3 Minutes Of Calming BBC2 Ident Music

Three minutes of BBC2 music I recorded from various signoffs.

[@jainee4507]

These idents are possibly the earliest memories I have. Being a baby just transfixed by the imagery and sounds. The entire team who put these idents together did a remarkable job, they mean so much to me so I thank every one of them.

[@visionist7]

I will never stop being fascinated by this music

[@interstat2222]

I would love there to be an album of extended tracks, especially silk.

[@ACOTofficial]

Happy 60th birthday BBC 2!

The shadow music makes me see the Paint Ident

[@SeedsofJoy]

seeing these indents at like 1am in the morning knowing youre about to watch a rebroadcast of one of the best documentaries youve ever seen but never heard of....

[@JontyMaster]

Yay thanks for starting off with the Optics music! That's probably my favorite BBC2 ident!

[@gabrielolegario1408]

oh cool mine is the diary one

[@ianbennett66]

Loved the 90's BBC 2 Music Intro Great Day's & The Sound of the Bell's.

[@interstat2222]

@@ianbennett66 Anyone know if they ever released the full tracks or if they were just short stingers?

[@neptune8thplanet]

Love the Car and Dog ident

[@visionist7]

It's my favourite too

[@jennydale8680]

This would be good meditation music 🧘‍♀️ and also transports me back to the 90s my childhood ☺

[@bonziaaron5059]

It kinda sounds 1987-esque though.

I would buy a Tony and Gaynor Sadler ambient record.

[@auroramartell]

Who wouldn't?

[@Johnno9989]

Was it those guys that did the music?

[@JosiahStuart]

@@Johnno9989 Yup, they did. In fact, during the “How Did They Do That?” episode on the idents, Gaynor showed up when they started talking about the music in the idents.

[@VibeformLegacy]

Very Calm Indeed!

[@RachaelLouiseGerrard]

Thanks Loads For Making This, It's What I've Been Looking For For Years, Means The World :)

This is my ASMR.

[@starfishorca2975]

This music is absoutely beautiful and the number 2 is my favorite of all time...I kinda felt average to the new logo but this 2 of 1991 is the greatest of all time ... its fonts are Gill Sans most likely and Agenda Sans Bold

[@dddudespark]

Agreed, I love it! These idents were always here when I needed, They calmed me and fascinated me by just looking at it. (Always wished of being British though)

[@kinia3971]

the (almost) identical font that i could find is Gill sans MT pro

[@futrey9353]

thats my jam

[@neptune8thplanet]

0:59 I like that 2 ident

[@Bobbyandmog]

His name is dog

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for all these of course-and well done so then too. Not only are the now old idents wonderful really, but so then is the music too as well. You have a mix here of the slanted BBC and then the later upright BBC TWO idents as well. 10 out of 10 for sure so too. Well done!

[@geekmin-old]

I *WILL* make a 4 hour version of this video if it’s the last thing I do.

[@RandomBBCStuff]

Listening to this on loop in the shower is just different.

[@marigoldmusic33]

This is so relaxing. I love this

[@Ravinder2220]

0:41 my favourite

[@tartarold]

calming for late night last minute homework while feeling isolated

[@garethstephenlankshear9379]

I used to have a tape of the BBC 2 music in the 1990s, sadly the tape broke, would love to contact Tony and Gaynor Sadlor if I could

[@isaackingvideos]

There's something about these idents that make me want to sleep on a sunset beach It's so relaxing

[@jct9099]

Any chance you can make it or find a 4 or 5 hour version?

[@midnightandtommy]

Ahhh..... feels.

[@bonziaaron5059]

It kinda sounds 1987-esque though.

[@bonziaaron5059]

The bbc2 idents sounds very 80s perhaps...

[@FamtechVideos]

@@bonziaaron5059 It was from 1991 and was used in idents until 2001.

[@midston5843]

I don't know, they feel timeless to me.

[@xerostar2009]

the early 90's were basically a leftover variant of the late 80's

Wow

[@andyewing4143]

“in half an hour We will be seeing what the doctor it’s up to in Doctor Who but now it’s time to see the wildlife in nature: The life of a kangaroo.”

[@nathanirlam3159]

god damn it, why did they remove the optics ident? they should of kept it :(

[@nathanirlam3159]

PLUS ALL THE OTHER IDENTS

[@lastp6905]

They were looking a bit dated, and I say this as someone who loves them and wishes BBC2 still showed them

[@dddudespark]

but the creators should kept them, Agreed.
