So, I used to hear it back when I was a kid, there were these cassettes called "The Best 90s" (1-5?). Quite sure that The Best 3 had a white paper inserted with the song names.

There was this church bell song with some synth here and there; been trying to find it for over a decade, anyone that can help? Either with the song or some sort of link/photo of the cassettes I'm referring to?

I don't think there are any bells tolling in Return to Innocence? That's the one than begins with what sounds to me like Aboriginal Chants. Then again there's more tha n one version of several Enigma songs so I may well be wrong? There are church type bells in Mea Culpa but they're very brief and I don't think that's the track either

"Crises" by Mike Oldfield? - Enigma was mid 1990's. Maybe even Tubular Bells or Omadawn?

I have all their albums, as well as Jean-Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield and the Art of Noise.

Went through everything mentioned; unfortunately was a miss.

Afaik, there were no lyrics/voice overs. the bells were synthy. I'm also thinking early 90s, <95.

The tapes were simply named: The Best, and had stuff from petshop boys (Go West), a song from Aladdin informer, mr. vain, dreams - 2 brothers on the 4th floor, do you see the light by snap, Inner circle - sweat, tribal dance, oh carolina, east17 - its alright, corona, sing hallelujah - alban, and that sort of stuff.

There was also another cassette The Best (same series) with red background and yellow text.

I know how to hum it, it also goes like this:

tempo:
slow fast slow high high high low high

dum dumdum dum dumdumdumdumdum dumdumdumdum dumdumdumdum dum dumdumdumdumdum, then the tone changes a bit but after that it re iterates on the bells.

No lyrics at all? That's going to be tough to find.

I don't know why, but your very amusing 'hum' description made me think of Blueboy:

Another miss I'm afraid.

The "bells" I mentioned really sound like bells and not a beat.

That's not it I'm afraid; doesn't have any lyrics.

You didn't say it didn't have any lyrics in it. That may help :rolleyes:

So it's an orchestral piece only. Not going to be Jean Michel Jarre or anything ?

I did ;)

Not really orchestral, more like disco/rave/early house/techno sort of thing.

What genre is it? dance, rock, pop, does it have drums?

Post by: Gorion on December 01, 2012, 11:06:08 AM

No drums or other classical instruments, not rock, no lyrics so that rules out pop.

No idea what the term is, synthesizer/eletronica/early house/techno=dance? It definitely sounded like it was made with a synth though.

ahh ok missed that my bad.

ummm this could almost be a gameshow ...... oh wait...... nm.

I'm now leaning towards some trance-y type music from Ministry of Sound or similar.

Does it have a beat though, four on the floor or drum loop? bassline, any vocal samples?

Would you dance or chill when listening?

Doesn't have a beat/baseline or whatnot, and no vocals at all.

For me its euphoric, could be very early trance or some sort of electronica. I can hum it, seriously, just grab me on ts.

This might be a little earlier,but when bells and music are mentioned,apart from Mike Oldfield, this always pops up from the memory banks.
I know its not the one you want, but I present it for your delectation.:)
