quoted 5 lines And finally, two Orbital questions of my own:>And finally, two Orbital questions of my own: > >1) Which early Orbital song/mix has the sample "I have seen the future >and I can't afford it/In fact, sir, someone just bought it" (or something >like that)? I've never heard that one myself...
I'm not sure that Orbital sampled that, (did they, anyone??) but the original you referring to is from the A.B.C. track "How to be a Zillionaire" (early 80's UK dance-pop) I fondly remember late night Detroit DJ's hot-mixing the shit out of this A.B.C. track... right alongside 'Planet Rock,' 'White Horse,' 'No UFO's' and Twilight 22's 'Electric Kingdom'.' Kind of funny, eh? :) ________________________________________________________________________ Matt MacQueen (Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated). macqueen@pilot.msu.edu ________________________________________________________________________
