Arena BBC Intro

This used to transport me somewhere nice.
It has a peculiar power that I cant put my finger on.
Thanks for posting.

Ahhh, I would stay up just to watch this intro. Didn't very often wait to see the program itself - just loved that trippy opening sequence. How lovely to find it again, thank you. Don't suppose you have a slightly longer version that fades rather than cuts off? I guess the presenter must have cut in at that point. Good ol Eno - the original chill.

i just cant stop coming back to this vid.THANK YOU

Well said. I live a long way from England these days. Arena opening moves me still, a great programme - bullet proof. Something to make me proud in an otherwise disappointing UK.

where do u live ?

everytime i see or hear it makes me feel awsome

Still the finest mix of image and music to open a programme. I get a warm feeling everytime an Arena comes on. I like that they've never changed it in all these years too

That intro completely hypnotises me. :-)

Yeah Eric Satie's and Gymnopedie No.1 and this song of enos are similarly great! I too remember watching Arena and thinking what amazing music...went out and got my first eno record..thanks Arena!

can anybody tell me if its possible to get this as a screensaver
