Question
You have already helped me by just looking at your previous answers about Magazine 60 Don Quichotte! But want you to help me now. It's about weird background music of advertisement of Seiko Revoli(1982-84) and Bench, as Richard Gomez was rowing a  kayak(1989?). Both are sang by female sopranos and beautiful keyboard works. Am sure you have heard Bench already. Thanks a lot

Answer
Dear Balloyd,

I have seen both advertisement during their prime back then. With that Seiko ad, I do not think I'm familiar with its music. As with Bench, I just remember it's an award-winning craft with the title A DAY IN A SCULLER'S LIFE. But remembering what I heard back then, I don't think it's a recent recording that Bench used. It's probably an original composition commissioned by Bench for the commercial ad. Let's hope some of our readers know the exact answer and share their views.

Maraming salamat po!!
