looks like it's too busy: request timed out

so i started wondering for which commercials did The Aphex Twin 
make some music, or his music is played on. i recalled that there is an 
entry for this in the official unofficial faq 
<http://www.theaphextwin.com/faq/afxfaq26.txt>



A:16 "What Aphex Twin songs have appeared in other media?"

The Polygon Window track "UT1-dot" is played uncredited in the movie 
_Blade_ for about twenty seconds worth during the opening credits.

Allegedly, Richard has composed numerous songs for commercials 
including those for Virgin Airlines, Lee jeans and Special K breakfast 
cereal.

The soundtrack for _Pi_ features "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball," but the 
track makes no appearance in the movie. Possibly it was used in a scene 
that was cut from the final version, but, more likely, it's just a good 
track that is included on the soundtrack for no reason at all.

"On" is played during one of the many sex scenes in _The Doom 
Generation_. It is credited at the end but is not featured on the 
soundtrack.

[ you can also spot Skinny Puppy on this movie ]


"Time To Find Me (AFX Fast Mix)" (a remix of a Seefeel track) was used 
in the ending credits to a fashion show called "Perfecto" on MusiquePlus 
from 1993 to 1998.

Caustic Window's "The Garden Of Linmiri" was used in a Pirelli 
television advertisement for tires. The ad featured runner Carl Lewis 
running  through New York with tire treads on the bottoms of his feet.

[ dunno if links work ]


Bank of America has used "Girl/Boy Song" in one of its commercials.

"Yellow Calx" was used as a theme for the television show "Date With An
Artist" in the UK.

The film _8MM_ starring Nicholas Cage features the "Come To Daddy" 
video playing on a television set. The track is played again on a record 
player as a very integral part of the climax of the movie.

MTV's "The Real World" used "On" during a train ride scene.

"Windowlicker" was used for the theme in the Eurosport program  
schedule.

A commercial for the special Olympics used "Girl/Boy Song" as 
background music.

The band Placebo samples the computer voice used at the end of "Funny 
Little Man" (see section H.5) for their hidden track "Evil Dildo" from 
the album _Without You I'm Nothing_.

A slightly edited version of "73-Yips" was used at the end of a Schick
Diamond razor commercial in the US. In the UK the razors are known as
Wilkinson Sword and basically the same commercial was used.

Compaq used "Girl/Boy Song" in one of their ads.

Orange, a communications company in the UK, used "Girl/Boy Song" for 
one of their ad campaigns.



now i'm pretty sure i recall that it was mentioned somewhere that 
"flaphead" from analogue bubblebath 2 ep was on some car commercial.
