Watched Rafalca before (Romney's horse) lulz. What I don't understand about these horses - so the events are all about looking pretty and whatnot, why don't they get points deducted for foaming at the mouth and drooling all over themselves ? What a weird sport.

I saw the official opening ceremony soundtrack CD in a music store today. I know Underworld were the official musical collaborators with Danny Boyle, but almost every track is actually produced by High Contrast!
What surprised me about it is: Since when does High Contrast produce house music? I had to double check before I purchased his remix of Rez because it sounded nothing like what I'd expect from him!

My cousin plays & captains a local side & also helps to train kids at it, he knows one or two of the GB women from doing that side of it. It's an interesting game but there have been (from our girls at least, i've not seen any other womens matches) a lot of mistakes with regards to simply trapping the ball from long passes. My nan used to play when she was young & is amazed at how poor some of it is now. If she could actually run I swear she'd be out there kicking people around :eyes:
Haha, yeah, I'm still amazed team GB lost the last game after leading it for an entire half :p

Make lots of popcorn, it will be exciting to watch :D
The russins are currently ravaging trough brazilian girls though. Brazil is trying to block, but that doesnt really work if there is a 202cm tall amazon on the other team that can shoot over your block :D

I was thoroughly impressed with the score from the opening ceremony, so I bought it of iTunes almost immediately and I was surprised to see how much High Contrast material was actually on there as well! It's clear he was heavily involved, not that I'm complaining, though!
I'm looking forward to playing out his remix of Rez, I think it's a great track that was goose bump inducing, when it was played in the opening ceremony.
I'm not complaining, it just appears from the tracklist that he did most of the work, and yet there's been absolutely no mention of him to my knowledge in any reviews or coverage of the opening ceremony. Everyone talked about the music as if it was all Underworld, which isn't very fair.

Yeah, very true, but I guess he has some royalties to look forward to.

I blame the cappuccinos :p
While we're on this topic, I'm surprised they play dubstep during the intervals in the games... I suspected the genre was somewhat popular in the UK when I heard it for the first time in TV series like Hustle, but I never imagined I'd ever heard the bass drop during the half time of an Olympic field hockey match!
And I'm not even talking about the American alien spaceship wobble ray dubstep!
