Repost from my main man Michael Kelly
For the past 5 or 6 years or so, I’ve been wondering what the super-cool intro music to Escape Velocity is. I’ve heard the music since in a commercial for a History Channel special on Hitler, and a commercial for Submarina. I even emailed Ambrosia once about it, but they said they’d forgotten what it was.
Tonight, on a whim, I searched for `”Escape Velocity” intro music’, and the first hit was a thread on the Ambrosia forums talking about the EV music on Good Morning America (video here). Later in the thread there’s a pointer to another thread that has links to a flash and mp3 version of the full song. They mentioned the site that has the song available for purchase, which I had found previously, but couldn’t decipher to the point that I could go buy it. (Apparently I was not alone.)
In any case, enjoy “Face of the Enemy”. I’m playing it over and over and backing it up repeatedly.
It’s not that great.
That was pretty sweet for the first few plays, but now everytime it comes on Cap’t Hector keeps shooting down iTunes and I have to jump out of the system to get away…
