you wrote: It seems to be a first in one respect: How many artists sample their own music in any major way? You can hear the piano from 'On' in the background, and apparently the choral voicey bits are from another record. In fact, it's not very 'IDM' at all, really... I write: Well I don't know if this counts but Public Enemy were sampling themsleves back on Fear of a Black Planet...they sampled from their first record...actually I would say none of the sample fiends we all listen to today would be anywhere if it weren't for the groundbreaking ideas committed by PE and the Bomb Squad. All of the PE albums are ace, but check Fear of a Black Planet for some wicked sampling which was way ahead of its' time... peace Nate
