Surprising samples

Just came across this tune by chance, and noticed a very familiar vocal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5FAtp3pxE (title probably gives it away!) For some reason I thought it was from a more "pop" tune, somehow.

Anyway it reminded me of discovering on here many moons ago, that the main sample in "Jieeehaaaa" was from Sir Mixalot.

I also remember one of my favourite old Drokz tunes, with the sample "there's no laws in this place, anything goes...it's Thunderdome!" - was from an episode of Seinfeld :D

Any other tunes with surprising sample sources?

same here, I always thought it was from a Kylie Minogue pop song, certainly sounded like her to my ears and her sister was of course "targeted" and took a bullet on Fist 01 :D

Can't say it's surprising but was recently cleaning up some old bookmarks and dropped on this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pciD9gd3my0 (near the end) from the Sandkorn Violent 2 track which I think was named on here many years ago.

Ah yes, that's a good one. There's a Ralphie Dee tune on VHU that also samples a different bit from that, "Beyond Perversion".
And it is quite strange to find out that the "rot and decay" that seemingly destroyed those ancient civilizations was...wanking, basically :D

I suppose this should get a mention too, I forget which one but I know there's a Traffik tune with the sample "i am the angel of death", which is from the Simpsons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hym39uzonrg (also used here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oao2Gt1yqs - on the XTC EP, an obscure 93 white label that has long been one of the holy grails for oldskool nerds)

I was watching Street Fighter, the movie with Kylie Minogue and Jean-Claude Van Damme just a few weeks ago.
All of a sudden, "You raving lunatic!".

edit for clarity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wxCjVaISFw

That "I am the angel of death" is from the track "Magnox" on Bitch 1. Without mentioning the obvious homer one, there's another at the end of "Horror" from Disturbance 1... "huh, computers can do that" - only recently noticed it :D

Your post Assassimon just reminded me that I caught Liar Liar (Jim Carrey) on TV not that long ago and heard this "hit me again Ike and put some stank on it" from The Silent Hunter - Such A Thing (X-ecute Records). In the same film clip he also *aptly* says the line "but she's beyond Thunderdome" - not sure if that's been used anywhere, don't recall myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih5l6NL9bEY

Snoopy and Sesame Street. For some reason the most surprising thing to me on hearing them is that the samples are sped up so much? I guess as close as you'd get to chipmunk vocals on Bloody Fist.

On that note also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuEqvjumSvk

I can't name a certain sample or track right now, but I'm always excited when in a movie or something else a sample that I know pops up and I have to think where I heard it.... sometimes it's getting really hard and it's a hell of a relief when I find the right track :D

some delta 9 samples I stumbled across watching movies

https://youtu.be/lF5h5iwwEn0?t=131

https://youtu.be/mVU04yi8lUY?t=465

the execution scene from "Shocker" is on an old Terror Traxx tune too, appropriately called "The Chair"...fairly average tune but the sample makes it. "you wanna fry me then do it you fuckin insect!"

as for Delta 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9phuyRknPw

I was always really curious about the samples in Noize Creator - White Man's Burden, I remember thinking when I first heard it that it was quite some lengthy dialogue to appear out of nowhere in the meat of the tune. I asked a German fiend a long time ago to give me the gist of it but said he couldn't because it was in Austrian. I see now in the notes it's from the (German) Cape Fear.

Wondering if anyone ever posted the source clip for "you wish to spend some time in sewer" Xylocaine - Rural Area ...tbh you can have a field day/month(s) searching his samples :D I expect by now the exact Wrigley's chewing gum commercial has been posted for "Street Sam".

is it just me or did current value exchanged the typical skullstep/hard d&b male grunt for homer simpsons "D'oh!" (slightly pitched) in this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny_F8YVfMpw

Hehe, Noize Creator and his guilty pleasure of extensive sampling de Niro movies (german dub). Many tracks on Brutal Chud came with it... others sounded like the german version of nasenbluten sampling the german version of sgt. hartman in Full Metal Jacket (way better in german ;) )

There's another Noize Creator track that I've always been curious about the sample source, perhaps you can shed some light on it... "NBK Pt. 1-3" off the CHUD "How To Kill All Happy Suckerz" doublepack. It uses the Cape Fear music so you'd automatically assume that's where the dialogie comes from too (which is even longer in this instance). Haven't seen the film for a while but don't remember a gunshots/screeching wheels scene. Maybe the track title pertains to the film sampled? I remember going on a (unsuccessful) mission one day to find the intro samples on "Markt Frisch Terror" (off the same release)... I assume it's from some old timey educational video.

