Can someone put me out of my misery (not in that way). Did Bill use this voice sample on one of his tracks? I was listening to 'Like Drawing Blood' by Gotye today and he uses the same cut-up on a track called 'Coming Back'. I could have sworn I'd heard it before. Coincidence?..or is Gotye a Bill Nelson fan?.. :wink:

If I'm mistaken and Bill hasn't used that cut-up then disregard everything I just said :lol:

Yes, I have sampled that voice...quite a long time ago now...I think it was on 'Manipulating The Phonograph' (or a track very much like it.)

I knew it! Quite a coincidence then. Or maybe Gotye really is an admirer :wink:

Have you ever seen Bill & Gotye in the same room at the same time?

Not being familiar with the name, I Googled 'Gotye' and discovered that he was born in 1980. Which means he wasn't even incarnated when I embarked on my Red Noise adventure, let alone Be Bop Deluxe... :shock:

Which leads me to suspect he's totally unaware of my current music or my history.

So, unless my time machine, built from an old 1950s fridge, a wind-up record player, and a multitude of left-over Airfix-kit parts actually works...I suspect he's as ignorant of me as I am of him. :lol:

I always wondered why I always had spare bits after building my Airfix kits. Now where is that old fridge.......
