Ha! Today is the day of trailers featuring random music that I actually can spot all by myself without someone else telling me. Here, in this latest clip from Baz Luhrmann’s sprawling pre-World War Two epic of gorgeous proportions “Australia,” featuring my absolute favourite instrumental band of all time Explosions In The Sky’s “The Only Moment We’re Alone,” and their songs were also featured in the film version of “Friday Night Lights.” When I heard the track, I thought had it playing on iTunes in the background, but I guess whoever compiled the trailer just has good taste. “Australia” opens in cinemas on the 26th of November, and I am just about popping out of my skin with anticipation.

Catching up on my trailer watching now that I’m back and Wow. I’m not necc totally sold on the Explosions In The Sky song, but this thing looks sooo beautiful. Having already read the ‘Benjamin Button’ script which was great, but flawed and having not read, but only seen the trailers, this might be my most heavily anticipated film of the year at this point. That and maybe ‘Milk’ are vying for the top spot.
What is it about Explosions in the Sky? I am not an emotional fellow, but whenever I hear their songs, I well-up.
This band, this group of magical musicians is my favorite group of all time…

Aw 🙁
Love EITS, but not totally sold cause they’re overused in trailers, but good for them i guess.
Ugh, I totally get what you are saying then. I feel the same way about a lot of artists who are overused in trailers and films themselves. But for once, I thought the EITS track worked really well in this trailer, but if I ever hear it again in another trailer, I will scream.
