I can't tell you how long I have searched for this song. I thing it's largely instrumental and was used a lot on bbc sport in the early 90s. I recently heard Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence and it is very similar, I'm sure. It may have lyrics by I remember just the tune being played.

Any ideas?

The Lightning Seeds - Life of Riley
Electronic - Lucky Bag (theme tune to Sportscene in the early '90s)

Neither sound that much like Enjoy the Silence though. Any other info?

No it neither of those. I think LOR came a bit later. I think it was used as background music for goal of the month

maybe it was one of DM's other singles from that period? Policy of Truth, Personal Jesus, World in My Eyes?

I've gone through pretty much all of their songs and can't find it.

I'm going by the "largely instrumental" bit and thinking about 'Violator'....

Wonder if it could be the end of ''Personal Jesus' because that's just instrumental

Then again, it may not have been an official single so that makes it even harder to narrow down!

Just to be clear I'm not saying it's Depeche Mode but the instrumental in the song is similar to Enjoy The Silence. It's some sort of synth pop song prominent around 1990-91 but could be a bit older I guess.

One that sounds like Enjoy The Silence is Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme although that was used in Miami Vice.

I'd forgotten this, but apparently it was used by Natwest in their tv adverts between 91-94. Originally from 1984 but I wouldn't remember that far back. Just need to find out when it charted in the UK now.

I love Crockett's theme! It was used in a training video for Brighton and Hove buses I found on the internet.

Personally can't see the resemblance to Enjoy the Silence though. But that's probably just me.

Me either, reminds me of something by the Pet Shop Boys. Nice song though

Is it just me and Jargon who think they sound similar?
