I'm pretty sure that this song is a tribute to the music of films like The French Connection, The Taking of Pelham 123 (original), and other early 70's Crime Drama soundtracks,
Pretty much a straight rip of Bill Conti's Rocky theme with added techno drum tracks and assorted tech editing and pacing. But it does make you appreciate the original...so if it calls attention to that then it is useful in its way...kinda like how Dan Black's tune "Symphonies" relies so heavily and draws attention to Jack Nitzsche's "Starman" score. Sometimes the general public needs to be smacked on the back of the head to see and hear great music they missed the first time around...
Strange.. there's a movie coming out called "Taking Pelham 123," revolving around a subway car hostage situation... I dunno if this song is named after some event, or if it has history of it's own, but the movie's looking to be a good watch.

Why thank you for the history lesson. Shortly after my post I found out about the original film, but as far as the soundtrack went I had no idea.
It'll be interesting to see if the remake goes to lengths to incorporate a memorable soundtrack, to match the original's impact. Noticed one favorite of mine used in the trailer:
I'm on my sister's account, but while listening to this song I deserve to be on the manliest of all manly accounts out there. So I apologize.
This is what I call a "Light Fight" song. One of those songs you can kick ass to, but it's not overly intense like you're fighting the source of all evil or something.
This is something you kick a bunch of skinhead's asses to. Or alternatively, if you're not a vigilante, exercise with. =]

This is from the album called 'Deep Red'.
It was a comcept album based around cinematic theme songs, and music that sounds like it.
It is a good album.
It also featured a song from 12 Monkeys
