Instrumental Music

[Sherrin]

Can anyone tell me the artist and title of the instrumental music that is used when the contestants walk on stage in The X Factor? It's also used a lot before teams come out at various sporting events. It's a kind of dramatic piece, all drums and keyboards I think. Thanks.

Hi Sherrin,

I think that you may be referring to 'Battle Without Honor or Humanity' by Tomayasu Hotei (the music was also used in the film 'Kill Bill' ). If you go on to www.amazon.co.uk and look for his album 'Electric Samurai: The Noble Savage' you can play a 30 second clip of it (its the first track).

Absolute legend Chelsea 97! Had I ever been ar*ed to watch Kill Bill I might have known that! I think I have an un-natural hatred for Uma Thurman though...

Thanks very much!

Cheers Sherrin,

I've just found an mp3 of that track if you'd like a copy e-mailed to you?
