Hi, Exactly - I mean this guy wants to lighten up slightly. I'd be quite happy if someone took a piece of my music and made new music from it - it shows a bit of incentive if you ask me. I've been working on this 30 minute ambient piece with samples from Take That and Boyzone - d'ya think I'll get away with it. I'm also using the Teletubbies catchphrase thingy but I'm putting a shit load of echo effects on it.

Date: 28 November 1997 12:31 Well well well, First of all what do they mean with "the hit 70s band"??, did they have a hit in the '70s? Or do they play '70s music? If it's the first option then they should be happy that Mick Harris took a "sample" from one of their tracks. If it's the second option: DITO, maybe someone is going to buy the rest of their stock now Why are these guys so pissed off about it. This David Pack sounds like a very narrow-minded and tight-arsed person. He'd better watch out with taking justice into his own hands, he could end up being sued bu Mick Harris for harrasment. Ambrosia......well in Flemish (Dutch/Belgian dialect) it has a "alternative" meaning, meaning: Lamer.... np: David Holmes:Let'sGetKilled DavePack70 (davepack70@aol.com) wrote:

A little piece of silly bullshit trivia: One of those idiots in 'Ambrosia' was the son of a junior high school math teacher I had in the '70's. They really thought they were the shit. Here's the titles of a few of their 'hits': 'Nice, Nice,Very Nice' 'Time Waits for No One' 'Holdin' On to Yesterday' Sounds like these boys are fucked... So there. brock. ps. If you want to hear some of their shit, check: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/7661/ np: Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle - 'One from the heart'
