is the track specifically composed for oceans 11? Can be a bit tricksy clearing soundtrack music for tv at least. We used to be able to manage to clear silvascreen recordings. I'd look there as at least you are not dealing with the movie company.

they tend to re-record with city of prague orchestra or something similar.
Its all moved on a lot where if a track was PRS registered, I could clear it easily. Now it has to be a 100% PRS publisher meaning we cant clear the majority of US music and some uk stuff. Eg- I wanted to clear 25 secs of a tv theme for International use (essentially a tv prog for worldwide, all media in perpetuity) and I was quoted around £1500. our music team have to contact each publisher on each occasion so we no longer use any commercial music as we need to sell the programme on fully cleared.
libraries that we consistently use are:
Extreme Music
Audio Network
Cavendish music
9lives music
London Sync
reliable source music
Universal production music
I'd like to think a podcast would be cheaper!
I cant comment on the pricing as we have blanket agreements with them. One thing I will say is that a lot of the libraries will message you personally when you register and help with specific music searches.
extreme music have an online live chat option and they send you options real time. They all have have plenty of filters and audio network even used to have an option where you could tap in the tempo with the space bar.
I dont tend to do much editorially but if people have specific requests I never search. I just ask the companies for music reccomendations.
Ive used lots of Pond5 footage in programmes and its all been very professional and quite easy but never used thier tracks. no doubt they are worth a punt
