OMD and Bladerunner movie connection

Postby red x red » Mon Jun 19, 2006 7:51 am

I notice while listening to the Bladerunner "ultimate" soundtrack (thanks to Blir!) that one of the songs "Turkish" had the same sample as that in the OMD song "Junk Culture". It is prominent with the OMD song and comes in toward the end of the Bladerunner song. Have a listen.

It looks like this sound sample was the "Mexican Radio" sample from the Emulator synth. Here is a reference that I found on the internet:

Just a little trivia I found interesting, and thought some of you might enjoy. [:D].

Cheers!

Maybe the above is common knowledge to OMD fans (see link below), but I found it a new discovery.

Damned interesting Red. I never had any idea. I didn't even know they had sample libraries back then. Thanks!
