Having recently watched the amazing Michelangelo Antonioni film Red Desert, I decided to check out some of his other films. This prompted me to watch the trailer for the Criterion Collection's recent blu ray release of Antonioni's 1982 film, Identification of a Woman. As it started off I was amazed to hear the opening bass-line from Sons of Pioneers - it runs all the way through the trailer!

Checking it out, Sons of pioneers is listed as part of the soundtrack on IMDB, along with tracks by XTC, OMD and Tangerine Dream et al.
I can't say I've ever heard of a Japan track being used in a film - are there any other uses that I've missed? In any event, nice to hear that track used here - Criterion put together lovely editions of films, albeit with US region coding only.
