Does anyone know what the music is in the advert for the new series of Last Man Standing?
It's a classical piece which builds up slowly and has intermittent bursts of strings.

It was also used in part of the Top Gear race to Tokyo, when Jeremy raced a bullet train, towards the end when he was crossing the bridge.

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

The song is:

UNKLE - Trouble In Paradise (Variation On A Theme)

Was driving me mad for a while to :)

Thanks for that.
I found where I first heard it too - this BMW ad.

I can't help wondering if it's a reworking of something older, given the title of the UNKLE track and also the fact that the BMW video purports to be Beethoven...

Darn, the video didn't post...

Though, in finding another version of the same ad, I seem to have answered my own question (this video says it's an UNKLE re-mix of Beethoven's 9th).

BMW advert featuring the song in question
Yeah I remember that advert.

Took me ages to find this because it was a remix by UNKLE, I would never have put them down as making this song!
