I just remembered a track I used to like around ten years ago - god knows who it was by, but it got played a lot on pirate radio around London in 1991/92. It featured the chords from E2-E4 (although with a subtle gate effect on them), the vocal and bassline from Final Cut's "Take Me Away", and a particular classic breakbeat whose name I forget! I didn't know of either E2-E4 or Take Me Away at that point, so when I did eventually discover those two records I had a smile on my face. But to this day I'd love to find that old hardcore track with the samples; and I always find myself imagining the chords from E2-E4 whenever I hear the acapella of "Take Me Away"...
