Yeah this specific track is blocked on spotify here, too.

But unfortunately it seems that the track isn't online anywhere else :/

DJ Anubis said on Thursday, 21 February 2013:
Why is it unfair? No Spotify in your country? or this track blocked for you too?

bayantheone said on Thursday, 21 February 2013:
ban Spotify from Whosampled, it's unfair

DJ Anubis said on Thursday, 21 February 2013:
Ah ok thanks! I thought fatal meant it ended in death. That sentence confused me :) I should go back to not listening to lyrics! :D

Can anyone explain what the "fatal accident" is that's referred to at 1:09?

DJ Anubis said on Friday, 07 December 2012:
Apart from all the technical discussion, all I want to add is: this track is awesome in so many ways

Chris Read said on Thursday, 15 November 2012:
Yes, I think that would be clear to most people as you suggest. What I was trying to say though was that the sample of the word 'Dreams' which appears at around 0:10 in the Game track is (I think) taken from around 1:05 in the Butler track and chopped over the top of the loop taken from 1:17. It's all getting a bit technical - happy with the timings you have proposed.

DJ Anubis said on Thursday, 15 November 2012:
Ah I didn't check timing again on the Butler track (it might be off, as I check Grooveshark), I wanted to give two timings (one for vocal, one for the piano) but I hear now they are actually right behind each other. They're just chopped up on the left. So yeah on the left should have 0:06 for the vocal and 0:18 for the music, right just 1:17ish. I'll leave it up to you :) It's all just details really hehe

Chris Read said on Thursday, 15 November 2012:
Slight slip up there but not quite sure we're in agreement. Think this is correct now: The 'Dreams' vocal which starts in the background at 0:10 is (I think) a chop of the sections at 1:05 and around 1:17 in the Butler track. The longer vocal section which starts at 0:17 in the Game starts from 1:17 in the Butler track.

DJ Anubis said on Thursday, 15 November 2012:
Hehe, added them the wrong way around ^^ Also it's already at 0:17 in Game's track, not 1:05. All is fixed :)

Chris Read said on Thursday, 15 November 2012:
Yes, you're right. The timings and classification have been updated.

DJ Anubis said on Tuesday, 13 November 2012:
Oh yes, only regional. It doesn't even look like it, just when I click it. Thanks Stationary, hadn't checked out GS since we don't use it anymore. Appreciate it! Shouldn't this be sample of whole track. The music during the bridge (1:05) in Game's track and 0:38 (bass & horns?) in Butler's track.

Chris Read said on Tuesday, 13 November 2012:
It's working here. It may be subject to a regional block. If anyone has an approved but more universally available link, feel free to send to the support team and we can update.

It's on Grooveshark.

DJ Anubis said on Monday, 12 November 2012:
Why is this blocked, I wanna hear the original :(
