I would like to know the name of the piece of music and the band playing it on last Sunday's (02.08.09) edition of Top Gear. It was playing in the background during Jeremy Clarkson's piece on the new Aston Martin. It's very haunting and I am sure it is based around Faure's Requiem and appeared in the film Sophie's Choice. Any idea's would be most appreciative.

Very little to go on, but...

It obviously made an impact- there's been at least two other questions about this

I have read a few times that this was the result of reversing his original composition so here is what like the original would have sounded, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W02LTH8qba0
