Canon 5D mark II - an exploding fist!

[beyond]

I have been looking at this DSLR camera since it came out just some weeks ago. It is a normal DSLR at 21 Mpixels but it also features full 1080p HD video recording. Here is a link to a video made with this camera, please notice the music...

I was almost as surprised as when I was flung backwards because of the loading screen sound from WOTEF (I was fiddling with the tape deck's azimuth and had the audio at max volume, ie ~11). I didn't know this was a cover, but I can see it is in the STIL

I was surprised to hear this track out in the real world too - it was while I was on holiday in Florida many years ago. There were some acrobats performing at Epcot - to the Exploding Fist music!

So who did the cover?

The Canon 5D Mark II is an awesome Camera, a few members on my wifes website own them and the photos look stuning

Its almost like you cant go wrong taking pictures with it.

Is the exploding fist music made on the SID first or is this an old chinese original piece that has been covered with the SID?
Just a thought
Pretty cool though:D

I want one. Please! No, not the cute dogs in the video. The camera. Now!

Neil Brennan

TITLE: Dance of the Yao People
ARTIST: Liu Tieshan and Mao Yüan
COMMENT: Composed in 1950, "Dance of the Yao People" combined folk melodies
and rhythms of the Yao people from the Yunan province, southwestern
China. Information comes from the liner notes for "Phases of the
Moon", a 1981 compact disk published by CBS Records.
"Fred Milgrom (founder of MH) gave me heaps of latitude, for which I
can only be grateful. I actually studied Chinese and Japanese
recordings and instruments for some of these pieces, absurdly serious
as that may sound." (NB)

Don't think it was Neil Brennan, although he has certainly done some similar-ish, but I couldn't find it as one of his, so I think you're right with the 'Liu Tieshan and Mao Yüan' thing, I'm trying to find it now but no luck yet :-/

Neil Brennan did the *C64* cover for Way of the Exploding Fist... that's the text from STIL explaining where the *original* came from.
