I posted a rough draft of a fanvid I did on Youtube (still private, it's not ready) using part of "The Age of Magic" from the Merlin soundtrack and I got a notice asking me to acknowledge third party content. But it wasn't for the Merlin soundtrack. It said the song was called Abandoned Toys: The Witch's Garden (Prelude). I thought it was a mistake but listening to it, they sound exactly the same in parts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSTH-esyF401:40 www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4sHJ--fE0Y1:40

There's definitely very similar sounding passages at the start of the Abandoned Toys... song, and from 1:40 onwards. Too similar to be coincidence, IMO. In fact, it sounds exactly the same, which leads me to wonder if that part of the song is actually sampled from the Merlin soundtrack itself?
I would be interested to know if this was actually done with permission from Trevor Jones/ Hallmark Entertainment (I can't find any evidence to support this, but it may well be the case), or if the guy behind AT simply hoped nobody would notice.

I e-mailed Brett Branning of Abandoned Toys and asked him. He replied:

Ah, cool. Thanks for the update! I thought that it was too similar to be a rerecording XD
