Anyone know the music? Clue ... haircut.

Very cool 

I remember the music from Platoon and they used it in an old game I used to play called Homeworld.  Very atmospheric.

Ive heard the music before and like it, I think it might even be in my music collection but what it is, hmmm  not sure.

Good little vid.

GOT IT  .

I just knew I had this piece of music, even if I did nearly give myself a Brain Rupture trying to remember it and searching my collection.

It is......

Adagio For Strings by Barber who, apparently, was a bit of a mover and shaker in the music industry a few years back .

Yes, amazing video.

By the way, the music? Written under the video, with a link to Wikipedia. 

It is indeed, Hell's teeth.

I knew that, 

I didn't notice it was written under the vid. DOH!

Barber's Adagio for strings of course. Hence my haircut clue.

Also done recently (2000) by William Orbit. Full synth version and short dance version (has a drum beat). These will be what you have Data 'cos I gave you them.

This is the one Snowy is talking about, found on Grooveshark, to play it click the little play button next to the name William Orbit.