Going back to TC's post mentioning Sesame Street reminded me of this Violentus - Crazy Toon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY-BW8GtjWE sampling Elmo (but not as a chipmunk) and Homer again. I think I first heard this track as a random Napster download.

Favourite De Niro samples are the Travis Bickle ones :)

It's from the German dub of "Natural Born Killers" (hence the track title ;-)
It's the scene were they apprehend Mickey and Mallory.
BTW: For me it was the other way around. As I had seen neither of these two movies when I first listened to the track, I assumed the sampled music was from Natural Born Killers, too ;-)

Any other tunes with surprising sample sources?

I was "surprised" that "Nasenbluten - Concrete Compressor" samples infamous televangelist Billy Graham (in the middle part that goes "I believe you are here by divine appointment. I believe this is your night with Almighty God").

I was surprised to find out that "Predator - Just Real-X" samples the movie Videodrome, but they cut the part that went "I think that you'll find a little S&M will be necessary to trigger off a good healthy dose of hallucinations." (I wonder why? ;-)

I was also surprised that the vocal sample in "Wavelan - It Will Stand" is actually from a christian music project again.

https://www.discogs.com/release/30049-Luna-C-The-Luna-C-Project

"There's an invisible intruder, that's got inside your mind, invading your sense of right and wrong, making your conscious blind".

One of the best vocal samples I have ever heard. And for the longest time I thought it was from a musical like Jesus Christ Superstar or Godspell or something.

Nope, turns out it from some pretty obscure (and British) Christian pop band who sound like Bucks Fizz was founded by Ned Flanders:
https://www.discogs.com/release/1981514-New-Beginnings-Masks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM9DXzIPebk
And as you can hear, about 30 seconds after that awesome keyboard and vocals intro it turns into something that sounds like a 80s TV advert for a bank.

Not a sample as such but you've got "XTC You Got what I Need" which is in part a cover of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aofoBrFNdg which in turn is in part a cover of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PueK3Jz--r8

Speaking of which, let's have a look what Rob Gee's been up to latel_oh Christ on a fucking bike...

LowEntropy - Nice one mate, thanks for the info... will have to rewatch it for that scene specifically.

Not really familiar with the Negativland band but did come across their track "Helter Stupid" which has the Delta 9 - Real Hardcore '98 "play this backwards and you hear evil messages" intro... 4:35 mins > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0P4D8ZXf1Y

same!...,just that i had my old friend Tommy FFF, who shares the "obscure sample hunting spleen" and knows his stuff inside out ten storey deep, having that info at hand. that was at a time when you couldn't find shit on youtube. the obscurity- meter almost broke of when i searched for the original LP.

I'm sure there's quite a few Videodrome samples in hardcore, I remember one on Rebelscum for starters. It's definitely one of those films that's full of lines that should be samples, at any rate.

Here's another one I was curious about for ages, from the Signs of Chaos - Killout record (in turn sampled by many others...but originally from a sort of satirical folk rock opera?

although it's not the right hardcore for this forum, that reminds me of the sample at the start of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in1EZRpIkEE - another televangelist talking about Satan using music to spread his message. Almost too perfect :D

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Seriously though, there's oodles of people "bringing old school gabber back" of late and doing it a lot better.

