Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Nov. 18 2011, 05:05 So Richard Branson has somehow wrangled a deal to buy the UK Northern Rock bank (got itself into trouble a few years back and rescued/bought by the UK government) to kickstart the high street banking side of Virgin Money. Considering Virgin's beginnings they should really use a Mike track on their adverts. What would be a good one? Make Make? Blood Sucking? or I could be a bit more positive: From the ashes? -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 18 2011, 17:38 Here in Italy most adverts for banks use highly powerful (and loud) orchestral scores, of the kind you normally hear in Hollywood soundtracks. So why not use "Harbinger" from MotS? IMHO The crescendo in that piece would be just perfect for the claim in a TV commercial. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

He's going to talk about Mike Oldfield, at least that's what they said. I also saw a commercial about some CD box set with all the great albums in them or smth like that. Tubular Bells was in the commercials as well. -------------- Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. Back to top

I should have read the previous posts properly. Good one though! -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'
