    Stellar post, Haldan. I try my hand at posting some original songs @ Souled On, but you and Scheme have made it an art.

    Hope you’re well.

    Great selection one again guys. sample wednesday is the shit.

    As suggestion, MF Doom would be a great choice for a future SW.

    Anyway, keep up the good work!…

    The flute sample that comes in about halfway through “The Proxy” comes from the song “Taurus” by Spirit. This song is also where Stairway to Heaven originated. Oh yes, everyone’s favorite rock ballad is actually an adaptation of this song.
