Your track “Strutter” really made me crazy when I first heard it during the opening ceremony as I have looked for it everywhere on the internet since that day. I have finally found its name and hope it will soon be released.
Good job and keep up with it, best regards from France.

They asked Danny Boyle to do the Olympics, without thinking about the music. Danny thinks “shit, I’m going to need a fucking cool soundtrack, and thinks about Trainspotting (a film about drugs!!)opening sequence – Underworld, Dark and Long, That worked?
He calls Rick, – Rick I am in the shit mate, need some tunes for the Olympics, wtf! Rick thinks – “Shit my mate Danny is in he shit, lol, Olympics? Piece of piss..” , – He is like Danny man, not a problem, I’m thinking a bit of trance, some Arctic monkeys, Bowie, some Pistols, and some remixes, including Dark and Long. Choose Life LOL.

Brian – Thanks, that track is called Strutter, it should be on the Isles of Wonder album already but Hospital will also be making it available as a download on it’s own very soon.

Just a quick message to you, the music was fantastic, we really like the instrumental music AFTER the Bee Gees “Staying Alive”, but we cannot find it anywhere? What is it please? It’s so Infectious! We would like to play it again & again & again..SUPERB and well done to you!

What Torley said. The remix of Rez is just beautiful. Great work, congrats on your part in the opening ceremony and the next time you see the guys from Underworld, give them and yourself an enormous pat on the back.

High Contrast man what a gig, that night I was locked onto the soundtrack, I knew Underworld were behind it, and yet that was half the story, as you so explain so well here. I will remember when my ears peeled back (like TORLEY mentioned) during a totally different mix of Rez came that I never heard before.
Then I knew this more than just underworld, my DJ ears weren’t wrong as I had a good guess since your Album dropped this had to be none other than High Contrast. Must of been something working on those old sequences from Underworld, knowing the audience level. Think the selection was pitched well, I get why there was no Drum and Bass, yet I would of smiled so much if you got one in. Is the sound track out by the way, in terms of the remixes.?
