I set myself up by saying "it had never been done before," but to clarify: I was referring to the use of a "spaghetti western" motif ('sounds') rather than samples by Morricone. If you have heard the Todd Terry "Dreams..." track (which is pretty awful, btw) then you'll know it's not a spaghetti-western dance track. Obviously, the same goes for Little Fluffy Clouds. While we're on the topic, KLF's "chillout" album has several tracks primarily composed of noodly spaghetti-western type guitar samples (again, not to suggest it's a dance album). <*yawn*> I would be curious if someone can point to a track prior to Pistolero with the same "would be good for a chase scene in 'the Good, Bad and the Ugly' had it been filmed in 2000'" feeling. Anyway, thanks all for the feedback. Still no respone from Pitchfork. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
