    "Here in the Twilight..."

    Ok, at the end of Manhattan Transfer's "Twilight Zone", the vocalist repeats "here in the twilight" to fade for a minute or so...
    Well, this part of the track was sampled some years ago by a house group, and my club's deejay has always refused to tell me which group it was. :evil: The remix is of the cut'n paste genre, but very free flowing, not syncopated like, say, a DJ Sneak production. It sounds more like Gene Farris. It pretty much isolates the ending of the original, pitches it slightly & extends it on a 5 minute loop. Can anybody help me ?

    There was a not bad Masters At Work tune about 5 years ago which sampled 'Twilight Zone'. I can't remember what it was called, maybe 'Twilight'. If I'm correct also, it uses the 'descending missile'-type sound snippet from The Clash's 'Mustapha Dance' in the intro. I think they're (MAW) very overrated but I liked this one quite a lot.

    Thank you so much ! :P I've been searching this track for sooooo long that it will be worth it examining MAW's entire discography (if I ever can find a complete one :o ) to find a title that could fit the bill (I too hope they had the decent idea to call it "Twilight", otherwise, I'm in deep s... :-?)

    Thanx again 4 the tip, and yes, if it's MAW, this will be their first title that I really like....

    addendum : after some google searching, I found this excellent MAW unofficial site http://mawrecords.free.fr, which lists the track as Freestyle Orchestra "Twi-lite". Now, to find it...

    I've found it the very evening of the post on Soulseek (an invaluable resource for house lovers). Ah, the memories! :D Much better than the original (I hope disco purists are not listening :oops: )
