No that's the "old" one, the new one is from the BBC Nicam Stereo tests.

Actually the old one was "Just a Minute" the countdown theme from ITV schools rather than "The Journey" which was used on the rotating ident. So yes a bit of a deliberate error there as I prefer the Just a Minute (plus "The Journey" is about 7 mins long.

But yes the new one is (an extract from) "New Images" from the BBC NICAM test CD. One bit of advice, if you have a surround sound system on your PC make sure you turn off any "speaker fill" effects before playing it to enjoy it in its full left to right bouncy goodness. It's a fab little tune Very Happy

Might be up again tonight possibly after 10pm

No. As has already been written, that's 'Just a Minute'.

'The Journey' is this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm86UUpYxho&feature=related

Well hopefully this latest meltdown is them actually fixing the flakey MySQL server that's been causing dodgy posts the last 24 hours.
