Flying High is a "MEGA-tonnage" sample user, so if you removed the samples some of the tracks would disappear. ex: The second track is basically a clip from the intro to kraftwerk's "ananas symphonie" and anita kerr/rod mckuen's "who has touched the sky." But Morris' application of those samples is (IMHO) unique and structurally incredibly beautiful! I can play this cd until I die! check out dreamfish, with Morris and Pete Namlook. As has been mentioned before on the list, this will be out domestic US on instinct real soon (maybe even in a few weeks... any details, taylor?). -tt
