Songs Underworld have sampled

[Milking Your Plastic]

Hi all,

I'm interested to know what songs Underworld have sampled. The only one I know of is Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" in King Of Snake. Can anyone add to this?

Hmm, this will be quite difficult to find even one more. I'm not aware of any other songs sampled -- I'm not even entirely sure they sampled I Feel Love as much as recreated the exact sound.

Well they sampled some widely-available jungle breakbeat on Pearl's Girl, don't know what it is but you can hear it as well.

king of snake IMO isn't anywhere near a sample of I Feel Love. slightly similar, that's all.

they credit it in the BF booklet tho. which is why i always thought they just recreated the loop and wanted to give homage.

I may be thinking of a completely different artist and song, but I thought I had read / heard that Summer / Moroder / Bellotte were given song credits to King of Snake to avoid a potential lawsuit?

The song doesn't use any samples, but just sounds pretty similar, and everyone can see the resemblance.

I remember them saying that in an interview in the past too.

That's the break from Lyn Collins Think (About It)

James Brown was the producer, the JBs were the band, so the drummer would have been Jabo Starks.

Doll's Polyphony from the Akira soundtrack is sampled on Dirty.
