Hi Anyone know where the sample in "My Kingdom" is from? I thought it was cool - it reminded me of the Bladerunner Soundtrack. I was disappointed by ISDN and if the rest of the new album is like "My Kingdom", I'll have to buy it. Also I liked the Afrika Bambaataa clip - the Planet Rock tune sounded very familiar even though I had never heard the song before. Is this because I had tapped into the collective subconscious or is it just because they have sampled something else that I know I was hoping they'd show some Aphex/Autechre. I'll keep hoping. So great to see cool stuff on MTV. Rajesh, who is posting for the first time on idm

Uh, maybe because half of "Planet Rock" is lifted from Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express"?

I happened to catch part of AMP last night, and this was the first video I saw (I decided sleep was more important after the shit-poor prodigy video). However, I enjoyed the FSOL vid a good bit. Hence the question: Was it just my sleep-deprived state, or did it remind anyone else of the video stuff Pink Floyd has used during their last concerts? Both the "Pulse" North American tour and the tour before that had video featured during certain songs, and the similarities were sort of spooky. -detatched, mysterious characters -totally out-of place things (like the car full of balloons from a PF vid clip, and the metaball-looking things in the FSOL) Is it just a distinctly british style, or what?