posted this before but seen Rebelscum mentioned above and it's a bit of a personal favourite (the clip more so than the actual tune itself) ...from the UFO episode of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend and used in Hellfish - First Wave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpUtUQ5YC-Q Would have loved to have heard someone sample the bloke Lake Palmer from the Thai Bride episode, a kind of Partridge/Saville character. On which note I'm just wondering if there's any Alan Partridge samples in Hardcore although probably more suited to Breakcore I would imagine. On the comedy front there's the amazing Brass Eye "Drugs" episode sampled by Hammer Damage and again in the Matt Green remix plus others maybe? Always brings a smile to my face hearing those :D

Brings up the most important question regarding "bringing old school gabber back": Has Mosselman something brewing lately by any chance? Yes he has! i found out one minute ago. have it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlgxtTojDBI

Unsurprisingly, the bit I have heard sampled is the radio interview in the 2nd series, with Julia Davis playing the drug addict author...."my drug of choice was ketamine"..

Although I'd say the DJ name "Trapped Boy" is the winner there.

Yes, when I watched Videodrome, I was surprised to find so many samples from (or rather, in) tracks. For example, Somatic Responses - Cyclotron or Noface - Hallucinate.
Must be one of the most sampled movies in Hardcore after Taxi Driver, Hellraiser and Full Metal Jacket ;-)

Omg, you found it! That source has been "hunted" for years, there was even a collective effort on Facebook to find it, we ended up asking Michael Wells, but he tactfully dodged the answer ;)

One sample i still try to hunt down is the speech about the gods in Christoph de Babalons "Seventh Rest". i could have aske jan-christoph about it directly but i didn't so far because i feel that he will not reveal that ;)
what i recently found was the source of the words in his track "what you call a life" ,its from Charles Manson or from a recording of John Moran’s The Manson Family Opera, it got too confusing at some point

I can't take the credit, someone mentioned it on Youtube :)

Reservoir Dogs too. "Taxi Driver" might be unique in that the famous "here is a man..." speech has been sampled from the original, the French dub and the German dub.

when i sifted through tons of great library music from the 70/80s, my heart jumped (tech step haha) when i skipped through Various - Darkside and heard the 3 tracks black mist 1,2 and cowndown, https://youtu.be/wGbXKzGbws8?t=462
my theory i made up about this is that darkside jungle and tech step ended up to be what they are because the parents of nico sykes and doc scott had those easy listening/ synth library records in there collection were they sample hunted...maybe? i couldnt pin down where i heard them tho, but a friend pointed out at least one immediately when i linked it to him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDxCmgHBOwI

i think in a broader sense what made old skool hardcore so creative is samplers getting cheap enough for bedroom producers.

so instead of being limited by whatever synths they could afford, they could take sounds from anywhere - film soundtracks, sound effect records, "synth" artists like Jean Michel Jarre or Tomita, early synth pop, prog rock, etc etc.

and whilst producers were obviously using their own personal musical backgrounds, I'm sure there was plenty of general crate digging, looking for anything unusual.

I was looking for the source to the speech that is used in Ec8or - All Of Us Can Be Rich. The same thing is also used in Current 909 - Information War (by DJ Pure).
I was surprised that it is actually taken from Decoder, an obscure 80s movie from Hamburg / Germany, in which (Spoilers!) FM Einheit from Einstürzende Neubauten plays a young guy who works at a burger joint, and because of this, he discovers there is a huge conspiracy by the goverment and big corporations that use mellow and boring pop music to keep the population from revolting (played over the burger joint's soundsystem). His love interest, who is played by Christiane F. (from that infamous eponymous 70s heroin novel / movie) is not too impressed by this, but our FM guy decides he needs to take action. So he goes to the electronics store, where an old guy, played by William S. Burroughs, sells him a cassette recorder. What to do next? He does the obvious thing to do, ventures into the next Hamburg squat, where apparently a feral tribe lives that hosts a kind of proto-techno-hardcore rave. Their leader turns out to be Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle fame. Who then gives the little speech that was sampled for these tracks (aha!). And British band Soft Cell ("Tainted Love") provides the soundtrack.
All very confusing (and as I said, surprising) to me. And probably one of the biggest underground culture clashes in movie history.

If it's unknown sample sources we're talking about the one I want to know is "I mean I love this stuff, my favourite thing about hardcore IS the attitude..." from Napalm 9 Track A1 aka "Get Out Of My Way".

