There actually is a track called 'The Iron Sea' on their album.

It's track 08.

For a music researcher that's a pretty shocking mistake considering the album's called 'Under The Iron Sea' and the fact most albums have a title track on it.

Just thought i'd say that..

Hello, there are two tracks that i think would be great for the MOTD montages.

The first would be Urban Species, Blanket. This would provide a good soundtrack to Sven looking confused.

The second would be Zero 7, Waiting Line. This would be a good choice for England, if they crash out of the tournament.

Hope these choices will meet with your approval.

Paul thanks for the feedback on the music, it seems recently that Sarah Williams is becoming a blog regular in your posts...anything your loyal readers should know?

"The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme" by Colourbox. Has anyone ever used it?
Dynamic theme tune on a silver platter.

大象传媒 montages have been great, but Sigur Ros has been a bit over-used. I love the album but it's got to the point it almost seems lazy to use them in a montage sequence.

For an instrumental montage piece, I'd go for something like Dayvan Cowboy by Boards Of Canada, particularly as an opening sequence for a big game.

I've also noticed that Sarah has appeared in 3 Of the last 4 blogs. Has Paul, who should be a Bolton fan by the Way, just gotten Lazy??

By the way, why don'T you Use MemPhIS souL Stew by KinG CUrtiS? Great TRack aboUT gettINg all THE INGreDients toGethER to MAKe soMEthiNG GreaT.

Despite the fact that it may sound highly comical at first, the theme tune from Top Gun would make an excellent montage tune. If you don't believe me just try playing it while imagining previous England goals, tense moments in penalty shoot outs and jubilant celebrations. I did this purely by accident before last weeks game and I swear I almost shed a whimsical tear

I'll second the comment that there is a track called The Iron Sea, and further add that Atlantic isn't actually an instrumental. Very poor research indeed.

Another bad officiating!! I'm a Brazilian fan, but still excpect more from these cream of the crop referees. Maybe it's too much to ask. The line man on the Adriano's goal was outpaced and out of position..one could say...he slept on the job. I though these referees go through rigorous physical regiment before they're deemed fit to conduct a game, if I might add at this level? I hope FIFA is doing something about these errors.

Paul, have you thought about featuring one of your graphics operators in your blog? It must be a tough job to get so many graphics right under so much pressure.

try burn baby burn by ash- slow start then very quickly speeds up with an excellent chorus- of course u need a thrilling performance for it. maybe not englands then...

The Top Gun is a decent suggestion actually.

Considering a lot of us MOTD viewers (and presenters!) are over 30 somethings, how about playing some music we actually remember like some 80's or 90's for a change!

The only Keane I know is the retired Manchester and Republic Of Ireland Captain...'nuff said.

Who decided to use McFly's version of Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' on one of the England vs Ecuador montages? as i'm wondering if it was chosen because it is a good cover or simply as it's the Sport Relief song?

Hi Paul,

I'm really enjoying your blog here in Holland.Perhaps you could tell us more about the rest of the operations? We watch the 大象传媒 here in Holland - some of your grahpics are brilliant.

Peter

McFly's cover of the Queen classic was godawful - just goes to prove, as that thing with 5ive did - that no-one, not even members of Queen should cover Queen.

The Cedar Room - Doves
Stand Shadowless Like Silence - Upcdowncleftcrightcabc+Start
England - British Whale

The lyrics to the rousing song 'Destiny Calling' by James are perfect for a football montage.

Does anyone know the tune thats being used in the montage of all the faces of the players minutes after they have finished a game. It includes the line "you dont know how to ease my pain" A great tune but dont know the name of it, being trying to find out.

I was wondering what the song was and although I thought it sounded like Keane, I'd given up hope of finding out which song it was. It's easier on adverts, as there are websites specifically designed for the purpose, but is there any sort of record available for this kind of stuff?

get your rocks off by primal scream will be spot on to play over highlights of the portugal game, taht is if we take liberty's with them of course! we need a big win!

If and when England go out, surely 'Fix You' by Coldplay will be used???

"When you try your best but you don't succeed..."

In reply to Brian Sharp: Leo's Lyrics gets 3 hits when you put that in as a phrase, all of them a song called "Cry" by the following artists:

Godley and Creme,
The Philosopher Kings,
Creme and Godley (same as the first :P )

Hope this helps.

To be fair if the music was Keane I wouldn't bother looking at the tracklisting either, I know it would be rubbish.

;)

I'm sure it'll be a nice montage, but it'll be on mute in my house. You know you wanted to use The Flaming Lips' 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, Part 2' for all those tackles in the Portugal v. Holland game.

Oh, and a belated (two years) thumbs up for using Jon Brion's score for Punch-Drunk Love for the Euro 2004 (I think) promo-type-things.

Music has some inspiration power that sometimes works well. It is surprising that fans are so crazy that they send suggestions for the England montage to make the players inspired in the field and it is yet to see how it will in the next match. I hope, music will give some privileges to the England in their next match against Germany.

perhaps given englands recent displays and injurys the song "falling apart" by zebrahead would be good.

"Everything's falling apart..."

Should've used 12 by Forward, Russia!

Celebrate by embrace!!! this is a wicked tune!! hehe

If England lose in their possible semi-final at the Allianz Arena, I can see Editors' "Munich" being used, not least because of the geographical connotations ;)

People are fragile things you should know by now, be careful what you put them through

Why not go for "beautiful day" by U2?
O.k. it's mainstream and I.T.V. use it but what better a montage can there be for slow mo replays of Engaland thrashing Portugal 3-0 to reach the semis? (I hope!)

