This is not actually true.... The music at the end of "San Jacinto" is made from a Fairlight sample of Peter Gabriel blowing through a pipe in a junk yard. On the other hand, the music at the beginning of "The Family and The Fishing Net" is taken nearly verbatum from some Ethiopian folk music. > Sorry if it's too general (there is no mention of Kate Bush > anywhere...not even Bushmen), etc. It's not consider polite to call them "Bushmen". "!Kung" is the proper term. "And the talk goes on" Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA) P.S. I'm going to cancel my subscription to OPtion if they don't write anyting about Kate Bush soon! (Actually not, because any magazine that writes about Birdsongs of the Mesozoic can't be all that bad.) Not even a peep about KB in the whole "B" issue! But Peter Gabriel shows up every now and then -- you'd think OPtion could at least say something about his transcendent desciple....

Doug is absolutely right on the Gabriel sampled stuff being on "Das Fischernet" rather than "San Jacinto". Sorry to all you sticklers out there. I'm also sorry you missed the lousy attempt at punditry and KB. Perhaps if I'd said that her fans were all into !Kung fu....... Greg

I've already canceled my subscriptions to Architectural Digest, Datamation, and Bon Appetit due to their lack of Kingsmen coverage! Do you realize, BTW, that it's been nearly *eight years* now since Scientific American last mentioned the Sex Pistols (Dr. Matrix, 12/77)? AWR
