FUSE "Theychx" is a good place to start. The "1642" (from Reload 1642 try 621) is also sampled, but assembled out of pronunciations of the individual numbers. There actually aren't _that_ many THX samples floating around ... in relative terms, it's not a very sample-friendly movie, as it's hard to get any meaningful context from one or two extracted lines. Clock DVA is the only other major samplor that hasn't been mentioned yet, from _Man-Amplified_. Doubting Thomas too, I think. Laurent Jadot (Alcove, MLF Gaia) did a live performance soundtrack for the film while screening it, though I don't know if it got recorded. Never heard about an official soundtrack ... but folks should avoid sampling the vox and just go for the noises anyway -- the sound design in that movie is genius. BTW, anyone who really likes the film should check out the shooting script, which is online at Drew's Script-O-Rama ... Lots of extra scenes and dialogue. --Seofon
