Giorgio Moroder & Donna Summer on King of Snake

What did they had to do with it? I presume UW sampled them? If that's the case, which track? I'm always searchin' for the original tracks of certain samples. So who knows?

the bassline in King of Snake was taken from Donna Summer's I feel Love, produced by Moroder. It's not sampled really, but it uses the same notes.

Just 'I Feel Love'? Never recognized any of it...

Listening to both right now, I hear it a little bit, but much faster in King of Snake!

tnx

"I Feel Love" by Donna Summer (1977).

The backing track was written by Giorgio Moroder and was, as far as I recall (and I am old enough!

) the very first pop song to use nothing other than a synthesiser as a backing track. Bearing in mind that this was at the very beginning of the disco era, it was quite something!

Edit: Damn, KoS, you beat me to it... but then you would!

The 'I feel love'-track is great. I especially love the 'Patrick Cowley Mega Mix'. It's so amazing the way he stretched it out to a 16min. track!!!

The only sound not made by the synthesizer is the bass drum.

I saw the Blue Man Group playing 'I Feel Love' on some late night show once and at first I thought it was King of Snake.

I mean, a drumcomputer is out of the question, since programmable drumcomputers didn't exist in those days (I think). I have the remix on record, but haven't listened to it in years (due to the fact that I don't have a recordplayer at this moment). But I can imagine that the basskick is provided by a synth and the handclap by a claptrap. Maybe google can help me.
