Trying to find an 80/90s song.

[Gorion]

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?

ill have a listen to my itunes tomorrow

Im guessing Return To Innocence with Enigma.

[smilodon]

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.

go to .24 seconds ?

[Gorion]

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

[Penfold]

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

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.
