[sargo]

I salute you Nattywba, thankyou, yes that is it, i wonder what it is called

[nattywba]

i guess we'll never know unless someone does ?????

[newdriver23]

I have been looking for this song for ages, Just if we could find out the name of it!

Given the length of the piece it's either library music or specially composed (both meaning it's not commercially available). Must confess I'd never heard this before, though it does sound like Vangelis, maybe a re-arrangement of the FIFA 2002 Anthem. Sample / download here
