When I said "The 90's are the new 80's" it was tongue in cheeck to suggest that whilst I new it sounds both cheesy and unoriginal (One of the reasons why I opted for a Jam and Spoon sample) it was a mocking way of saying it's ahead of it's time but not... if you get what I mean. Secondly... Whilst I know there is no bad intent with your comment you are severly wrong, so don't worry... don't want to turn this into a flame war but I feel I must answer. Are you really telling me that Dance music in the 80's wasn't sample driven? Where you even there? Dance music almost came to be because of the sampler or hold up lets have a think, ah yes, the DJ who used to drop the breaks of records, kind of like sampling but more skill involved. You must have heard lines like... Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Nineteen... House House House House Nation... Woooo.... Yeah..... Woooo..... Yeah.... (Sampled from Lynn Thomas the female preacher, Think - From the second James Brown's Funky People album). Used by tons of copy cats. Let us not forget that the 90's gave us some amazing trance tracks. Cafe Del Mar - Energy 52 Gouryella (Ferry Corsten made some of his finest tracks in the 90's) Push actually wrote strange world in the 90's The list goes on. It was also a fabulous time to be a DJ and to be honest, these days the enthusiasm in dance music has gone. The crowds don't have the same full on hedonistic outlook and by comparison it's dull these days. Trance has disapeared up it's own arse for the time being and the clubbers are bored. The 90's also gave us the Prodigy, various Breaks artists (Although a lot of their music is based on 80's Electo, or samples of it (Which in turn was based on samples too). Massive Attack are heavily based on samples although they are masters of making it sound natural. The reality is that the 80's could be held responsible for poor/over use of the sample and it wasn't till the 90's that we grew up a little. When I write my music I always have intent. And with this project it was just a question of seeing if I could rather than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I still love trance, still love DJing, I didn't get offended by your post but I did feel I had to answer. No bad blood I hope. Cheers Nem

not bad for a bit of fun.. i can hear the late 80's influence in there.

Different terms for sample... a. Sample based synthesis b. Sampled songs/vox Just a mix of terms no big deal. ps. I understand that you were making this song for a new change and im sorry if i was a bit harsh at all take care Ian Buzz

Seriously dude,

No biggies, you werent actually harsh at all. I just felt lonely and needed to rant about nothing he he.

Cheers
