Female Train Conductor Leaves Mic On
Stumble ThisVia Wikipedia:
The subtitle "Kurayamino variation" is Japanese for "darkness's variation" (暗闇（くらやみ） kurayami means darkness, and の no is the genitive suffix). It denotes Dougan's own mix in a tragic style, as well as his stated inspirations from Japanese 'dark' writers such as Yukio Mishima or Yasunari Kawabata.[3]
The short strings intro is an excerpt from the first movement of Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations. On the other hand, and contrary to a widespread rumour, the piano parts are not "samples of Elgar's Enigma Variations", and you wouldn't find them on Elgar's score: they are Dougan's own composition, played by himself; but this composition is indeed derived from the Enigma Variations (especially the visible Theme and variations 1 and 12), and could be considered either as an apocryphal 15th variation, or as Dougan's attempt at solving said enigma, which is the fabled second, hidden theme Elgar said he based his 14 variations on, but never revealed; see details in Enigma Variations's history.
"Clubbed to Death 2"'s classical part is built around Chopin's "Prelude No.4 in E-minor" (from Preludes, opus 28). The piece was played in the classic film "The Amazing Mr. X" (1948).
A mix of Clubbed to Death titled 'Peshay Mix' was present on The Big Brother soundtrack, following the first season of Big Brother in the UK. This version features only minimal string, piano and synthesiser parts and light percussion with an intense breakbeat section in the middle of the song.
An adaption of Clubbed to Death is used for the title sequence of Secrets of the Dead on PBS television.

Oddly enough though, I'd never seen the video for it.
Thanks.
