Sounds like they wrote it with James Bond in mind:

"..a band, Muse, says that one of its songs, "Supremacy," would make for an excellent James Bond theme song, even hinting it had be submitted to the filmmakers. .."

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.


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...

cuz i luv ya:

I have a bit of an issue with Dr.Naku and his musings about biology, especially after seeing him butcher and mangle the theory of evolution and say that humans have "by-and-large" stopped evolving. Which is bullshit. (http://bigthink.com/ideas/26647)

I'm sure Dr.Naku is an excellent theoretical physicist, but he has shown that he doesnt really master biology all that well. I have a feeling he does the same thing here. There are all sorts of problems that might not be solvable here. Animals are more, biologically speaking, than a DNA "recipe" that you can simply "put into an egg", there are all sorts of evo-devo that comes in to complicate this tremendously. It is not at all clear that simply sequencing a genome (assumming its a complete and 100% accurate sequencing, which I'm pretty sure it isnt for the neanderthal and mammoth) that comes into play here. In other words, the limitation might not be our technology. Its a bit like the zoom-in-and-enhance-it problem you have in Hollywood movies. it doesnt matter if you have a billion-dollar computer from the year 4350 if the original recording is an old VHS tape of a CCTV recording.

Sing the Muse version I'll be impressed

sorry, not good enough, while they still have a lot of potential, there is really only one i like and that is Knights Of Cydonia

So not Muse yet so totally Muse, love it!

Is this some superbly crafted parody? I know Muse are average at best but this is bloody awful.

Fixed, thanks.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Muse/Marilyn Manson Mash-Up - Uprising vs Beautiful People. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

A lot of you might shy away from watching this, feeling that it's another talk from some self help guru that's going to make you uncomfortable. Just know that this woman is a major heavyweight, and that her muses get backed up by volumes of mind-numbing research before she speaks. You won't come away from this with a temporary high, you'll get tools to make you a better person. Don't miss out.
