Interesting - mind you I did mention "wake up" at work and got instantly ribbed for TD having to rouse its fans from slumber mid-gig.

Interesting fact that

I dont think that sample is saying 'Wake up' at all ? at first I thought it was 'breakdown' ....kind of like a retro house sample or something, or possibly something in German, but it just doesn't sound like wake up to me unless its being shouted by middle class english student girls ..."wayke ep"

Well TD said in several interviews that what the sample said...they should know

No sure I never thought you made it up, I thought it was just comething people had guessed and agreed on. Actually though ...I would like to read one of those interviews if you have a link to hand

Ok the quote comes from:

Electronic Soundmaker & Computer Music, Jan 1985, in article titled:
The Dream House TD were interviewed in their Berlin studio.



Edgar-....When we're working in the studio we'll save sounds and patterns on floppy disks for stage use- sampled sounds for percussion are fixed in EPROMS which we had before the Oberheims and Linns which we now use. Sampled voice sounds can come off the Emulator driven by voltage control; the "Wake Up" sample we use on Logos was made with a Publison unit which we liked, but the company were never able to complete a disk storage unit for it."

Page 28

From memory Edgar used the same Publison sampler for some of the weird sounds on Firestarter

it's like JMJ's Zoolook, some fans think they can hear a sample saying "Love me, love me"....however not one word of English was used on the album, according to an audio interview I have with JMJ
