Don't ask me why I never thought of this. It sounds believable enough. ;-)
On second listen it seems as though Vibert's 'bassline' is slightly different
in one section, on top of the fact that it is also much slower than Spooky's,
so who knows? I didn't mean to make this into a big deal ... all I really
wanted to know was where the 'bassline' in question was from? Did Vibert
create it, or sample it, and if it's sampled, where from? Just interested
is all.
