Sample Spotters is a very informative site about samples. I would recommend checking it out because it’s full of fun facts and music.

The dance the dervish does is the same one that Christoper Walken did in the clip for Fatboy Slims' - Weapon of choice music video (hence the music used) What do you think about it?

The main post that caught my attention was about a break I’d heard but never knew the origin of: the ‘Amen Break’ from “Amen Brother” by the Winstons. More than just talking about the sample and it’s use, there’s a YouTube-hosted documentary video all about that break. One very interesting thing about it is how the use of the break solidly mirrors how ideas from Hip-Hop as a whole were filtered into other genres and into the watered-down mainstream culture. Plus, it’s nice when Mantronix and 3rd Bass get name-checked.

This is blatant theft. If you were to get into litegation for this I believe you would be due a substantial return your copyright. I'm sure if you were to contact the MCPS in the UK, here. http://www.mcps.co.uk/ It would be a formality for you to get a return from Zero-G. Good Luck Rob Mr. Spencer,
