- The VW commercial music was definitely by Clannad. Yes, it was also
- used in Patriot Games and the music video shown in the movie was Clannad
- (one from their Past Present video release, I guess?)
- Maggie Boyle did pretty much most of the other pieces though...
-
- BTW, "Theme From Harry's Game" is on several releases:
- _Magical Ring_, _Past Present_, _Anam_ (US release only), and
- the Patriot Games Soundtrack... also a few singles...
