It was "ambient" or "chill-out" house type stuff (sorry, too old to know the true terminology!). Anyway, I emailed the producer of the prog to find out what it was, chased it up on the Internet and promptly ordered it - just received it in the post today....I was right! They've used a sample from the beginning of "South City Midnight Lady" - the first few bars of Pat's guitar playing - and it's not just played in the style, or a cover - it's actually sampled. The CD is "View From the Heights " by Neon Heights and Zed J (released May 2000) and the track in question is "16 Again". If anyone would like to hear what I'm talking about I could send a small clip of it in MP3 format (about 300K max.). Just let me know.Anyway, what I was wondering was, does Pat/the band/the record label see this as flattery or just plain theft? Or maybe permission was asked?Garden variety theft in my book. Anybody able to forward this off to the band?--
