Hi people,  
Here’s something that’s REALLY bugging me, and given the vast quantities of knowedge that reside here (useful and otherwise :)) I thought I would give it a go.

OK, this might just be a UK thing…in the Odeon Cinema (the one i frequent is in Coventry), there’s a piece of music that plays before the film shows, with kinda sparks flying around on the screen saying something about how Odeon is ‘fanatical about film’

The music is kinda jazzy and at least feels improvisational, with saxaphone type stuff going on in the background and a guy singing/speaking over the top.

**What is that piece of music?** Name? Artist?

As far as I’m concerned, that music is almost worth the entrance fee 🙂

Song identification threads ususally do best in the Cafe Society forum, so I’ll move this one over there.

sorry bibliophage , makes sense anyway.

So is it that no -one knows, or is that you like to leave me in torment??
