Okay, a few of my own comments on this...

If you look in the sleeve to Ride's 'Going Blank Again' you'll notice
they accredit it. It's from the movie 'Withnail and I', which is produced
by Handmade Films and is definitely worth checking out, in my opinion.

I also noticed when watching Luc Besson's 'Nikita' (which seems to be
getting called 'La Femme Nikita' a lot recently) that the scream at the
beginning of that track is the main character yelling at a security
guard. As far as I remember, it's something like "Open the door you
bastard" in French.

I'd like to point out that both Portishead and Tricky sampled 'Ike's Rap
III' by Isaac Hayes, to make 'Glory Box' and 'Hell's Around the Corner'
respectively, so, as far as I know, Tricky didn't sample Portishead. It's
a kinda interesting trick, sampling a track's beat, bass line, and string
section to make something new... I'm still trying to decide whether or
not I think they're just boring rip offs.
Oh yeah, also off the same Isaac Hayes compilation, Ike's Mood, comes the
horn section for Massive Attack's 'One Love'. They also scratch in the
bass line and use the entire beat and piano line at the end of the track.
Also, they sampled the beat for 'Lately' off the same album.
Fuck I hate being a train spotter. Why do I do this???
