The sample comes from one of Reich's earliest compositions, "Come Out".
The piece consists of two identical tape loops of a preacher(?) speaking
which start out in phase with one another but then they gradually drift
out of phase causing all sorts of cool as shit sounds/word interactions to
occur. I believe he was one of the first composers to do this... back in
the mid to late 60s. (correct me if I'm wrong.)
Orbital did their own take on this w/the opening track on the Brown album.
You know where Worf (It is Worf from Star Trek: TNG, right?) say, "Where
time becomes a loop..."
