Olympic theme tune

Does anyone know when the Olympic theme tune is being released ? according to NME it was to be made public in March and I can't find it anywhere.

Wonder if NME have got their wires crossed, as it was the two re-issued albums out in March?

Wouldn't have thought the Beeb would want too much advance listening of the Olympic theme to save it getting old by the opening ceremeony.

Doesn't seem to be an awful lot out there on'tinternet about an early theme release, though a slightly obscure related clip did pop up:

According to Craig and Jupp on Twitter, you can hear about a minute of "First Steps" in this BBC advertisement:

It Sounds great.
Strangly enough nothing like Elbow.

Oooh, lovely! I've been dying to hear even a little bit of this, and it does sound grand! Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

Thanks for posts , have heard the little taster ,sounds amazing as we new it would. I think it sounds like elbow. love the graphics too. I know they will make us all proud as punch.

If you're interested... it's getting a full outing on @bbcintune at around 5.30 tonight - that's on bbc radio 3 by all accounts...

Olympic theme tune, one word... WOW

I'm completely biased and, as far as I'm concerned, they can do no wrong , but I've got to say that I LOVE it. I've gone all goosebumby!

and the new video...

Ermmmm.... OK, I don't like the clip at all... an Animation??!! Really???

The song isn't bad but in connection with this clip I didn't get goosebumps... Why didn't they take real people, showing real emotions??
The first part reminds me of the Star trek Voyager score (Hahaha... *lol*) then it gets sporty and then the typical hynmal character.
Looking forward seeing it with live videos!

Love what I've heard so far but sadly missed the full outing. Is that what was in TamedLamia's video, which has now been taken off youtube?

The longest version online (which runs about 2:40 and has a prominent choir) is this one here. Also, it's in this Deadspin article.

I absolutely LOVED it.
It's very dinstinctly elbow.
It's amazing!!!

Thanks for the link allyn. Wow wasn't expecting the bit where the choir came in - beautiful!! Can't wait to hear the full track.

Yes thanks allyn , I think it sounds amazing especially through headphones. Love the trumpets gives it a good northern touch. It is really exciting and uplifting. want to see it all !

I think so, it's gone now
I hope there will be another source with the clip, that will be available in Germany, because what use is it if I want to see the VIDEO and not only the sound which I can download surely somewhere legal.
I like the video, just because it is an animation. It makes it more overall to show "phantasy sports men and women" and not some known faces. And I also like the slightly cartoonised style, the huge weightlifter, the fairylike floor gymnast girl ect.

Im not sure if it would work but you could see if you could watch the one show from that day and skip to the end because they were saying it was on after that and before Eastenders so you might be able to see it there (although they have probably cut it out)

TamedLamia - Are you able to see allyn's link? That's got the animated video.

The first link I posted has been taken down. It's still in this Deadspin article, though.

Ah, yes! Thank you
