Epic: Heathrow Terminals Now Play A Soundtrack With Airport Sounds

The terminal 5 underground walkway deserves a special playlist, surely?

Darth Vader’s theme tune

I'm gonna miss the old chime, it's very nostalgic for me and I associate it specifically with Heathrow even though it's at other airports

Hope they didn’t pay much over a Euro for this, seeing as it is a compilation of sounds they already get for free. Like too much modern art, the hype is all around the BS narrative, not the actual mundane piece of “art” itself.

Anything beats the inane PenFed jingle with tone-deaf singers playing over the moving walkway between the train and the C terminal at Dulles. That is the devil's music.

Oh, good idea. 8-( So now when I drive my car, I throw out the soothing music I usually listen to, and create a music file with traffic noise, so while I am stuck in traffic, and it's noises, I can listen to traffic noises from my speakers. What a novel concept./s

@UncleRonnie, that would be perfect!

@ Speedbird -- Hah, I don't think that chime is actually being replaced. That chime will still "play" before announcements, while this will be the noise in the background.

I hope they don't fully replace the melodious orchestra music, though. Quite quintessentially British. Always love listening to it while in the restrooms (or the "loo" as they call it informally).

A nice concept, but nothing compares to the former female flight announcer at GIG. Her over the top sensual Portuguese & accented English was memorable ..... And that atonal initial chime indicating her forthcoming information was comical ....

Oh yes, I have that recording in my own bathroom as well.... " Music to POOP By " !
...lol

Pumped! Thanks for sharing headed that way in a few days

As an aside, Jordan Rakei's music is fantastic, and he has incredible voice. Worth a try if you like soulful, chill kind of stuff

good chance the title is a pun on brian eno's music for airport 😉

But how would know that they have great rates for everyone?

I'll bet YOU paid for it in some indirect fashion if you've patronized LHR !
