What do you feel
When you let go of the wheel

Going on a journey
Somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
[repeats]

Just nicely done, probably the best choreographed commercial I've seen to date. Well done.

Whoever picked this song for the promo should get an extra year end bonus! It is perfect, and fits the "mood" of watching The Discovery Channel's line up. Morcheeba ought to re-cut this song and give it somewhat more power and tension. It is a great song. Way to go Discovery Channel - you ROCK!

i got a better idea lets let morcheeba out of the picture all together and just let T.D.C. talor the song all the way thru period....ohhh and um throw in some more of them killer pictures and videos to go with it

it seems that everything discovery channel gets hold of turns into instant gold. about a year or two ago they had a spot for deadliest catch, a boys choir sang the sloop john b, people went friggin NUTS for the thing but they only had about 15 to 20 seconds of the song recorded.

What the name of the song which is used in the latest HD theater commercial on Dis??

I normally zip past commecials courtesy of tivo, but I just happened to stop on that commercial. I was totally blown away by the song and the composition of the promo in general. Brilliant! The song version in the promo does feature horns which are not present in the album version on Antidote. "Wonders Never Cease" was released as a single with a handful of remixes...do any of those have the horns version?

cassy,
Don't know the song yet, but have a page for it here:

Hwyman,
I'll look into the remixes.
splendAd Admin Keith June 22, 2007 00:27
I've listened to the remixes on "Wonders Never Cease CD SINGLE 2005" and those versions don't have horns either.
