During four years of traveling and photographing in Africa from '98 to '02, mostly Kenya, Mr. Lowe’s countdown music was always refreshing and provided a feeling of comfort. Through hard and easy times it was wonderful to find a lodge broadcasting the BBC and Mr. Lowe's Countdowns. He is a treasure. He should be Sir David Lowe.
I remember when I was at school and our teacher told us to watch BBC World and watch some news in English and then we had to write an essay about it. I remember I loved this music, sounded like "be in the future" hahahaha (I'm not a native English speaker)
For a news organization to so carefully craft such great music speaks highly of their desire and commitment to delivery world class content. Thanks for posting. Greetings from the U.S.
Jack Sugden To make the music? I believe the whole thing was created with a Korg synthesiser from the ‘90s. Lowe did an interview on BBC Radio - not sure which station. He explained how it worked and showed the presenter how to create the old News 24 ‘99 countdown to a degree.
I remember listening to this while backpacking in Germany in 2005. I was staying at a hostel and trying to find English language coverage of the London Tube bombings. A few of my fellow classmates were in England but thankfully unhurt. Those were the days just before widespread mobile smartphones, so TV was a necessary way of finding the latest news.
The Best BBC World Music during the early 2000's. I grew up listening to this. Infact BBC sold million DVD's online in Great Britian. David Lowe the genius.
Always loved this. It had a reassuring quality to it, despite the fact that you knew the upcoming bulletin would have some awful news in it at some point. I sent off to the UK for the CD, which some bright spark had realised would be in huge demand :)
Timeless. Can nvr get enough of it. Been looking for it for years across the web. I'm surprised I finally landed on it only months ago. Gladly, I have it offline too.
This music reminds me of traveling as a child. On the plane, which was usually British Airways, the BBC world service would be broadcast before the inflight movie was played. Also, BBC world would be the only English-language channel in the hotel room, so this music brings back some nostalgia...
Ear pleasing, melodious, satisfying, quenching and many other terms too are just not enough for such timeless compositions. I remember the year 2001 and 02 when BBC used to showcase the headlines with such magical background score. I kept glued to TV waiting for this during those days
When i was kid I always turn on to bbc to listen this tune pure 3 min bliss takes me to another dimension thanks for uploading I've been searching for this tune
When I studied translation I used to breakfast everyday while watching BBC world news. I must say that BBC taught me half of the English I now speak very fluently.
For me, David Lowe is a legend. How nicely he walked into our hearts with these masterpiece. It is so soothing. I always loved BBC theme. Thanks to internet, we came to know about the very person who composed it. My sincere thanks to the uploader of this piece. You deserve credit too. Regards.
Hello BBC Mogadishu Somalia Remembering 2001 back in the days, when i was studying English language institute, my teachers then used to encourage us to listen BBCWORLDSERVICE in order to speak fluently, I remember US invasion of Afghanistan , that's is when I started to hate conflicts and wars .
I grew up listening to this music everytime and its one of my best music ever.! Great music by David Lowe :) Very badly addicted to this music. I have been listening to this music since 20 yrs. I dont feel bored listening to this and this track keeps my mood always high.
I have spect that this music was quite pioneering in its heyday, I certainly remember it, as shocked, not now thou as now quite nice. Originally News 24 had 18 tracks, one for the News Channel, two original countdowns, the first was the stunning News 24 theme, then 14 other jingles, all this made up the CD you know and love today.
This is mighty awesome!! I just only heard the countdown of the BBC news that too I liked the most Nostalgic 2001-2002 countdown. But these mix are great! Thank you would be so small to appreciate such a lovely thing. #Respect #Love #Peace from the city of joy, Calcutta, India
This is just like the Pine Power LI song, who is an electrician who helps light up the Long Island community, and helps out workers for the Long Island Power Authority; and also who used to work for the West Point Military Academy. He sees the address and keeps track of which outlet is not working.
I loved this music! I was shocked when they changed it, and replaced it with something which isn't a tenth as good. This was wonderful. I have been searching a long time for this. Didn't know the composer, didn't know the title. Not easy to find!
@ Ahmed al sayyad Imagine what this music is gonna sound like today, remixed with new electronic beats, more violins, symphonic elements, less synthesizers and with additional pips? There should be a new version or re-arrangement of this music theme. David Lowe should definitely do it and send it to the BBC later on!
Music really wonderful and great man put this record is the date for the others Storh Yes Yes Yes man has created to be the best message Atnma Humanity Thank you for the owner of the site and greetings to all موسيقى فعلا رائعه وضعها رجل عظيم هذا هو التاريخ يسجل سطوره للاخرين نعم نعم نعم الانسان خلق لديه رساله اتنما تكون خير للانسانيه شكرا لصاحب الموقع وتحياتي للجميع ******

Anybody listening in 2024???
Hi!
I'm listening now!
Ahora.. y siempre..desde sus inicios
Of course!
As an ex BBC employee, I heard this music a lot. Not just on TV but behind the scenes including as part of the 'clean feed' streams from London etc.
The music that actually made me look forward to news headlines instead of cartoons as a 10 yr old
Same for me
Anyone listening in 2020? Still holds up to this day...
Holds up good!
Real goo!
Listening in 2022
I'm listening in 2022 and yes it still does
2023!!!

I think you meant to say that it sounded like you were in the future.
Don't worry, your English's decent enough.
Nice experiment with different percussions yet keeping up with the spirit of David Lowe's original music. Brilliant, soothing music 🎉🥳

It’s not clear whether Lowe used a computer for this?.

If Heaven had a 24 hour cable news channel, this is probably what it would sound like.
Ah yes the classic 2000 bbc world music when television center had to evacuated 3 years in a row because of power outrages

You would be right
This music is great. It transmits the concern about the news of the world and how fast the world changes.
