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!

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 :()

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
