Give us your favourite track featuring a great sample - could be a musical refrain, a vocal grab, movie dialogue - you know the score. Here’s the tune that inspired the thread to get things rolling - a recent drum and bass 12" from Damian’s Ghost I purchased which uses the Cocteau Twins very nicely.

This one was the first to come to mind, think it was taken from a film but can’t remember which.

Orbital vs an easy listening record = chime. This sort of blew my mind a little bit. 3:30 onwards is where the magic happens… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/IarvOoL6_ak/maxresdefault.jpg "How Orbital actually made 'Chime'") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IarvOoL6_ak) ---

Photek is 100% in the top echelons of electronic music producers to come out of the UK. ---

before i go on a rabbit hole aka my entire itunes library + youtube playlists, here is the first one that came to mind : Coil sampling Robert Johnson’s Steady Rollin Man (1937) on this masterpiece : [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/lZctB6bOjDQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Coil - Theme from Gay Man's Guide to Safer Sex") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZctB6bOjDQ) ---

Rather than being my favourite track with a sample, this is just one of 188 songs (according to whosampled) that use my favourite sample - the drum loop from [Schoolly D’s “P.S.K. ‘What Does It Mean’?”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1mn9m_1h5U) Pretty much any record with this beat has me pretending I’m 19 again.
