I like that song, and it's a style of music I don't normally listen to. What are some other good songs like it?

It is very similar to John Tanaka's theme in F-Zero GX, so much so that I thought they were the same song at first.

I only know of Ready Steady Go because it is on the Alias soundtrack, so you might want to give that a try.

I know that "Ready Steady Go" was in the Bourne Identity during the car chase scene and also a re-mixed Korean version in Collateral during the Club Fever scene towards the end. I wasn't aware it was in Alias also.

I'd start with some music from the following:

Terminalhead (Breakin' Rules is quite similar from what I remember... some of their songs have a bit of UK garage/reggae influence)

Hybrid (heavy classical influence, the Moscow Symphony Orchestra has provided strings for lots of their tracks... whenever anybody tells me dance music is crap and not "real" music I let them hear some Hybrid and they shut up)

Junkie XL ("Hit 'Em With The Roster" is a breaks song, but a lot of his stuff is 4x4...)

Crystal Method (really famous act... you probably already know "Busy Child". Vegas is their first and best album)

BT (the Movement In Still Life album especially)

Burufunk (lots of heavy basslines... check out "Welcome To The Real World"

Propellerheads (you know these guys from The Matrix soundtrack)

Dub Pistols (lots of hip-hop influence)

If you want more deeper, slower paced breaks... check out some stuff from Sasha (Involver album), disk 1 of Anthony Pappa's Balance mix, UNKLE...

Oakenfold also has some other breaks tracks... check the soundtrack to Swordfish out, or his original "Bunkka" album (that's where Ready Steady Go is from). You into any of the 4x4 stuff?

I second this. I remember seeing BT in the clubs around DC when I was younger, so I am sorta biased, but I still like his stuff.

Thanks for all the advice.

I have no idea what 4x4 or break is (means?). I'm totally ignorant to electronic sounding music. I know of Crystal Method but I never listened to them. My awareness of Paul Oakenfold is due to watching Bourne Identity and after hearing the song I made an effort to found out who plays it.

Once I heard a little bit of KMFDM it sounded cool and I'm intresting in good songs by them, even though thats more industrial.

Breaks sound more like sped-up hiphop beats... there's a break between the kick drums. 4x4 is like a consistent kick drum ... the "oonce oonce oonce" that so many people associate with "techno".

Uh this isn't the Ready Steady Go I thought it was,
