Help find a musical composition
(1/7) > >>
ataradov:
Ok, I'm running out of options, so may be people here can help. I'm looking for a song (more like musical composition, I guess). I had it on my hard drive from unknown source some time around early 2000s. I think it probably from late 90s.

It is an instrumental composition. I'm not sure what to call that genre. It has no real lyrics, but has some sampled recorded speech overlayed on top of the music. The music itself is electronic, I guess, similar to Jean-Michel Jarre and similar artists.

The "song" is about Titanic. The words were in a style of radio reportage of sorts, very formal and dry language . They may have even been sampled from some official tapes, but I'm not sure about that.

At the beginning the words were about starting to sail and at the end something like  "<N>  souls were lost". And in the middle there is a word "Titanic" repeated multiple times.

It is very hard to look for it, since it it impossible to get rid of the Celine Dion song. And generally there is a lot of stuff about Titanic.

Any ideas are welcome.

It is super strange how a song can exist and then just disappear never to be found again.
SpecialK:
Okay. So tell us a bit more about where you first heard it.  Were you in the States at the time? What region? Would it have been something played on the radio or in local clubs?
ataradov:
I was in Russia. It was an mp3 file. I had no internet at a time, but the there was no shortage of pirated CDs, so it came from one of those. Or from friends exchanging massive collections of mp3s.

I don't think it was a radio-type song. It is just way too ambient, radio likes more dynamic stuff. And it is also not a club thing, again, it would be too chill for that.
SpecialK:


Maybe?
ataradov:
No, the song was of a typical length (4-5 minutes). It also had a more of a beat. And it did not feel too old. I doubt it is older than 1995., probably even more recent.

And the word "Titanic" was pronounced multiple times in up beat parts of the music.

It may have been some European band, which would not be well known.
