Awesome as with all Radix productions, but unfortunately not the one.

Help me find that... / Re: Looking to ID "Oriental" MOD

Thanks for the suggestions! 
Unfortunately, I've already heard the first one, and while it's the closest thing to what I'm looking for, it's still only has a passing similarity to the track in question. The second one unfortunately isn't very close at all.
From what I recall, although I could be totally out to lunch on this, the format was mod or xm (although for all I know it could have been s3m or it as well, but I can pretty much 100% assert that it wasn't any format more exotic than those.)
For more information on the "stereotypical asian" melody the track was built around, see here: http://ask.metafilter.com/16201/Where-did-stereotypical-Asian-music-come-from (probably doesn't really help anyone at all, but at least identifies the specific riff.)
Thanks again for the help, I cannot express how exciting it would be to hear this track ten years later after a hard drive crash and the hosting ROM site shutting down!

For many years I have wanted to locate the true name of a MOD I once downloaded from an emulation site (called The Emu Realm or something of the sort - it was a big ROM site at one point years back.) The site owner, from what I recall, said the MODs he hosted were all his own compositions but I am not sure about that because the only one of his MODs I was able to track down was a remix of Sunbeam's Outside World that was credited to someone other than the site owner.
The track in question starts off with a simple rendition of whatever stereotypical Chinese song is used at the beginning of The Vapors' song Turning Japanese. It then breaks down into a dancey sort of track, still playing the Asian jingle but also "harmonizing" with itself. It was called Orient Express on the site where I saw it, but I haven't found anything of that title on Mod Archive.
Apologies if my description isn't very descriptive...it's been ten years (most likely) since I last heard it. Anyone have any possibilities with other titles?
Thanks!