'Shoot high aim low'
by Yes.
Song for Frank Lampard if the man scores the winning goal and England go on to next round.

Shall we lose ourselves for a reason
Shall we burn ourselves for the answer
Have we found the place that we're looking for
Someone shouted "open the door"
Lookout

May be a bit obvious but what about a little Bach, Mozart, Beethoven or Wagner would reflect theme of 1990 World Cup in Italy, music from the host Country; far to many compositions to consider here, but there must be a few that could be used. However,please no more covers of classic rock tunes by Mc Fly can't find words to describe how bad that was. Not cool or clever.

The main theme from 'Requiem for a Dream' OST will do the trick- loads of emotion.
ITV have ruined 'beautiful day'.

Razorlight - In The Morning - the part towards the end that goes over and over:

'Are you really gonna do it this time?'

Could be suitable before the Portugal game or at anytume when England are still in the world cup.

What's the music bed the 大象传媒 are using for their opening VT's?

PUBLIC IMAGE LTD by PUBLIC IMAGE LTD

The intro really gets the vibe !!!

Rjd2 - 1976 or Ghostwriter

NOT Keane, they're gash..

How about "Confusion" by And His Voice Became...? It even contains the lyric, 'you're moving on, you're standing still', which seems to sum things up at the moment.

What gets me, and it's not just the 大象传媒 either, is that the TV titles before a match are all classical music and look very expensive to produce, probably going on for longer than they should. They look similar regardless of which channel you watch. Come on guys, show some imagination once in a while. I mean, have you ever had a thought about anything? at all? ever?

The song with the faces is "Cry" by Godley and Creme (ex10cc) hope this helps

The music didn't work with the montage, you really should try Higher by Creed. I ran it along side the montage and it worked.

The lyrics of "There's a hunger longing to escape" when Sven slapped his knee's was great.

Who cares. Talk about football.

If/when england continue to under perform and go out I reckon a good track would be What Happened to Ya by Sir Ian "King of Monkeys" Brown.

Mainly because Sven keeps (i quote)"burying his face like an ostrich" to escape the truth that he's a rubbish coach wasting our golden generation. And "changing his mind" with his defence midfielder. Who will it be in the next game?? My moneys on David James.

Or anything by flyer or bournville. Rock n Roll

Victory -

Hard to Handle - Black Crowes

Movin on Up - Primal Scream

Defeat -

Anything from Air's album "Moon Safari".

Massive Attack's many dark songs

Strugglin' - Tricky

Down in a hole - Alice In Chains

Remedy - Black Crowes (they're not bad you know)

Bournville DC getting a mention on the Beeb, Cokes will be loving it!!!

Let's have their classic track 'Inbred son...' playing out following Crouch's winner against Portugal on Saturday night...

Three nipples on my chest, six fingers on my hand...

on my hand...

on my hand...

There is only 1 song that can sum up the feelings after a defeat - It's track 5 off the Dirty Three's self titled album. Summed up the feeling after the faux penalty that was given to Italy the other day.

In response to earlier comment: "No one should cover Queen, not even themselves..."

The Flaming Lips did a great cover of Bohemian Rhapsody at the Wireless festival last week, they really gave it something new which is highly unusual for a cover of that song!!

...so there you go

You should use the song 'Lucky' by Radiohead on any England montages of their progress thus far.

I think that 'Sit Down' by James would be a good tune for a montage should England get knocked out. I've an image in my head of Sven sitting alone on the bench with his head in his hands.
I also think that MoTD should do a montage of all the diving that we've seen so far. This could be backed by another James tune, 'She's a Star'.

it's gotta be 'atmosphere' by joy division...

hey! does anybody know the name of the song that was on the montage after the england portugal loss, i really want the song and prefferably the video if anybody knows were i can find that.

thanks!

That's the one I liked (the one where the guy sings quite deeply).

nah it aint atmosphere by joy division

like jemma said the only bit i can remember is "I Just Wanna Be Known" i think that is the chorus aswell as it was repeated a few times.

please help, what was the song that was used in the england vs portugal montage after the match

Does anyone know what song was used in the montage of England's whole World Cup experience which had a really powerful instrumental in it?

I think it was scenes from the England vs. Sweden game. I'm pretty sure a woman sings it. My sisters and I are desperate to know, we're in love with the song!!

Thanks :)

hey jon, stephen & jemma

i found out what the song is thnx to a girl called bridget lol

its the pet shop boys - numb

The song was 'Numb', by The Pet Shop Boys.

I bought it from Woolworths downloads for 59p.

It was indeed Numb by the Pet Shop Boys and is off the album Fundamental which was released on 22nd May 2006.

The whole montage was fantastic and the choice of song spot on.

Well done the 大象传媒!!

I thought that choice of music was rubbish. it failed to depict any of the correct emotion felt by england supporters. normally i love bbc montages but i felt that one was hopeless.

Truely fantastic montage with the pet Shop Boys song perfectly complementing the visuals. Summed up perfectly how I felt after the match.

Nice one, 大象传媒.

Thanks!!! Very nice site.I enjoy being here.

The Benny Hill show theme

The final montage of Englands world cup experience aired following the England vs Portugal game was spot on!

It depicted the feelings of the Nation after that match.
I still cant stop watching it even now.

The song is very powerful and, when it was aired post our knock out against Portugal, it brought tears to my eyes!

It was a very powerful montage and I would like to thank those who created it, so perfectly.

Si

Does anybody know the music to the montages of 'faces from football'??? It was used during the 大象传媒's coverage of the world cup 2006
