Music for New Order to come on stage too

Having not seen them live since 86, I have no idea what music is playing through the speakers during the few mins before they come on. It would be interesting to know what people on here would go for, given the choice. Bearing in mind it should be something to set the mood of anticipation leading up to the imminent arrival of the best band to ever grace the face of this sorry planet! Id go for something classical. I thought that japanese sounding music that they used on the Pumped Full Of Drugs vid was good though.

There´s nowt, except for lairy Brits giving it plenty of "New Or-DAH!!". And how many Spanish people asked me the other day if was a "In-gleesh óoligan"????

However I don't remember the name of the movie.

I can't say if it's the same music however, I only noticed it in New York...

The movie is "The Vikings", with Kirk Douglas. The music goes: "Da-daaaaah-dah, da-daaaaah-dah, da-da-da-daah, da-daaah-da-daaaaahhhhhhhh".......

And a re-recording of the theme from "The Vikings" is available here:

Recorded by (and Mr Jarvis will like this) THE CROUCH END FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA, no less!! If anyone is still in any doubt, check out the GMEX '88 bootleg: it's the music you hear before the encore.
