Since it's so important, I'll have to tell you that you're wrong. The
oft-used sample, assuming we're talking about the same one, is from "Think
(About It)" by Lyn Collins, produced and arranged by James Brown. The
"Yeah!" comes halfway between the 2 and 3, and the "Whoo!" comes halfway
between the 4 and following 1.

"Think (About It)" is also the source of the breakbeat heard in a lot of
old rave tunes like Quadrophonia, that T99 stuff, and scads of others. The
one that goes 'bohm, CHA, di-di-di-CHA' with the rather shrill tambs. Also
the source of "It takes two to make a thing go right, it takes two two to
make it outta sight". Also just the tambs by themselves.

nice. Much like the Flow EP and Sun Electric, as expected. Slightly
syrupy, or perhaps "lite", yet engaging from start to finish. Many thanks
