Anyone else seen that new Nissan Ad?

cherry_ghost [Edit] [Delete] 14:19, 4 March '10

At first I was horrified because I thought they had ripped off Bigg Jus by slightly tweaking his tune 'Silver Black Mountain King' so that they could get around paying him any royalties or something, but then I found out that he sampled '4 Ton Mantis' by Amon Tobin, which is actually the tune used on the advert. I'd heard Tobin's name mentioned tons of times but never taken the time to actually give him a listen, now I definitely will.

I'm not really sure what relevance this has to anyone, but I've been on a little journey from misplaced piety to discovering another interesting artist and I kind of wanted to share it with someone!
