i forgot that many years ago the shamen's "move any mountain" cd single
had all the different unmixed samples from that song as separate tracks on
the disc.  i was too young then to be able to buy a sampler (and ram was
$50 per megabyte!), and computers weren't used for much more than midi
sequencers.  someone stole that disc before i could do anything with it, 
and i never saw it anywhere again.  reminds me of the time my friend and i 
remixed smothered hope with cool edit - every little change we made took 5 
to 10 minutes, and we went outside everytime to smoke.

not caring about the albums).
