The Musique Concrete guys are a little amusical for my tastes, but I appreciate what they do.

So I typed "steve Reich" into my iTunes to see what comes up - I have a bunch of ambient weirdness from backintheday that I bought in bulk and I don't always know what it is. One song came up:

By damn.

    The song also uses a harmonica sample from Ennio Morricone's The Man With The Harmonica (from the film Once Upon a Time in the West) and parts of Electric Counterpoint, a piece for multitracked guitars composed by Steve Reich and recorded by Pat Metheny. Reich was "genuinely flattered"[8] by The Orb's use of his work and instructed his record company not to sue.
