That tune in the WWDC 08 keynote

Truth be said, I don’t know if anyone has wondered what song could be heard in the video that Steve Jobs played during the keynote address for the WWDC 2008, which showed what some big corporations think of the iPhone. It doesn’t hurt to tell about that song, though, just in case it caught someone else’s attention.

The album in which this song is included is called Far Away Trains Passing By, a truly evocative title appropriate for the delicious music it contains.
