You'd have to wonder why RDJ would be influenced by B12. Admittedly, I found
Electro-Soma quite dreary and I find "On" similarly so. And besides, B12
nicked that sample off of Eno's "Apollo". Now there's good influences. :)
This kind of thing is great for those "all techno sounds the same" arguments.
Listen to Source's "Release It", and ain't you heard that riff ten times
before. Doesn't it sound _good_, though? I've forgotten my point.
Remind me not to read my mail at 3 in the morning.
Oh, and about "Kinetic". Mike Hazell wrote the track and his Orbital buddies
did some remixing, but R&S was only interested in picking up the Orbital
remix. Under the pressure of coming up with an impromptu name for the three
of them, one of the Hartnolls decided on Golden Girls because they were
really into the TV show (and there were three of them, too). The track also
appears on Give Peace a Dance 3 under the nameied Piper...my best guess
is that's the name that Mike goes under, or they just had to come up with
a name and Pied Piper was just as good as any other.
I think that's all I know about it.
