Thanks.[/quote']NOVA was a network theme written in 1995 for the Czech Broadcast Network.The Runner was NOT written for the tv commercial, but rather was used by the commercial of the song he wrote. They just "borrowed" it.The rest of the non vice songs you mentioned were just written for the album, and were not composed for anything but your listening pleasure. -COOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
