RATING
Clubbed To Death is a dark and moody piece of electronica that suceeds in its goal of being cross genre. It does this through a deft combination of orchestral and dancefloor music.
The orchestral pieces, all performed by Dougan (because he couldn't afford an orchestra at the time) are dark and brooding and mostly feature string sounds. This is overlaid with some driving beat loops and a synth string bass that help develop and move forward the mood of suspense. Sprinkled throughout this are a number of breaks, where the beats drop out to leave a haunting piece of piano that works as an effective release from the built-up tension of the track.
Of the six 'variations' of this track that were released in '95, this one became the most popular before going on to be used in the film The Matrix in '99.

I was trying to find the name of the piano piece from this song or its compositor but i couldnt find any information or piano tabs at all... please tell if you have any ideas about it because I really loved the piano piece.
the song quotes Sir Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, although it's not originally arranged on piano I don't believe. Here's a link to the original orchestral piece:

That piano piece is Rob D's own work written for this song. :)
