I have that movie too, but I knew the sample source before I saw it. I still expect the track to keep going though instead of the tape ending.

If memory serves me, I remember him last summer at Summercase saying to the crowd that we wouldn't listen to his samples anywhere else because he made them all himself. Not so sure he was also referring to the vocal samples, though.

hmm...
I'd say you either sort of misheard him - or he was referring to his most recent album

although - come to think of it... there are at least two songs that are based off of samples on "The Outsider"

maybe he was just talking about the scarcity of the source elements of the tracks. Like, a lot of the sampled songs are fuckoff rare - or in the case of "This Time" ... if memory serves me, was from a solitary recording (as in, no one else has the record/acetate save him)

like, the original guy who's sang the song just did it in one of those waaay old 'recording booths' back in the day, and there was only one pressing

(edit)
and I also had one of those sort of 'deja vu' experiences as well w/ Shadow
the transmission after "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Pt 1)" - there's a vocal bit that goes "It's happening again... It's happening... again" is from the Second Season of Twin Peaks
