Am I mistaken.... or when I was listening to "James May's Man Lab" tonight (on BBC HD - it was a repeat) did I not hear the same sample (or most probably the original) that's used in LTTT 808 Bass version...? Here is the clip as played on BBC HD, skip to 3:50(ish) and insert your own "Partys, and party music.." sample. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtFkn4gRt-M Now listen to this, I think the same sample played at the beginning of my favourite remix of LTTT, the 808 Bass version is the same piece of music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9rR0c0pSwM All novelty aside, this is one of the most satisfying things about being into the age of samples that was presented to us in the early 90s. I now listen predominantly to BBC Radio 2, and there are countless tracks I hear month after month that have been the original source for the pioneers of the 90s sound. A good example is: Original track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTFCwKvlKZo (Automatic Lover - D Dee Jackson) Track which samples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4vZqpEnF30 (Out There - Friends of Matthew) Even 2 decades later, the tracks that I was fascinated by as a teenager reveal themselves to me at random times. God bless the sample.

I always thought that background music/sample was from same movie "This Island Earth" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR7e3StbXoU) as the "Metaluna is another planet" sample is. But I haven't seen the movie so I can't confirm this. -- anttil

The "Metaluna" sample isn't actually from the movie. It's from an album of assorted movie themes with a guy doing spoken intros based on the movie: You can find the whole thing here: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/10/365-days-303---.html The 'Metaluna' sample is from track 14. 'Parties, and Party Music' is on track 7. I've scanned through the music for all the tracks a bit, but don't hear the cue used on the 808 Bass version. It sounds familiar, though... Maybe I just missed it. Sam
