing.

The artists didn't even change the key for the documentary: Both songs are in C minor.

If you watched the video up to 1:15, you pretty much have heard the mellowed out version of the song "Icolation". You can listen to the entire song from the podcast by rewinding the track to about 9:51 and play. Looks like whoever produced the documentary hired yelworC to do the soundtrack, the band reused some of their materials and...voila!

So now I've linked two mutually exclusive subjects in one post: the Airbus A380 and a goth/industrial/electronic band.
