I saw an interview with Robin Rimbaud (=Scanner) on MTV Partyzone a couple of weeks ago and the issue of the Bjork sample was also brought up. Robin said that he wasn't in it for the money, first of all he doesn't need it that bad and second of all because he wouldn't receive heaps of cash for it anyway. All he was after was that he would get artistic recognition for his work and that means officially being credited for his sample. He added that he was actually quite flattered with Bjork sampling him, because he's a great admirer of her. Otto Koppius "Only those who attempt the impossible, can achieve the absurd"
