Common Song in the Movies 'Stay' and 'Go'?

MovieSongFilter: Need some help getting the name and performer of a song I've heard now in two separate movies.
I was watching the movie Stay last night, and during the scene where Ryan Gosling's character is watching the burlesque dancers and crying to himself, I heard a song that I absolutely love.
It's the same song that's played in the movie Go, when Simon Baines makes Sarah Polley take off her shirt to prove she's not wearing a wire.
It's an amazing song, kinda like a more trancy Portishead vibe, but also as the song goes on, with more teeth. I've searched, but can't find it. I can't imagine it's going to be hard for someone to help with this, so, who is it?! :)

On Amazon.com, someone mentions that Massive Attack's song "angel" plays during a strip club scene.

This was on the credits page for Go:

I don't know if you checked there or if any of these ring a bell.

Yes, that song is also listed on the soundtrack pages of both films on IMDB.

Sorry, "that song" refers to Angel.

"Go" is one of my favourites. I just listened to the director's commentary for the film. In discussing the scene with Sarah Polley and Timothy Olyphant ("Todd Gaines" btw, not Simon). He talks about the music in this scene, but doesn't identify it by name. He does however mentioned that it was written by Timothy's brother (Matt? Andy?)

C'mon, guys. Driveler got it right, and I'm surprise there's so much hemming and hawing on this. It's Massive Attack! It was a hugely popular song around the time Go came out, and the song has been used in movies and TV ad infinitum ever since.

Incidentally, does anyone know why some movies are listed in the credits and others aren't? I distinctly remember Massive Attack's "Dissolved Girl" playing in the first Matrix movie, where Neo is snoozing at his computer while it showed scanned newspaper articles, etc.
