Groove is in the Heart - Dee-Lite (though it is sampled from something else - help me out here??)[/quote]
[quote name='Looper' timestamp='1356361540' post='1909518']Just looked it up, the bassline in Groove is in the Heart is sampled from Herbie Hancocks "Bring down the Birds".[/quote]

The track does indeed in part feature Herbie's 'Bring Down the Birds', but is also made up from other samples too... Vernon Burch's 'Get Up' (drum track, also forms the slide whistle breakdown) and the horn riff from Eddie Jefferson's 'Psychedelic Sally'. It is Bootsy Collins on bass and guest vocals and the rap is by Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest.

Safe From Harm- Massive Attack (I believe a sample of Billy Cobham playing bass)

Nearly,it's sampled from the Billy Cobham track 'Stratus' which had Leland Sklar on
Bass.

Good choice, I always prefered the bass tone on the Hawkwind version. I seem to remember another version they did that was identical except for Dave Brock on vocals (which I prefered) though sadly missing that awesome violin solo.

Love Billy's line on Ladies nite in Buffalo. Straight 8ths all the way, great groove with Greg Bissonette.