I guess the hardcore he's referring to is more the punk/rock use of the term so I guess it's from a documentary or something.

Reservoir Dogs too. "Taxi Driver" might be unique in that the famous "here is a man..." speech has been sampled from the original, the French dub and the German dub.

Shout for the The Exorcist to be right up there - English version on various records including, as I only fairly recently found out, the "in time...in tiiiime" sample from Traffik's Point Break. Then the French dub is used on Hangar Liquides 10.

traffic_cone - Ha, thanks for that, plenty of 'textbook' Alan-isms there :D

Although I'd say the DJ name "Trapped Boy" is the winner there.

"To look at you, you'd think you sing like an angel" ...I never made that connection before with The Trapped Boy DJ name and that scene with Susan joining in singing. I wonder if that was in fact what inspired him to use that name - looking on the Discogs entry, he did the Underground Music mixtape in 98 and that first series of I'm Alan Partridge aired in 97 so it's very plausible if he was a fan.

Can definitely add Scarface to that list. Favourite Reservoir Dogs samples are those in the Re.Pete - Mr. Camouflage track [SPF003] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIm9vWKGW58&t=142s actually it's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Charles Manson being named above reminded me of this interview with Joseph Kallinger which unsurprisingly is sampled in Fifth Era's track "Kallinger Kommandoh" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUkuBJrZXU

Jayfive - could it be a GG Allin sample?

aah of course Scarface. I knew there was another obvious one I was missing. For Reservoir Dogs - "fuck you maniac", the "Professionals" tune on BZRK...I'm sure other tunes have sampled bits of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8djsdmFnjo - and this one on Jolly Roger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z-Rfbe5MNI (which Ive just noticed is credited to Gordon Tennant's dog)

according to the comments on the original Statik release of "Point Break", the strings in the breakdown are sampled from the "Tooms" episode of the X-Files, which is an amazing spot :)

I wonder if that was in fact what inspired him to use that name

it has to, surely? I've never heard that phrase in any other context.

that "Butter My Arse" tune was by the UK hardcore producer Ponder btw, the "spakina" thing was a long-running joke about makina on USH. I like the fact that even a tune made as a pisstake of cheesy UK hardcore / makina is still really catchy :D the faux-newstyle "Dan!" bit is the best.

With the help of Dj Scud who deciphered the lyrics we could track it down as "Why cant a wake up with you" by Take That. Scud said something like "sounds about right, he was always unlucky in love back then ;)
i searched for it on youtube, found some tracks, but none of them sounded like the sample in the track. with no result, i forgot about until a few months later and had another deep search, surprisingly with much more findings, but still none had the same rhythm, till i came across a mid 90s Mtv Most Wanted episode, with Take That as guests, singing it right in the beginning acapella.where David Hammer sampled it from and made brilliant use of it in his track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO1W6ecSRNo just try to imagine my brain in the moment, when i started to hear that sample that i kinda searched for ~20 years, from the source.

Haven't found the "explorers with the courage and mission (or vision) of all explorers brave the unknown" sample in that same Redhead but I guess the real challenge is sourcing the little kid's "I made this" sample at 2:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTFhXzzE7ak&t=84s although it is vaguely familiar as something that was recurring, from a TV advert maybe.

Always been curious about the "when you're doing the ouija boards it's the most evil thing you can possible think of... now" sample in Skrewface - Evil Tings (off the same release) - sounds to me like something said by another British comedy character.

Oviously the Korn melody is well known in Sunjammer - I Am Not A Monster but the dialogue comes from The Dentist 2 horror film (middle of clip) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUfFK4GdUbY&list=PL827A199D66134BD3&index=7

Regards the samples, that one on Tcher No Beat or Gobble with the South Park sample Cartman talking about being dressed like the mail man and smoking crack with some guy I don't even know on my Mums bed.

fly_free - Sounds to me more like something from a British documentary or news report rather than from a film, can't quite pick up the accent though. Did have a check through the Jumanji script searching for "ouija" but nothing came up and the track features the artist Faceless who I think is just another alias one of the members of Skrewface used but there's also a 1988 slasher film of the same name which I thought (wrongly) might have been a lead.

Track A1 - Never Trust A Pretty Face, on the Turntable Terrorist E.P. by Sonic Subjunkies.

i think the intro to this is from Twin Peaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTuJ7cD8PaQ (DJ Eruption - In Jeopardy)

Sticking with the same Director, surely this classic scene of perverse Lynch cinema from Blue Velvet has been sampled before... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=senNDipdmPo
No doubt a fair few from Erasurehead too, maybe using the sound design more than anything.

Not related to hardcore so my apologies first but did remember another sampling Partridge on the acid/hard nrg label, Acid Test Pressings (clue is obviously in the title :D) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBkU0WNgxYU

I'm surprised Digital Boy sampled a movie from 1965: https://youtu.be/rgiBvhMENns?t=55

nice. Lofty must have taken the sample from there, given that his track also samples the break at 2 minutes...

I'm now curious about the "Gangzta" track on the same EP...is that the German version of that famous Goodfellas sample? I'm only basing that on the sounds in the background and the word "gangster" :D

nice. Lofty must have taken the sample from there, given that his track also samples the break at 2 minutes...

And now I know what the homage trak was a homage to as it's clear it's a loose re-interpretation of the Noize Creator track. Another 20ish year long mystery solved thanks to this thread - aswell as the fact that the sample isn't "cuts back so quick, yes I doooo"

^^ I would say the "homage" is probably more likely related to the metal samples,, rather than a record that was only a year or two old when he made that tune. that would be my guess.

This one was a surprise for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLo_pYAEoI - intro to Sweet Dreams You Bastard. For some reason I assumed it was a sample from ER, because she sounded to me like Alex Kingston...

I think the same band was sampled for DJ Paul's remix of God Is A Gabber - same voice anyway.

squeegeebug - Yeah as above, nice one! Has long had me stumped... the best I could ever decipher those words as (not knowing it was German) was something like "yes I do with a halifax" which makes no sense in any context :D. Now you've said it I do think it was red riding hood that TC mentioned before in an old thread rather than the one I said. Very thankful aswell to finally learn why it was titled as such and which tune it was an homage to.

Had a quick look through German adaptions of Red Riding Hood (Rotkäppchen), wondering if this 1962 film is the original source for Noize Creator more so than the Loftgroover track as like tc says he probably sampled it from that.

Blue Velvet sample appears in a EBM/industrial track played by Manu Le Malin in 2005 at Club R_aw, namely Manufectura - Sacred Sin:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyl9L4o4pKo

Good one, that was the exact portion of that scene I was hoping to hear sampled and I like the track too :) Can't say it was ever on my radar but see he released it himself on his own label as well (the Biomechanik series) and also plays it at that Giger museum/bar set. Hadn't heard that R_aw one but that's a nice set too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crIl1PmdRvw. Great video in the related of Manu Le Malin well and truely in the zone (warning: needle abuse :D) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAsv7qSmI4g

I was going to ask about the translation of the speech in "Operation Nordcore" ..always been curious about that too and a nice easy one for the German members but i just see in the comments a rough one has already been done. i always thought it was something said by one of the members themselves rather than sampled from a film due the inclusion of "operation nordcore" at the end and mentioning "the box" (although tbf that could have came from Hellraiser).

"We aren't being hurt, we just get locked in total nothingness. Because no type of torture on this earth kills the human soul more than the void/nothingness. I am being locked in the box, hermetically sealed from the environment. By pills and speed the pressure from within is created, which finally makes me lose my mind. They gave me back all my belongings: The knife, for me to finally open up my arteries. There is nothing to do, nothing to see, but a lot to hear. Total timeless chaos reigns. It is time for Operation Nordcore!"

The track from Hellseeker, Dr Terror, Paranoizer
"You want to make money"

https://soundcloud.com/noisekick_real/nkr009-07-hellseeker-doctor-terror-ft-paranoizer-you-want-to-make-money-280bpm

Has "If you want to make money, awel then you fuck!"
Is sampled from a Belgian, Flemish TV Show "Matroesjka's" about a fictional Belgian sex club with Russian prostitutes.
Awel is Flemish dialect, which in this context simply means "well".
One also hears "Life is not fair, maske", maske means "girlie".

There is not much hardcore with Flemish samples in it.
So that makes this track quite special.
It's also interesting that the creators of the track all are Dutchmen, and Belgian Dutch, Flemish, is still quite different in pronounciation than "Dutch Dutch".

Videoclip of sample at 1:25
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8RSAKiUbAg

"Japanse Noise" is another track by Hellseeker and Doctor Terror, two Dutchmen, sampling a Flemish (Antverpian) guy, the comedian "Alex Agnew."

Alex had in a show been talking about "his friend who listened to "Industrial Music"", and then Agnew proceeds to recreate those sounds like Bill Hicks would do.
Then he says his friend "has something even better than Industrial Music, Japanese Noize".

traffic_coneAny other tunes with surprising sample sources?
I was "surprised" that "Nasenbluten - Concrete Compressor" samples infamous televangelist Billy Graham (in the middle part that goes "I believe you are here by divine appointment. I believe this is your night with Almighty God").

I was surprised to find out that "Predator - Just Real-X" samples the movie Videodrome, but they cut the part that went "I think that you'll find a little S&M will be necessary to trigger off a good healthy dose of hallucinations." (I wonder why? ;-)

I was also surprised that the vocal sample in "Wavelan - It Will Stand" is actually from a christian music project again.

WHAT DOeS THe ReAL-X SAMPLe SAY? CAN'T MAKe IT OUT...

Does anyone know who all the angry voices are on "Shirtraiser"
https://www.discogs.com/release/50975-Suicide-Squad-8-Bit-Shit
I assume it's Simon U.Ground and co but never had it confirmed. Also does anyone know if this is a recording of a real argument or just for the track? If so who is on the receiving end?

Also:
"Ruined was titled that as they played the track alot before it got released. Which ruined the track for them."

WHAT DOeS THe ReAL-X SAMPLe SAY? CAN'T MAKe IT OUT...

"You might slide in and out of a hallucinatory state afterwards.

It will soon go away.
But for now"

It was one of the first Hardcore tracks I ever listenend to, and, when I heard that sample I thought: "WTF? "For now... what"? Why doesn't he end his sentence? What comes afterwards?? For fucks sake, let the guy complete his sentence!"
And I kept wondering about that for decades! It was only 25 years later (1996 to 2021) that I finally watched Videodrome and found and what was being talked about :)

It's kinda weird that the producer felt he needed to remove a reference to BDSM from the sample... but yeah.

It's from the scene in the movie where they try to find out why Max is responding remarkably well to his new brain tumor (in case you want to re-watch it).

(And of course one should always re-watch Videodrome ;-)

It hasn't come to me before, although i'm familiair with some of John Zorn's music, but i think i hear some samples of the band Naked City in the Fist Of Fury track 'Butcus VS Money Penny', namely the screaming, might be of Zorn himself or Yamatsuka Eye, and saxophone like high tone. It's very noticeable around minute 3. Oh well.

But since he scratches it briefly, it's probably from this: https://www.discogs.com/release/155431-Various-Shackle-Me-Not - which has that sample as an interlude between the megamix and the breakbeats on the B side.

(Mildly) interestingly, that album was originally sold with the Luna C Project 3 - the A side of which is "Death Of A Psychopath", which was later remixed by both Nasenbluten and Hedonist.

Other places red dwarf was sampled, intros in both cases:

I forgot about this earlier, but DJ Psycangle - It Never Fuckin Happens starts with maybe the best single sample from Red Dwarf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBuU9bsISTk&t=13s

The more I think about it I'm sure that sample is in at least one other tune, it's very familiar. For what it's worth, I think it's edited that way because what comes next is the tune - that is the end of the sentence. To imply "but for now...here's some hardcore!"

