What's the song used in the trailer for "Tell Me You Love Me"?

What's this song: There is a sample of a frustratingly familiar song used in the trailer for the upcoming HBO show "Tell Me You Love Me". (Click here to watch).

It plays for just a few seconds at the very end of the trailer, as the title comes onto the screen. It sounds so familiar - I feel like I've seen it in a movie, maybe Fight Club?

Sounds like "Angel" by Massive Attack.

It sounds like "Angel" by Massive Attack. I recognize it from the *Snatch* soundtrack. (At least, this is the title it gives me in iTunes!)

I recognize it from the *Snatch* soundtrack.

Also the MA album Mezzanine. (By the way, I love this song and everything, but is it like the new "Carmina Burana" for movie soundtracks and trailers or what? How many places has it appeared now?)

It's been in Go as well.

Yup, its "Angel," and k4b is right - its been used in a ton of movie trailers.

This list might help you figure out where you know it from. It seems a common song for soundtracks/trailers/etc. I hear it a lot, but I think I know it best from a pivotal moment toward the end of season four of The West Wing.

Thanks - and thanks for the iMDB link, I didn't realize you could get such detailed info on artists there too.
