This is gonna be very difficult to ID cos it's offbeat. I really like it though. I think your best chance is to get someone to ID the vocals and do a search on the internet. Since it's not in English, and it's sung in opera style, even this isn't going to be easy.

Right, this sample seems to be not available for download anymore, but I had it on my hard drive because I wanted it ID'd. I've found out the name of the song...Its called 'Maximising the Audience' and its by Wim Mertens, he's a experimental minimalist classical composer, in the style of Philip Glass.

15 years after you posted the request, I've finally found the song.

The original sample is no longer available but I saved it to my hard drive hoping to find it in the future.

And here's the full track on YouTube.

The original sample posted was from 2:15 to about 4:15. The track is a mashup between a minimalist modern classical piece of music by Wim Mertens (Maximizing the audience), and a house track from 1988 by Layizon (The Ride Inside).

Wim Mertens - great composer/producer/musician.

I found him after Minimalistix (Belgian as well) reworked a couple of his tunes, viz., Close Cover and Struggle for Pleasure, around 2000.

Awesome tunes and lots of good remixes as well.
