2523 Songbird :: Kenny G
uh yeah, I'm pretty sure Kenny has never gone on record to say that 'Songbird' isn't a wordless meditation on the pleasures of booty eating. otherwise it's a pretty solid list, though!

Neanderthal, solid effort, but sorry. That list includes cRIMson and Clover and pRIMrose Lane. Plus the two tracks by Leean RIMes. All of which are clear coded references.

ooh, what site? there used to be a thread with other techno/trance tracks that sampled it on inthemix, but the new owners nuked the entire archive a year or two ago and I can't remember any of them
(also I've just relistened to Superstraight and now I suspect either I'm misremembering another Regurgitator song of the era (never got on with T-Wrecks), or maybe the idea was that Kostic based the pre-verse drumbeat on the wait sound?)

actually they don't mention superstraight and the jaxx is their own theory, think they're talking about the video version but i still don't hear it.
― Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 31 January 2020 09:57 (four years ago) link
speaking of the new owners! that's almost certainly not the link you meant to post, but Junkee has been around less than a decade, so it's definitely not "their" theory.

ha ha, yes, ppl have definitely been picking Red Alert (1999) as a crossing sample since earlier than (checks notes)... yesterday
more hollow "ha ha" at a music publisher deleting two decades of user-generated content at the end of 2018 and then publishing clickbait that could have been better sourced using it, at the beginning of 2020
obv the ITM forums were nothing compared to the wiping of masses of original research and material on M&N, but it's a good thing that civilisation won't survive long enough for future historians to become frustrated

I lolled at "Every Butt You Taste."

speaking of lost-and-recovered ITM content:
Doc Martin: When we got to Melbourne, I remember we were all walking around the city. And the crazy sound in Basement Jaxx’s ‘Red Alert’ comes from the stop lights in Melbourne. You know that little ‘dee-dee-dee-dee-dee’? They recorded it on a little recorder.
