Rob Dougan - Clubbed To Death II (Full Song)

"Clubbed to Death" samples "It's a New Day" by Skull Snaps.
The short strings intro is an excerpt from the first movement of Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, and the piano solo is improvised around Enigma Variations as well.
The drum'n'bass producer Peshay's mix of "Clubbed to Death" was included on the Big Brother soundtrack, following the first series of Big Brother in the UK.

Rob Dougan frequently attempts different variations of the same track, which usually find their way onto single releases. The "Kurayamino variation" of "Clubbed to Death" is significantly more well-known than any other version due to frequent radio and club play, and later to its appearance in the 1999 film The Matrix. As a result, when people reference "Clubbed to Death," they generally mean the "Kurayamino variation" rather than "The First Mix" (both versions were available on the 1995 initial releases on Mo' Wax).

The subtitle Kurayamino variation is Japanese for darkness's variation (暗闇（くらやみ） kurayami means darkness, and の no is the genitive suffix). It denotes Dougan's own mix in a tragic style, as well as his stated inspirations from dark Japanese writers such as Yukio Mishima or Yasunari Kawabata.

Coming back to this song just puts me in deep thought, it helps my analytical side, the scope of my thoughts widens and focuses at the same time. It's brilliant and I love the atmosphere of this song.

Guys, DO NOT FORGET Rob Dougan has new compositions, please check them out. They are amazingggg. He has returned...

[Atari]

Honestly. I do not believe electronic music of today is made like this anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm an electronic head until i die, but this is on another level.

[blackbayer_b]

This a mood. A reflection of our society today.

The man, to the myth, the legend. Rob achieves epitome in musical expression.

This song inadvertently got me into playing piano a few years back when I heard it and then learned what Prelude in E Minor was. It also just goes hard af.

My headphones did this like switching between headphones of the sounds during the 1:00 and 1:15 area. I almost had a seizure.

[nomadnemesis]

After 20 years of listening to the Matrix ost this is the first time for me hearing to the original version

[bawbremy]

Thought this was familiar. Based on Chopin prelude op 28 no 4 e minor.

[esenivagov]

This version is an absolute tragedy. Not like the optimistic rainbow and sunshine version 1. Love it.

[NNormandy]

Genius. I would LOVE to learn music from him. That would be a dream.

[bagbiter]

Man, I remember hearing this for the first time on KCRW in 1996!

[segashved]

[Jeerka]

I love that part between 0:00 - 6:11 ...

[jaded]

i love how it feels like it's flowing through my ears at the beginning... :D

[Biscuitboy]

Just stumbled upon this song on pandora again, i have no idea why i didn't like it the first time i heard it years ago. maybe i was too impatient with the intro that i stopped it before getting past it... but holy shit am i glad i found it again, it's amazing.

[venicebitchh]

i feel like a moron but blessed that i just found this song, wow Yupe way better than the first one. Chopin with Rob, masterpiece.

In 2002 I came across this on a file sharing app although I don't remember what it was called. I was 12 years old and had fallen in love with the matrix and it's soundtrack. I decided to look for clubbed to death remixes and came across this beauty. Rob dougans is the shit btw

Furious Angels exclusive track. A more driving version than the 1 counterpart. It uses samples from Frédéric Chopin's Prelude in E Minor. " :p thanks wiki ... rob dougan is a god : D
