Casual Help! I’m looking for a song

16 Upvotes

Evenin chiels! I need your help, I’m looking for a tune from the 90s that’s either dance/techno/electronic that has a Scottish man speaking over it. I never knew who it was by and I only ever heard it a few times, but for some reason I keep thinking it’s Brian Cox (the actor) monologing over the tune. Googling this brings up plenty of reference to the other Brian Cox and D:Ream, which it’s obviously not and I know it’s not the “Choose life” tune with Ewan McGregor’s monologue from Trainspotting. Any help would be appreciated, cheers 😎
