I'm at work, but from the BBC text commentary:

The music for this section of the ceremony is And I Will Kiss, by Underworld, a British electronic duo who previously collaborated with director Danny Boyle on the films Trainspotting and Sunshine.

 

[criesofthepast]

I can't wait to get home and hate on it. Just like they did to us in 2010.

Vancouver ceremonies were shit. I'm Canadian and was embarrassed by them. This is insanely good right now. Like wow. Can't hate this.
