   Not a university music major, but I have done some studies in music

   Oh, yeah... now that you mention it... I think it's "Prologue" from
 the album of the same name.  Off the top of my head I can't recall what
 classical piece it's blatantly `borrowed' from, though.  I'll have to dig 
 that out and listen to it again.
   Their stuff is littered with those sort of things, though.  There's a
 blatant Tchaikovsky rip-off on the album, _Turn of the Cards_ album, and
 in their epic, Scheherazade if I recall correctly, they actually borrow
 a brief bit from Rimsky-Korsakov's classical version of Scheherazade.  
 
   Cheers,
            Martin
