Anyone want to check out the following possibility and report back?

Have you ever noticed that there is a vocal snippet (probably sampled) in the song `...And this is what the Devil does!' (on the LP `I see Good Spirits and I see Bad Spirits') by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult which sounds an awful lot like Kate Bush? A sort of `eaaaaayyyaahhh' sorta thang ... Enquiring minds want to know ... - Greg

The `eaaaaayyyaahhh' in question sounds very little like Our Lady Of The Screechy Vocals, to be perfectly honest. Maybe a tad like the screams at the end of "Get Out Of My House" if lifted out of context and put through an echo effect, but I have listened to GOOMH more times than I care to enumerate and those screams are embedded in my consciousness, so I'd know if they were being used. The only Kate sample of which I'm aware of is the opening drums of Danielle Dax's "Hammerheads" (and they're sped up there anyway...) Oh, I guess the live version of Running Up That Hill at the Katemas party could count too, since I sampled the vocal loop and the drum riff... For anyone interested in checking out the Thrill Kill Kult matter further, the scream in question is found at 1:01 among other places. +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ----------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | "I like George Bush, but this `kinder, | | \|on |/rukman | jsd@umass.bitnet | gentler' crap is killing us." - D.Trump | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
