I think that the "roots music...
roots music" sample is from a remix of Towers of Dub, but I'm not
positive. I'll do some listening when I get back home from work, if I can
confirm this before I see a definite answer on the list I'll write
back.
On a related note, The Orb has
inspired me to dig deep into the "Roots" of old school reggae and dub
music. There aren't many types of music (maybe there aren't any) that have
as much soul and feeling as roots reggae. I once read a statement
made by Alex Patterson (not sure where it came from, or whether or not he
actually said it) indicating that one of the reasons he began creating
music was to open people's eyes to dub and reggae. I wonder how true this
is. Can anyone confirm the source of this statement?
