Reaaaaaally nice...:) > my favorite is the Fleetwood Mac samples...of the Albatross..its the bluesey guitar that comes in various parts of the song. Also, Into the 90's ....and beyond.. is permanately burned into my brains from long term KLF:Chill Out exposure. And how could I not mention the Van Halen guitar solo....rock on with tha pyramid blasta! ;) It's wierd, When I first got the KLF Chill Out, I was expecting acid house stuff, like What Time is Love.. Back in 1991, I never even heard about ambient...it was different, but I could tell it was made with a purpose...and you know what? it all makes sense to me now... ;) btw, anyone know how to distinguish the original SPACE and the bootlegs? I have the 12" version, and I got it way back in the day as well, so I'm not sure if this was a rereleased boot or the real deal. -daniel. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
