ter369, Help! Being the resident classical/opera music buff on my FL, you wouldn't happen to know the song playing in the background of this website, would you? Jump past the Flash intro by hitting 'Skip' and the music plays automatically. The song has been in my head all. damn. day. and now I'm humming it at work. I know I've heard it before, but I can't place it. It's been bugging the hell out of me.

Hellooo!

I'm on dial-up, so the site wouldn't load properly. But I finally got to a "Music" page, where music flickered in and out.

It was "Valse Triste" by Jean Sibelius. Sample it here to be sure:

You poor soul. I appreciate your efforts though. I'm totally spoiled from my cable connection.

That is very close to that song (I wouldn't be surprised the movie composer got inspiration off that), but I started browsing around some Asian movie sites and found out the song on the site is apparently on the movie's official soundtrack. Which I suspected... but unfortunately, since that sdtk is obscure (thus, no sound clips anywhere) and they didn't list the name of the track on their site... I had no way of knowing for sure.
