I posted a question about this a while ago, referencing the same youtube video. The reason I'm not convinced this is where it was sampled from, is that I had this game back in the day and believe me, the gameplay was not only terrible, but impossibly hard! As far as I know, you have to complete the game to get that laugh sample, and I don't recall there was an SFX test screen on the game menu. This game was so difficult, there were probably only a handful of people in the country who actually had the patience to complete it back in the day. It would be weird that one of those people also happened to be making tunes! Unless there was a cracked version doing the rounds which had a cheat mode, or gave access to the SFX? My suspicion is that it's from a film, but I could be wrong.

What a brilliantly obscure find, nice one Hattrixx! I'll never know how you managed to clock that considering it sounds so different at it's normal pitch/tempo, but it's definitely the one. Has it been established where that other bit which sounds like a snare roll that comes in on the second half of the bar is from? It almost sounds like a shaker of some sort, but when you slow it down it appears to be a snare. It's most obvious at 1:36 of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQWUNNuoaik

The 55 - Ruff In The Comfort Zone Vocal "Comfort zone, when you need to feel loved like you need to be, welcome to the comfort zone, do whatever feels right and turns you on" 0:45 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJDqt-rxmo8

Unbelievable tunage!

This ID is incorrect. The spinback in King Of the Beats is not the one used in We Are I.E. and many other tunes. You can tell because if you reverse them they are clearly from different tracks. Vocals I can make out in the King Of The Beats are something along the lines of 'and it's wack', while the We Are I.E one says 'gonna take you'. Is there a chance We Are I.E. is actually the original source for this? Are there any earlier examples of usage (assuming I'm correct about King Of The Beats being wrong)?

Still looking for the name of this. Also uses the Eric B and Rakim 2nd gen break from Let The Rhythm Hit Em and a familiar rewind sound which is also used in some other tunes as far as i recall (not the King Of The Beats one). Anybody?

Jimmy J and Cru-L-T - Six Days (DJ Brisk Remix) Vocal: "Cuts up on the fader with the hands hip and elbow" 0:22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1Zpu781G1w

Lennie De Ice - We Are I.E. "Let me hear you scream" 2:11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pk9U1jom0U Lots of other hip hop samples in this one too, check em out!

The Prodigy - Crazy Man "Crazy"/Descending whooshing sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lmc05OhgcE

Cool. Is there any chance you could post a youtube clip of Spectator Sport with the Edge of Madness sample? Is it definitely called Spectator Sport? The discogs page lists the track name as Spector Sport.

A quick googling of the lyrics yielded this:

Nah, it's Raydog, he's the member of the group who err, 'steps up' as it were.

Nookie - Shining In Da Darkness "Bloodclot you only have one life to live step up Raydog" 0:07 What's the score with this Reinforced release? Are the labels known to be the wrong around or something? My copy definitely lists the 'R' logo side as the A side in the runout etching, which means that this tune is actually called Gonna Be Alright and not Shining In Da Darkness as everyone seems to call it. Scratch that, just read the discogs entry which says the labels are the wrong way around. Edited.

Rebel MC - Tribal Bass "Shakin the cuts to rock the [whole equator]" 0:48 Also, "get ready for a brainstorm" at 0:28 and "now ya know" at 2:18 have been used in stuff, but I don't know what.

The Prodigy - Charly DJ Phantasy & Gemini - Never Try The Hippodrome Been looking for this one for ages. This is the source of that funky bit of beatboxing/scat. It's from the 1988 album "I'm Real" and features Full Force. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wivgVLRRM1I

Is it not just the Apache break?

Ecology - Vicious House Vocal: "Rockin it to the vicious pace, the vicious house" and some other bits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPgdZdZxmOc

It's only on the 12" single version of 100 Miles And Runnin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWYb7KGAMDU

DJ Seduction - Sub Dub Vocal: "Through bushes and through briars" etc The jury's still out on whether the vocal is orginal to this tune, but it's clearly the sample source for Sub Dub.

I'd read somewhere else that it was the Bumble tune, but could never find it for download or on youtube, so I just check youtube every now and then to see if someone's uploaded it. Thankfully they finally have! Regarding the live acappella thing, I'm not sure. The vocals seem suspiciously well timed to be sampled from something that was performed live. When you hear people do this song live, the timing is usually completely arbitrary because there's no backing track and I imagine it wouldn't fit very well with something that has a locked BPM. Having said that, if it was recorded specifically for this track, you'd think the vocalist would have got a credit on the record label considering it plays such a major part in the tune!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2_HcoMLe4 No idea if this vocal was originally recorded for this tune or nicked from somewhere else, but this is obviously where Seduction took it from.

I can't speak for the Phyzix tune, but the version on 50 Breakbeats is definitely the 2nd gen from Main Source as they programmed an extra kick drum after the open hi-hat.

40 is Main Source - Looking At The Front Door.
