I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

I remember a song that still rings in my mind to this day and I remember watching it way back when MuchMusic existed on cable in my country. I just don't know the lyrics, I don't know the band. The only vivid thing I remember was parts of it's music video and I tried going off on that.

With the way search engines are today, it's hard to find results when all you've got is vague details. It sucks even more when you know exactly what you're talking about but the search engine drags in irrelevant contexts to what you're looking for.

I was only ever once able to find another seemingly lost track I heard of that I also only knew the sound but nothing of the lyrics or band. The only way I found that was through a lyric site, that I also forgot about. It was this industrial song that turned out to be 'War' by Wumpscut.
