Looks like the answer to that question is, No! How disappointing.

Is this new? The BBC Two logo transitioning to iPlayer, similar to BBC One's trailers as late.

I have managed to grab it. It does seem certain idents are more favorable than others, silk seems to have taken more of a back seat compared to Optic.

I have heard a new CA I think on BBC 2, he was doing morning shift on Sunday and monday.

Alright, so I was watching a capture of Optics on Youtube and I noticed in the description, it had been claimed by 'Atmosphere TV' and the track they were claiming was called 'Inhale' from the album 'ATV04B_Radio'.

Curious, I did some further research and the album is a collection of commercial advertising music, some of which included BBC Two's idents. I'm pretty sure the album itself is common knowledge at this point, but I found something interesting within the album. I found the album on some dodgy Chinese website with the full album available for streaming (not sure if this is illegal or no so i'm not linking it) and I found a track which is within the style of the other BBC Two idents at the time, but I've never heard it before in my life.

Here's the audio file from the website, apologies for the bad audio but it's the best the website would offer.

For those who can't listen to it, it's basically some sort of 'remixed' version of Optics.

So, is this a new, unused discovery? Or am I just some mutt who's late to find out?

It sounds like something that would be used off a special ident..

Oh, and hey Logan 😉

It's the soundtrack of the Night School ident.

Yeah, same. It's a shame the soundtrack wasn't used anywhere else since it's really nice.
