Okay ... What exactly IS the sample on "Last Train to Trancentral", "Witchita Lineman was a Song I Once Heard", "Go To Sleep", "No More Tears" and "Lemmings"? You know the one I mean ... It's got trumpets over it on the "White Room" soundtrack, appears just after the monumental thump at the beginning of the LP mix of "LTTT", and is generally the most thrilling moment in pop music in the last twenty years. And it goes ... "diddlediddlediddle-deedee, diddlediddlediddle-deedee ... " Is it a piece of classical music, a sample from another older track, or actually a Drummond and Cauty original? It was certainly the reason why I liked the KLF in the first place (all twenty-three seconds of it). John Not Scots, just Scott-ish.

i'd always thought it was just a bit of keyboard work they did themselves - but it's not the same sample on Goto Sleep is it? it's different - making me think that it's taken from another part of a song. maybe it's from E Train.... . -- --- Copula Eam Si Non Posit Acceptera Jocularum! repo23@illitrate.co.uk http://www.illitrate.co.uk/
It's described as 'rolling stock' on the White Room LP inner sleeve notes. I've always thought it's a great peice of music. Amdrew

oh i always assumed by that they meant the sound of trains - which you can hear on Chill Out (which is where the White Room sleeve note credits the sample from, at least in the cd booklet it does), in the same way they credit crowd noise -- --- The bus station is the place where the bus stops.

Probably it's a piece of classical music. I heard once on some british radio (BBC?) song, that started with this melody.
