Every year, Jeremy Clarkson (one of the hosts of Top Gear) does the guy-on-Top Gear equivalent of a Phil Collins solo album. These are, unsurprisingly, very like Top Gear in terms of production and presentation (I think he uses the same production team), which means that, like Top Gear, they incorporate a lot of clever use of bits from motion picture soundtracks.

This year's, Thriller, opens with a 20-second piece of something that I find myself very much wanting the rest of, but I don't know what movie it's from. This is vastly annoying. Nobody in the studio channel earlier tonight could place it either.

Here's the bit in question, clipped out of the rest of the movie and encoded with tiny video because, well, it's the audio that's important for our purposes here. If anyone here can identify this music, I would be most grateful.

In a similar vein, I saw a TV spot for Baz Luhrman's Australia a bit ago - this one, in fact - that had music in it that sounded very much like, but wasn't, a clip from Klaus Badelt's excellent score from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Now, as is the fashion with new-movie trailers and adverts, I suspect this is in fact from some other movie altogether and not from Australia at all, and - once again - I would be obliged if anybody could place it.

As for why this is in the SOS board, well, no, it's not a mistake; it's just that I'd like to use at least one of them in the bit I'm working on just now, but I can't very well do that if I haven't the slightest idea what they are.
