Opening theme Q+PR ?

I used to have a download from the original remix made by a fan named Robert...???
He had / has his own site.
I really like his mix and can't find it anymore.
Some ideas?
Dubroc

I think the version you're looking for from Ross Robertson, It's a Beautiful Day/Track 13, was on The Floss Mixes site and it may still be an active site = link

That's the one I was looking for.
His other mixes are nice too...
Thanks, people!

Not heard "Queen" open with Abba's Arrival, but "The Darkness" definitely do, at the beginning of their shows.

Because it's an excellent song. And a great way to let people know that they aren't dinosaurs divorced from the present.

I believe eminem used a sample of wwry in one of his songs and the use of Lose Yourself was part of the 'payment' if you like
