Pruit Igoe
Was playing GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony today, and was driving around in a car in a mission, when this song played on the in-game radio that was really familiar. Usually I switch the radio stations in the game to rock, so this was like the first time I heard this music, if not I'd have noticed it earlier.
So naturally I went to YouTube to suss out my suspicion and lo and behold, I HAD heard that music somewhere before, it was featured in Watchmen. I'm probably not the first person to find out this interesting fact... If you're as much of a comic book and video game junkie as me, you'd find this cool. If not, then forget it.
Watchmen - Movie Trailer
GTA IV - Trailer
Oh the song at the last bit at the end of the Watchmen trailer was done by Muse, damn I really gotta follow up their music they're really good stuff.
The song featured in both trailers is Pruit Igoe, done by Philip Glass initially for the film Koyaanisqatsi. It was remade into Pruit Igoe & Prophecies for Watchmen. Here's the full song:
