I don't need to know Squarepusher, it's enough that I'm
sampled on one of his tunes!

I say Terrance, isn't it great to be sampled on the Big
Loada EP? How do you suppose that came aboot?

So how did it come about you were sampled?

Well that's something I'd sort of like to know too...I've
narrowed it down to two possibilities, neither of which I
like that much, so I've never felt the urge to press the
matter...until now I've always preferred knowing but not
knowing why...now however, I'm starting to think I'd like to
know...it's getting on for 20 years later, after all...

blimmie Merg what is the source of this sample? a private
tape or a song you released or something else?

Does squarepusher know Merg?

Private tape...so, erm, yeah, either Squarepusher knows me
(and we DON'T know he's Squarepusher), or he lifted the
sample from a tape sent in to Warp by someone who knows
me...I've been trying to apply Occam's Razor to this for a
while, but I'm not sure what solution it would suggest...
:-/

"or he lifted the
sample from a tape sent in to Warp by someone who knows
me"

So the sample exists on a song you wrote, sent to warp?
likely the source of this sample. why not ask warp?

unusual though. unless squarepusher likes your music and
sampled you not thinking to give you a mench on the cd.

Did he alter the sample or is that how you effected it?

I was sampled by a musician mate of mine, so either he's
under the deepest possible cover imaginable, and IS SP, with
TJ being a front, or, EVEN more depressingly, he sent in
some stuff with that sample on to Warp and SP / TJ (always
assuming that's the same entity!) somehow heard it and
lifted it, which I find about as implausible...

As you can tell, my voice has been speeded up somewhat (I
don't sound like that, honest!), and I was giving praise for
a choon he'd just done: the slight stutter you can hear is
me rapidly rethinking my reference (and how I know it's me),
as I was gonna praise it a bit more by saying "sounds like
Aphex" or sumink similar, but realised I couldn't go quite
that far and dialled it down a notch...

I COULD ask Warp I s'pose, and I guess that's the only way
to know for sure...of course Occam's Razor would probably
suggest the latter of these two options is correct, and I
wouldn't confirm that unless I asked Warp, but, hmmm, ah I
dunno, maybe I still don't wanna know...of course my mate
might not like it if the second option's true either... :-/

There's other, interesting, related info in the oddity known
as my tiny mind also, but I'll leave it there for now...!

i think you actually deserve some []pusher t-shirts and
other special treats..

and me too. oh wait i got a pineapple ; )

when did you find this out anyway?

i think your friend needs to be questioned. is he an on-line
buddy ? if so, maybe he is TJ as you say, or knows TJ and/or
TJ Hooker... which maybe not be relevant.

well its exciting to be on his cd anyway thats mental.
You've been played live around the world and in millions of
bedrooms and studios n cars and planes and trains and radio
waves, your radio signals are out in space along with TJ and
captain kirk too, of course....blimmie. : O your an alien
signal out there somewhere on an awesome track, with that
funny voice. haha

Well I might ask my mate, but then if it turns out he knows
nowt about it (more than likely) then I'd be essentially
revealing that he sent a tape into Warp, they didn't like
it, and one of their star turns happened to lift a sample
off it...you can see my dilemma here...

Oh and of course the flip side to your tale of electronica

immortalised in the video...as a dog... :-/ Still, one takes
whatever immortality one can fine these days...

anything comes of it...
