Help Identify This Tune

November 12, 2007 6:53 AM

I've heard the melody that starts at the 5:22 position in this clip a million times before, but I don't know where or what it is (skip to 6:20 to get at the really memorable and obvious point, as the tune starts building slowly). What is the name of the piece, and who is it by? (I see in the comments that someone is discussing a Godspeed You Black Emperor song, but I take it that's a piece used elsewhere in the segment, right?)

It's one of the single versions of Orbital's "The Box" (the intro of the version with all the harpsichord in it).

Yep, totally The Box.

It's on the Single and on the Limited Edition Bonus Disk from the album In Sides (it's all one big 29 minute long track there; on the single it's broken up into 5 pieces)
