Name that song.

Can you identify the title and artist of the piece of music in the trailer for Catch a Fire (embedded QT)? I mean the one that comes after the Bob Marley song.

Sounds like generic soundtrack music to me. Probably whipped up by some underling with Garageband. It's mostly just a poorly-thought out beat with some flange on the hats and a sustained string-type pad underneath for "menace".

Does it sound like something more specific to you?

Is it Rob Dougan - Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino Variation)? [source]

If it seems "more specific" than "generic soundtrack music" that's probably because it was used prominently in The Matrix.

This will not please Rob Dougan. ;)

And the intro bit of "Clubbed to Death" was lifted from the Enigma Variations of Sir Edward Elgar.

Uh-oh. I'm in trouble... I hope this Rob Dougan guy isn't heavily muscled and easily angered...

I thought it sounded like the theme from The Sixth Day by J. Ralph...
