Now, as we begin tracking face-to-face samples, I'm going to tease something up front.

There's something every one of them has in common.

I'll reveal what that is at the end, but see if you can figure it out before I do.

Alright, so let's start with the song's backbone, the drum loop, which is created from a sample of Herbie Band's 1979 song, Just Go Daz.

They take just two beats from this passage and pitch them down.

This becomes layered beneath an original drum beat created on the Linn drum machine, getting this final result.

This rhythm section is fleshed out with a guitar part that's pulled from Electric Light Orchestra's 1975 track Evil Woman.

The guitar crunches are spliced up to create this pattern.

And now let's hear this sequence over the drums.

This foundational guitar part is layered with another, this time made from fragments pulled from Firefall's 1982 track Body and Soul.

Individual plucks are sliced out and retuned to create this sequence.

There's also a tiny but important guitar sample taken from this passage of Cary Lucas's 1979 song Sometimes a Love Goes Wrong.

From this they slice out just this pitch down fragment.

Now let's hear these guitars with the drums, first on their own, then combined with the main guitar part.

I mean, come on, how cool does this sound already?

Now, the gaps between the guitars are filled with a variety of samples, the first of which sounds like this.

This is created by four total samples.

The first is from the Alan Parsons Project's 1982 song, Silence and I. Here they chop out and pitch up this splice.

This is joined with a sample from the Doobie Brothers 1974 song, It Keeps You Running.

From this, they slice out this fragment.
