More samples for the master list....

this time they're for the bottom "not orb, but ambient" section of the list... Irresistible Force: Sky High The main sample is a steel guitar sounding riff from Kraftwerk's Pinapple Symphonie (that was the obvious one). The more obscure "Has Touched The Sky" is from the final chorus of "Who Has Touched The Sky" by Anita Kerr and Rod McKuen, off of "The Sky" album. BTW: The whole series of "Earth" albums by Rod and Anita are fabulous orchestral ambient with tragic poetry reading overdubbed, and they can be found at every used record store or flea market in the US, so you might want to check them out if you don't have them already (I grew up with them ;) The entire series is "The Earth", "The Sea", "The Sky" and "Home to the Sea", but be warned that "The Earth" has Rod reading his own poetry (whiney voice) while the other albums have a deep marketable voice doing the reading.
