Hi all, im looking for a song from tonights 'Best of Top Gear' (15/04 8-9pm GMT) show. It was used during the section where they drive the Ford GT, Zonda and Ferrari across France. Its a choral, slow, ambient type track, sounds a bit classical/operatic. Rubbish description but theres not much to point out but its a quiet tune, i'm sure i've heard it somehwere before. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks

It could possibly be 'Escape' by Craig Armstrong from the 'Plunkett and Macleane' soundtrack.

Thanks for the reply, but it not the track i was thinking of, although i have heard 'escape' on TG before. This track was a lot quieter, very ambient and was only briefly used twice during the article i described.

Thanks.

I've found the clip on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IwXHjQ0pR0 the piece of music starts at around 6:47 into the clip, just as the sun is setting. Any ideas what it is?

After hours of digging i finally found out it was 'An Ending (Ascent)' by Brian Eno. Thanks for your help the FinalGear forum was eventually helpful!

Thanks again
