You might still see that in the dessert
Is the Danone yogurt ad using some weird mix of The Orb's 'Little Fluffy Clouds', or one of those just-different-enough-to-be-sue-proof ones? Either way, I've just eaten a Danone yogurt and now I'm listening to The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld... Hmmm...

If you're reading this now, you probably came from NTK... Hello! Please wipe your feet.

And if you read NTK, this will maybe make some kind of sense... maybe...

What's your point? You're annoyingly esoteric?

No point. Just you're more likely to know who Aleks Krotoski is, probably.

you know, i've been thinking this in a not-actively-thinking-it kind of way for a while. tonight, turned to the missus and said "this is someone trying really hard to be "little fluffy clouds". half an hour later, and i check ntk, and we're all thinking it. hmm.

I'm not sure if it's a new trend, but I read about something similar recently: a Vietnam-based computer game that wanted an authentic 60s soundtrack, but couldn't afford clearance. So they recorded a new one of close-but-not-sueable pastiches, going to the extent of actually interviewing Motown recording engineers who'd worked on the original records to get the overall ambience and feel as close as possible - the idea being I guess that while you're distracted by shooting thousands of Viet Cong in the face, you'll think you're listening to 'Respect' by Aretha Franklin, but it's only when you get shot in the face yourself and have a moment to rest while you fumble for the next 10 pence piece that you realise that the lyrics and melody are a bit wrong... But anyway, I'm sure Danone could have just bought the rights to a similar type of genuine track ... they just sound really naff and cheap ... yogurts are delicous, though.
