Let's go back to the past... At a very young age I've already (innocently) supported piracy. I would download songs from bands like Green Day, Nirvana, and Metallica off the internet through websites that host the mp3s. Back then, everyone was using 56k dial-up so they could not download porn clips. They could only view still graphical porn. All except for my good mate, Jon. He would leave his connection on for as long as he could. Why? Because HIS FARDER GOT MARNEE!
Let's head back to the topic. I wanted to download a particular Green Day song and I ended up with this mp3 that was named "Numerical No.7". I played it and said "This ain't Green Day. I got fucking scammed" but as I listen to the song, I started to like it. A few minutes after, I LOVED it. For a while I couldn't be bothered about who's the artist or what's the song title, until my harddisk drive got corrupted (not because of porn, mind you. wear and tear, idiot).
And so the search began... and it lasted for 10 years.
A few years back my band, The Red Headed Cigars, performed for an event held by MMU. I clearly remember during one part of the break, they played the very same song that I was looking for. I went nuts and told myself that I must ask the organizer of the event for the tracklist for that night but because I take my music seriously (focused on other priorities), I forgot about it.
Now... A few weeks back Ah Dez (Kenny Fernandez. haha) told me about a compilation from the Ministry of Sound. I got interested and searched for it on mininova.org. I downloaded the one that interests me the most, Various Artists - Ministry of Sound Chillout Classics. As I was listening to it, THE SONG CAME UP. I went omgpullhairtakeoffboxersswingmytoolfromsidetoside! I FINALLY GOT IT! Now, I will never ever forget the name Robert Dougan, genre-blending music composer, because he composed Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino Variation), the classic featuring big beats and orchestral themes.
Here is the short version of it on YouTube:
