OK, so it was from a much earlier post, but just to totally clear up the "Come Out" thing, the sample ("I had to, like, open the bruise up and let the bruise blood come out and show them") is from the earliest Steve Reich tape loop composition, "Come Out". It's of a young black man who was beaten and is explaining what he had to do to prove it, or something. The preacher sample is from "It's Gonna Rain", a slightly later tape loop composition, of the rantings of a street preacher. I have always been very impressed by UNKLE's inclusion of that sample in the Tortoise remix, because for all that Tortoise play down the minimalist aspect, it's clearly an influence on their work, and particularly Steve Reich's music is. Can't wait to hear the remix album! Can anyone post a tracklisting? <-PS, if one's already been posted, DON'T bother reposting, as I'm slowly getting through all the old stuff.
