At Duncan’s TV Adland I’ve written up the story of the TV advertisement featuring the music of Moby, “God Moving Over the Face of the Water”, and a concept straight from Postal Service music video, “Such Great Heights”.

Having seen the music video I thought it was worth writing up at Duncan’s TV Music Videos. The video was shot in a wafer fabrication plant - a factory where data is imprinted into silicon chips and disks.
And linked up with the two stories is the launch of Apple iLife 06 for Mac, and the MacBook Pro.
