Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
Should be an easy one. Skip to 1.09. I'm certain this is an FSOL sample but I can't recall from the top of my head which track it comes from. Half of me thinks it's Lifeforms era (so I:Cube sampled them), the other half thinks it's Environments era (so they sampled I:Cube). Pretty cool track either way, and the whole Picnic Attack album is very good actually.

At 0:43 - Same notes but different instrument. Guessing maybe a coincidence ?
Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
Was going to say it's very much like Flak - I believe that itself is a sample from a track by Paul Williams & Andrew Grossart though.

Perhaps it's a tribute? Some of the sampling on the I:Cube track sounds very Environments-y, which is out of character with the rest of the album (more French house and Detroit-y stuff).

The original material is sourced from here I think:
album: Atmospheric - Elements/Weather, 1986
about 0:16
about 1:01

Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
sounds like the same exact sample to me (the fsol and i:cube track)
that particular sound i'm not hearing in the thomson/nightingale links......but no doubt i'm hearing other elements of flak
awesome stuff

Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
If I'm not mistaken, the two note phrase is actually two notes cut from Shining Ice (as opposed to the main melody which is sampled straight-up - hence the writing credit in the sleeve!)

Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
How do you use the Youtube tags on this forum, out of interest? I tried pasting the URL between them with no joy. Does it have to be the full embed code?
Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
If you hover over each tag in the Full Editor mode I've written a little help description for each one. For youtube it's just the string of letters and numbers that follows the 'v=' bit of the url. So for example if the full URL is:
you grab this bit:
and put it between the youtube tags, ie.
Resulting in:
Code: Select all

Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
Is there a possibility of a WATMM-style system of automatically embedding YouTube and Soundcloud links in the future?
Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
Possibly, I'll see if I can work it out one day. May require a hefty bit of gubbins to do though (think it's something like regex where it scans the url for certain keywords) - if the board catches on fire then you know I tried something and it ended badly.

While we're in the enhancing-the-board section:
- why do I always have to click on the topic and scroll and scroll until I find the red paper (pictured below) that indicates an un-read post. It's small and annoying not user-friendly.
- I'm sure there's an option (like on most boards I've been) - to have some sort of marker next to each topic with new posts for my user. Like the red arrow pictured below - if I click it takes me directly on the post that are un-read by my user.
-- I know there's a 'view unread posts' button, but it just mixes topics, and I don't like it...

If I wasn't clear, here's a working example,
you see the blue arrow on the picture here:
when I click it - it takes me directly on the picture below, and the post framed in white (and the ones after it) are unread by my user.

Re: Which FSOL track am I thinking of?
That should be doable - just need to add some 'last unread post' code to the topic link text and it should do it's thing. Off to bed though now as 'tis after midnight ...
