Help Identify Instrumental Song (Excerpt)


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what song this is? Someone sent me this excerpt asking that I use it for the ending of a slideshow... but I'd like to find the original. Anyone have an idea who the artist or what the song might be called?

Can't attach music files, so I recorded it with Pocket Recorder (WP7), I think the file only stays up for 48 hours though so I'll edit the link if I need to: http://www.xochl.com...08-4e533ac93719

Thanks in advance!

tried music file search but no luck. Is that the only piece of the song you have?

Chsoriano, how about asking the person who sent you the clip initially where it's taken from?

:) That was the first place I went to. It was recorded from a movie; she wasn't watching the movie it just managed to record this piece. I don't understand why she didn't think to check the name of the movie at least but she's not the brightest...

I bet it's something by either Brian Eno or Yndi Halda.

Thanks for the tip at least... I'll listen to some songs by them. Actually, now that you mention it, I have at least one song by Brian Eno (Ascension/An Ending) and it does sound similar in style.

I don't mean to be rude but I don't trust you enough to download a file from you. If it was put on youtube or a similar site I could help.

No worries... I'll admit the link looks a little fishy, thanks anyway :)

Unfortunately, yes... I think my friend was hoping I could loops this portion a couple times... But I actually like it and now I want the actual song

Ugh, you have to be a real ambienthead to know the exact release, and sadly for you, that phase of my musical experience is well past me. I think it's Eno related but the guitar inclusion is not something that's usually associated with his ambient work. Music for Aiports is the closest I can think of. It's definitely not Stars of the Lid but have a look at The Tired Sounds Of anyway, look, there's free excerpts samples to try - you love that don't you? :p

Ha, samples!? I just downloaded a bunch of Eno's albums to listen to. Gotta love Zune Pass. Thanks for the tips though, I'm going to stat with that music for airports and music for movies (I and II).

Thanks!

Just Remembered: Try Max Richter too.

I listened to a bunch of Max Richter today... I haven't listened to Infra yet but I don't think it's any songs on the Richter's albums I listed below. I'll check out Infra tomorrow.

  • The Blue Notebooks
  • Songs From Before
  • 24 Postcards In Full Colur
  • Sarah's Key

Anyone think it could be a song by The Album Leaf?

Might be, but Im not so sure.

Listening to the extract again, you might try the earlier Mogwai albums. The first Godspeed You! Black Emperor album or the only Sight Below album.

Sorry to bump this, but anyone think it could be a Distorted Reality song?

I've downloaded one of the albums (Daydreams And Nightmares) but I don't think it's any of these. I know there is at least another album though... not sure if I should buy it (It's not available on Zune :()

    • WTF! Nah, not this one. If you were back then using computers in the 90s or you had a clue, you'd know this was huge and was seen and overused absolutely everywhere and you'd take this article as no more than a retrospective story. That's all it is.
    • these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.
    • 256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.
    • It’s not about the NOx. It’s about the electrical field.
