What's this music?

What is this piece of music? (1.5 MB MP3, twiddly Moby-ish instrumental, though I don't think it's him).

It was used at the start of today's Hollyoaks, so ignore the melodramatic teen mumbling on the MP3.

It's Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan. Funny you should bring up Moby; as said in the Wikipedia article, the album it's on is about as licensed as Moby's Play.

Err - Isn't that the one that is the lead into Eminems song as well? Sounds a bit like it.

It's on the first Matrix soundtrack too, which may be easier to find than the original. That's where I first ran into it.

Is this particular clip from a movie, or is the dialogue part of the song?

It was recorded from top British teen soap Hollyoaks, which is set in a small university, but somehow someone dies/is murdered/raped/pillaged just about every week. This particular scene was over a series of flashbacks.

zsazsa: There's nothing licensed more than Moby's Play. :)

(I believe his album has the distinction of being the only album to ever have ALL of it's songs licensed for advertising.)

Röyksopp's Melody AM, no?
