YMO in XZR...

[SavagePencil]

I decided to give the Exile ("XZR") soundtrack a listen today and something struck me as odd.  I knew I'd heard a little ditty, a little staccato sample, somewhere but it took me a little bit to ID it.

It's right around 5:10 in this soundtrack:  https://youtu.be/6C3aCdvD8s8?t=308

It's the exact same sound from Yellow Magic Orchestra ("YMO")'s first album, at the end of Tong Poo as the song transitions into La Femme Chinoise:  https://youtu.be/Uy5XPdyhzfw?t=1463

I'd love to turn this into a "turbo homages" thread actually - for example Jim Power biting off Ys III:

I'm sure there are others out there!!

We've got two or three threads about this stuff.

There is more than that, comrade.

Exile XZR samples/recreates classic KRAFTWERK, too.

It's been 10-15 years, but I had an old abandoned project (I never uploaded it to the web) where I compared the 1-2 of the XZR tracks to the Kraftwerk.

Anyway, I had other comparisons, too.

Yeah, as I got later in the soundtrack I definitely heard the rhythmic ascending scales of the 'werk krew.

Does it warrant a sticky that acts as an index?  A sticky index?  A stindex?

Ok, now you NEED to do a comparison(granted you have the time), the beginning of this sounds just a tad familiar!  Man, never knew about this stuff!

^ I don't have good phone service right now, but PCE XZR has the sample that goes something like....

"Light, light see the light"

...but it is probably German for the number that follow eins, zweii, drei...
