Fun with samples on my entry for the MeFi Music Album Challenge.

"Jesus Christ Superstar, Blood Money? Really?!"
-me, kind of sad that I could recognise the guitar lick so immediately
Excellent. Truly excellent, all the way through. I have nothing else to contribute, at this juncture, save a favourite.

When I was a teenager I listened (and brooded) heavily to both Karma Police and Hooverphonic's 2wicky. Now I can sort of listen to them both at the same time and save time for playing Legos, thank you sir. Very nicely done.

I also had that Hooverphonic record, which is where I first heard that "Walk On By" sample. I felt a little lazy using it here, like its "been done," but its so good.

Hahah, I love when YouTubers say that ("no copyright intended.") Also, I love your cover! Really interesting take on the song. It's almost dance-worthy, which is kind of a surprising turn. Love the outro, too.

modernserf, you have turned the Walk On By sample into a thing of beauty. It's like you turned it into a real team player as opposed to the diva star forward.

Yeah, this is really excellent. The backing vocals, the rhythmic change-up once it gets to the "I lost myself coda"? Very inspired.
