The last one is Childeren by Robert Miles, If that is close. The try the rest of his works. also try Jean Michael Jarre. Oxygen. It has a similar sound.

You mentioned you heard it as a blend in a break beat mix. 80's old school breakdance musi incorporated alot of remix that omited the vocal track. are you quite certain there were no vocals?
because some of the artists used far eastern, middle easter, / hindi sounds.
When you say Oriental in nature be more specific if you can. IE: Indian, Egyptian, Chineese Japanese. etc.
I ask this is Midnight star had Egyptian lover, and Don't Stop the rock.
CCCP had American Soviet. they had an eastern / oriental feel. but they had lyrics.

If you ever find the piece you're searching for you really must foreward it to me.

it call the yellow magic orcastra ok

It is instumental with no lyrics.
It is synthesizer all the way.
It sounds like an oriental jingle to me.
I would say that it was made in the 80's (but not sure about that, as it could be early 90's)

I know it is a wonder i have never found this song with such vague information. If anybody out there has any idea please let me know. I am dying to find out the name of this song. Until i have it on my MP3 player i can't go on. lol.
Thanks gang
Any help is appreciated.

it's call the magic yollow orcastra spell orcastra wrong .write back please

Wow Chico you were close on this. Not the song but this has been an excellent suggestion. It actaully sounds like it could be the band. I listened to approxiamtely 20 of there songs & none were it. Thanks for the suggestions though. I will keep on trucking.

Is it yollow or yellow? I'm confused. either way. I can't pull it up.
Never mind. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black , You should really clean up your own spelling b4 u get onto another. It's Yellow Magic Orcastra. Anyway Padawan.
These are my last two options. If these aren't it. A then there's no pleasing you B. Your song is only in your head. C. the next time you hear it you better be carrying a recording device, or make a complete fool of yourself and yell out WHAT'S THIS SONG!!!
To everyone around you..
Given what info you have. this is my limit of knowledge.

Aqua Harp
http://www.mediafire.com/?mmmvbmjp4m0

Well NOMAD. You have been a warrior but neither of those are it. Although Aqua Harp is a nice song. I have to admitt that YMO really has the potentail to be the creator of this song even though i havent found it yet. They kinda have to same style as the song i am looking for and that coupled with the fact they are from the 80's. I will keep on trucking until i find this song. Keep the suggestions coming guys. Thanks

I'm not expecting this to be it, but I thought I should try anyway. It doesn't fit some of your description but I thought of this as soon as I read your original post. And then when you mentioned Moby I figured I'd make sure this wasn't it. I had a similar experience that you're having with this song, and was very excited when I finally found it.

Moby - Porcelain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAYHTES4whs

No mrsisk it is definately not porcelain. This is a very sexy tune though & one i listen to from time to time. Thanks for the suggestion. Some of you guys have got me onto Japennese Techno Pop and the more i listen to it i think it sounds alot like YMO. I have gone through alot of their tunes already & it does have a very similar sound, meaning they could have created this song. It also fits that genre i originally described because i am sure i heard it on a retro 80's station the first time. This song is an oriental jingle type song guys. Sounds like a synth harp. Read my original post for my description. Come on guys, i feel like i am getting on track and close to this song for the first time ever. There are NO WORDS in this track. We can do it.
Thanks

Can you try to record a few more bars on an instrument such as keyboard?
What you gave us simply didn't trigger it.
I really am racking my brain here, cause everytime I play your little soundbite. I come up with Adventure begins by Craig Safan
or even the tune from the last starfighter. also Safan. then there is of all things the second season of space 1999 that keeps poping into my head. these are all jingle esque. I need a bit more I think.'
Now if there were folks out there trying to help me like they are you. perhaps my insanity can be cured.
See Who is the lyrical master. or My head will implode.

Could it be "Lucifer's Friend" by the UK band Vision?

It sounds a little Eastern, I suppose. It's not an instrumental, but the music-to-lyrics ratio is pretty big, and anytime I'd heard it in my life I could never remember it having words. Maybe it was used without the vocal track?

Sorry, but I figure it's worth a shot...

Not the one Runael, thanks for the suggestion though. Have a good day.

Enigma or Deep Forrest

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence by Ruichi Sakamoto? It's the soundtrack of the film with the same title. In this version the "ding dong" part start at after around 1 minute.

Then there's a version with lyrics sung by David Sylvian and even though the music is the same the name of the song is Forbidden Colurs. You can search it on youtube.

Nope that isnt it either virtualrandy and Bunnymenfan. Thanks for the suggestions. I have been on a relentless search for this tune more then ever lately. I have been youtubing every track i can. sigh. Keep them coming please.

One Wish by Hiroshima ?

Tour de France by Kraftwerk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvOYV...eature=related

OMG! Is Kraftwerk still active!
That's old school right there. That Tour de France fit all of your parameters.
Personally I like the radio version best so far.
It even has the exact tune you were humming.
Now it kinda has some lyrics in it. But If this isn't it......
(IN Goldmembers voice) " Vell den . Ders no pleaseinks you." HAH!

No really. You have a problem all of us here have. We all have too little info , and Awhole universe of music out there. I have two I'm searching for that are so obscure I don't believe They even truley exist anymore.
You probably will need to find a DJ. No really , Grab the yellow pages and find a DJ for hire. They will probably have an Idea of what you mean.