Anyway, Videodrome aside, how about this from Altered States: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P71wWQL-BvM (Doormouse - Cult of AOL)

(and of course from Evil Dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9se1XPD48c)

I love it, just because Erasure's music is almost the perfect diametric opposite of everything in Eraserhead :)

That sample is also used in Messiah - You're Going Insane.

This topic is fantastic. Funny to read that I was not the only one who wanted to know where the Signs of Chaos - Killout sample came from. Only a few weeks ago I read the source of the sample on the Knight Vision - My Salvation Discogs page. :-)

Might be more obvious but the original source is so brilliantly weird it's worth mentioning:

I finally understood the sample and found it, because by coincidence my stepchildren read these books in French of 'Petit ours brun' and it clicked in my head the sample is about the little bear. The song itself i found it very quickly on Ytube.

"Petit, petit ours brun (...) il aime bien sa maman"
Here's the song:

Great track! The beginning sounds like a sample from 'The thing', and the synth sounds like a track of the game 'Nightmare Creatures', but it only sounds similar i think.

As a non-Dutch I'm curious about Ome Henk - even the artwork looks similar to some early 90s Dutch releases.

And I will say - sometimes having samples in a language you don't understand really adds something, and that tune is one of the best examples for me!

Bonus Neophyte one that surprised me - the sample at the start of "Braincracking" is from an Atari Teenage Riot / Slayer track:

Ome Henk was all about fun and utterly ridiculous. He also had some tracks in the Dutch charts of which I only could remember Op De Camping. There is even some info about him on Wikipedia.

And now you mentioned Bodylotion. I recently found the source of the samples used in Catastrophy which are from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 album: Interlude: Race and Interlude: Let's Dance. And there is another sample but I can't figure out what is said. Something like 'let them bleed for you'. Probably also from this album but have not found it yet.

ah yes! One of the other interludes on that album was used for a very well known early UK hardcore track, "In Complete Darkness" - and thinking about it, both tracks obviously have the same voice.

I wonder if Bodylotion took the samples from the Janet Jackson album. I remember vaguely these were used in another track too.

A sample which I wanted to know since I heard it back in 1993 was Zultan - De Dondergod and about 10 years ago somebody mentioned the source on Discogs. These were taken from a Dutch fairytale cassette from 1984 and it is now also on YT: De hamer van Thor, de God van de donder. If I was asked which track I want to hear on a big sound system it is definitely De Dondergod.

Thx (also to LowEntropy) for for all the Twin Peaks influenced tracks. Know half of them, tracks with dialogues were mord difficult to find. Enough for me though (lol). For Laura's scream maybe the scream in Davros - Cum To Daddy (if that's the correct track title).

just remembered that i wrote in another thread elsewhere some time ago, that i once searched and found the vocal sample source for Armageddon - The Viper years ago, it is from Ice MC - People (Ragga Remix), also used in Desert Storm Breakcore Squad - Trapped.

technically it's not a sample, and i don't know if it's really the source.
But it still highly surprised me!
The main rapping in the track "Nasty Django - All About Me" could be based on the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boing musical (movie) "The Forbidden Zone" from the 1970s.

I think maybe one of the more surprising "inspirations" like that, is "Back In The UK" by Scooter, which is from the theme from the Miss Marple films from the 60s, about an old lady detective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9ILsxqdK7E

Although I've just noticed that all of the comments on that video seem to be German, which is interesting. I think the films were British - they were based on books written by a very famous British author - but I'm guessing they must have had a German following. (Which makes the Scooter connection a little less surprising I suppose!)

Well, as I said before, germans loved / love british culture... as a kid I grew up watching monty python, benny hill, the tripods, peter sellers movies, "last night of the proms"...
agatha christie, miss marple, hercule poirot are insanely popular, and if you asked someone of scooter's age group what they think is a "typically british" tune for them, chances are they might name this one... so I guess that's why scooter used it for the track.
but it's an odd choice for a hardtrance song nevertheless :-)

BTW: afaik agatha christie is a globally known icon, similar to arthur conan doyle or robert louis stevenson.
