[Media][TF:TM] "Unicron's Theme" heard in passing on NPR



I was engaged in my commute on a particularly rainy morning
(thu-4-sep-2003), listening to the NPR (National Public Radio) program
"Morning Edition", as is my wont at that hour.  During a segment titled
"Music, Film Industries Hire Digital Tracking Firms", which described the
efforts of Los Gatos, California company "BayTSP" to track illegal online
file-sharing of music and movies, I heard...

....the distinctive strains of Vince DiCola's "Unicron's Theme" from the
first moments of "TF:TM".  For some reason, it seems to be overlaid with
the thwop-thwop of a helicopter and a strange sort of whalesong-screech.
(But the song isn't at the moment that the Lithone helicopters appear,
IIRC.)

The segment is 4m:52s long, and available in RM and WMV formats.  The five
seconds of song are at 2m:18s, heralded by the words "...he collects
evidence for them, such as this copy of a film that it downloaded off the
web..."
