Ray Mears Bushcraft - can you name that tune?

[Mikey P]

I'll have a listen when I get home.

Has anyone else noticed that the theme tune for "Wild Food" is basically a re-arrangement of the theme tune from "World of Survival".

Brand image?

There are a few Nightmares on wax songs in his older series, off of the Carboot soul album. Atmospheric stuff, really chilled out!

Yesterday i watched a couple of episodes on sky at work, today i get home and decide to watch the dvd to name some tracks of artists i recognised but i realised that the dvd version is not the same as the tv version as most if not all of the commercial music has been replaced with musak. I guess it's to do with licensing fees but for the record there was tunes (in the 2 jungle episodes) from those great producers Kruder & Dorfmeister, Bonobo, Primal Scream and as spamel pointed out Nightmares on wax (Les Nuits)

At least with adverts we have that fantastic website (whose name
currently evades me) from which I found out that I didn't want to buy
a car but I did want to buy a Philip Glass CD

...glad I did as I recognised "The Grid" from Koyaanisqatsi in an
earlier Arnhemland episode. It's similar to "Cloudscape" on the
same album (and film) that was used in the Carbon Trust's
advert recently. Also "Pruit Igoe" was on that "it's only a car"
advert from BMW.

That website is Commercial Breaks and Beats:

Although I'd enjoyed the programmes when they were broadcast I remember the reason I
sat down specifically to watch the UKTV History day of bushcraft was because I
wanted to hear the piece of music used in the Sweden episode - this is not the same one
as on the DVDs, I've since discovered. I don't think that piece of music was actually
played on the day, or possibly I was out of the room at the time hehe.

I've just found that someone's added the original version to YouTube and the music is at
the beginning of this bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hKDwzP2OUM
It matches the snowscape perfectly.

...and of course, while I was watching I thought "well that's a bit clever"... and here I am
But it was the music in the first place though.

I'm a bit troubled to see that someone called "WildernessSkills" has added so much of
the material that is already available for purchase, even though I'm secretly grateful it's
let me hear that music again.

EDIT: and the music is a cover of a Slowdive track, by Ulrich Schnauss, called Blue Skied
an' clear.

If anyone's intrested the music from Ray's bit on Tracks is by the Scottish Band Capercaillie a few of them are on 'Dusk till Dawn'. Its a great album if you like Scottish folk music.

Hi everyone, I'm simply registering here to ask this question (please, God, let someone know and tell me !) -

Can ANYONE please tell me what the name of this piece of music is (or the name of the artist/performer) ? It begins playing at 0:14- 0:15 and sounds what I can only describe as 'African' in its style.

(Also, those shorts of Rays'..... good grief, sir ! Ahem, modesty, cough...cough)

Someone PLEEEEASE tell me the name of this music, it's been driving me mental for a few weeks now. I've tried downloading various artists and albums, all to no avail. Any information relevant to this music is most welcome, I thank you in advance and wish you all well in your experiences in the great outdoors. May you gain beneficial knowledge and lose some useless knowledge !
