Commercial Song "This is Honor"

What the song is that plays on the current AMC "This is..." ad?

The text on the ad goes "This is Honor", "This is Courage" etc. while showing clips from movies.

The track is sounds like a downbeat, hiphop instrumental with a piano riff in the background.

If anyone knows what it is, or how might find out, I thank you in advance.

Weeeelllllll..... Here's your answer. But first, let me tell you how hard it was to find this answer; I heard this song on the same commercial AND remembered hearing this song YEARS back on a friends myspace page as their profile song. So I asked my friend and he told me it was by a producer on the label 'Ninja Tune' by the name of Bonobo. WAIT! He was only partly correct. After further investigation on the net(a good 2 hours worth) I tracked down the original source. This track was produced with the "help" of Bonobo from Ninja Tune but appeared on the 2001 album 'The 5th Exotic' by producer Quantic on the label Tru Thoughts. If you would like to hear this song and watch the video click the following link. Enjoy!

Mcav916 is correct, chillpill. The artist is Quantic. If any of you are ever curious about what music is playing during our promos (we always manage to find really cool music), the information is available here:

Hopefully you're still checking this conversation, Clayton. I just bought the MP3 for Time is the Enemy and I'm thinking that while this may have been accurate back in June 2008, there appears to be a similar add running now but with a slightly different score... The piano bling-bling, bling-bling, bling-bling, bling-bling isn't there anymore, and the guitar riffs are heavier. Do you know if they simply updated the music score?...

i'm on same boat as tuenge, i'm hoping someone knows the song that isn't by Quantic. slow tempo with haunting guitar strumming that sounds very unique.
