I don't think I have the beans, but this really reminded me of a weirdly good mash up of this song and the theme from 28 Days Later. It's one of those mashups that's completely overwritten the original in my mind.

Everything was fun and games, but then, 28 days later...

Yes, but World War Z was a movie made for morons. God. Good fast zombie flick? 28 Days Later.

I don't think it's a sample. It's a piano arpeggiating a root 5th and octave, which is a common device sometimes referred to as a 'pedal point'. The static nature of a 'pedal' provides tension and a constant from which the rest of the music can draw contrast. The 28 Days Later soundtrack has a cue called "In A Heartbeat" that uses a similar intro. Plenty of Thomas Newman and Philip Glass cues start out similarly too.


Look at the big brain on Brett!

Thank you for this, I think my film-soundtrack-addled brain was mixing the 28 Days Later and Moon piano bits. I still get an eerie déjà-entendu everytime I listen to the Muse song...

I've spent many days/weeks in Seattle. Another great, great city. What I like about both is that on Sunday afternoons, in certain areas, they really are empty and you can really breathe in the history.>> ^PlayhousePals:

1. I love this city. If I had to live in one major city in America, it would be San Francisco.
2. Check out the same treatment of London in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. Eerie!

!. It's the only city I'd consider relocating to IF I had to leave Seattle
2. Agreed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6j5Pu7gQ-k

@Sarzy - As has been explained in recent films, when the lower brain function proceeds (due to the virus running rampant there), the basic mammalian instincts continue. The need to feed is not driven by a need to survive hunger (depending on the movie; 28 Day Later is one exception) because if a zombie didn't eat for a hundred years, it'd still be walking around aimlessly with it's never-decomposing body intact. It's just the primitive drive to feed that urges them onward.

This makes me wonder why then that's the only basic instinctual behavior zombies carry out. It seems they should be doing other things like trying to make sex with one another.

ha, i missed that, i was so pissed at their mis-use of the awesome 28 Days Later OST

In reply to this comment by DerHasisttot:
Dial Up-sound? Really, Australian media?

How come it says "28 Days Later" and uses footage from "28 Weeks Later"?

Christ. 28 Days Later.
