Direct Line

[Surf Ninja]

Does anybody have a clue as to the ambient music track on the Direct Line
commercials currently running in the UK?.If so is it available commercially or has
it simply been composed for the ads?.

I did run a search for this but nothing came up.Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Cheers for the swift reply and the links.A couple of the videos are from the
latest commercials and it seems to be a track from Pink Floyd.

Thanks again for your time.

Apologies if my search terms were insufficient.I vow to be more patient in
future.

Any idea which PF track?

Now we'd all like to know.

Apologies again!.I should have been more informative there!.

Apparently it's called "Careful With That Axe Eugene" and it seems to have
several different versions.The original is from around 1970.There are currently
around half a dozen of these commercials running at the moment but even in
such short segments the version in the ads sounds a little different (at least to me!).

It may be a more recent remix but I could be wrong.Whoever came up with
the idea for the current ads has clearly been inspired by the end of the movie
"Zabriskie Point" (which features this track).

Thanks again for your invaluable help.It is much appreciated.
