"This track is based on the song "Mars, the Bringer of War," the first movement of The Planets suite by Gustav Holst" - Keenwiki

Looks like both Keen 5 and that ad had tracks based off of "Mars, the Bringer of War".

So yes, Gustav Holst was a big Keener back in the day and the guy just ripped off Keen 5. Jerkface!

Bernie, I wasn't aware of the Mars track, for me the first contact with this tune was in 1994 when it was the first time that I played Keen 5
