Once Apple comes out with the next Macbook Air, I think that they should definitely use this piece in the commercial.

Thumbs up for the link and reminder of awesome Harry Potter music.

Thumbs down because the music is better suited to... Harry Potter! 😀 (and anything else that is epic fantasy related).

Soooo... guess that's a +0 from me. Neutral. Lol.

They will most likely use a lesser known artist/track.

This song actually makes me think about the new MBA with its Lion desktop, launch pad, and what not.

It's too wet, with too much going on. Apple's music choices are usually very dry or fairly lo-fi. Little reverb or delay going on, and generally not much in the way of production.

Lover's Carvings by Bibio would be great if Amazon hadn't already used it - it's fantastic, such a great feel to it. Could've been recorded in the 60s.

They haven't solved the meaning of life, they just make good computers
