This sounds very much like a sample from Bessie Smith, originally recorded in, ooh, the 1960s. I couldn't really disagree more with whoever made the positive comment about the 'stories' in Reload's Collection Of.. I lent this to someone and at first he didn't like the music because the stories were so bad. They really are awful. The new Locust single sounds pretty interesting - he gets away with using what in a more naive age we would call vocals. Even the 808 State mix is good. More detail later perhaps when I've listened more. adam
