ID Required (no track sample) from around 1991-1992-ish?

[Steve Found]

Hi guys

Just a very quick ID request if anyone can help: I'm trying to find an old dark hardcore track from approx 1991-1992 that has a spoken sample that goes "Only the truly wise ones can conquer the power of darkness". It is such a beast of a tune and I've never heard it before or since. I've tried to do a search with that line, but I can't find anything (outside of some old jungle track, which definitely isn't it).

I know there are some SERIOUS peeps in the know on this fine forum, so if anyone has any idea what this might be? Please let me know!

Cheers and thanks in advance

Peace out

Probably too new but worth a shot:

If not, there are others that used the sample here: https://www.whosampled.com/Hashim/Pr...-Path/sampled/

Hey gregee123

That's not it, I'm afraid, although not a bad tune though, so cheers for the headz up!

The first track has that same vocal sample....but it's not the tune I'm after!

It's definitely not a jungle tune at all, more like a 'staccato' style beat, quite heavy, and def from around 1991-1992, as the tape I had it on, was from around that time.

Thanks for the suggestions though

What a great site that is, thank you for the headz up!

NONE of those tunes are the one, but the Turntable Overload track has that exact voice sample; not sped up or altered, so at least I/we know we're on the right track.

Why this tune is such a bastad to try and find is beyond me?! Maybe it just wasn't that popular, as I've never heard it before or since on numerous hardcore mixes? Hard to fathom why, it's a crackin' choon.....

Neither of those, I'm afraid, but thank you for the effort!

Definitely not that one I'm afraid, but thank you kindly

I just wanted to thank the kind folks who offered their suggestions as to what that track might be, but alas, no luck so far!

We've managed to ascertain now that the spoken sample is DEFINITELY correct (particularly on the Turntable Overload track). But the tune I'm after kinda sounds a bit like 'Mentasm' in style (if that makes any sense?) but a bit pacier. It's DEFINITELY not any kind of jungle or breakbeat track in the strictest sense.

It has a similar vibe to this great track: Leo Anibaldi - Ice man (but a bit slower BPM):



I'll keep my eyes peeled on this fine forum, just in case anyone cracks the case!

I'm STILL overjoyed to this day that one of you absolute legends on here, managed to ID a tune I'd been after for the last THIRTY YEARS! (Edge - Wt Th Fk)

SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another absolute LEGEND steps up to help their fellow music-heads!

As soon as I heard that intro, I thought "Hang about..." and then as soon as the beat kicked in, I was all but whooping (more coughing as I'm currently ill)!

I'll leave the YouTube link for whatever kind soul uploaded that if anyone wants to take a listen. It still slaps and I'm sure one or two of you can see why I said that it has a sort of 'Mentasm' vibe to it, with a 'similar' style beat to that 'Ice Man' track (but slower):



Thanks again, brady

Y'all have a good one this weekend, now

[brady]

glad I could help you out
