Hello,

just wondering if anyone could help me to track down the name of the music that is played by the Chicago Bulls (and now it seems other teams) when doing player intros. I keep thinking that it’s something by Alan Parsons or something similar (it has a very spatial feel to it). Anyone out there have any ideas?

Thanks in advance…M.

Alan Parsons Project, “Sirius”.

And, for general info, they play “On the Run” by Pink Floyd during the visiting team’s introduction.
