That track really reminds me of some of the Widdler with the water drop sounds, odd hits and weird stretching noises.

there are probably more people in the world that understand the lyrics than don't.

... ridiculous statement right here. You must mean something that doesn't follow the plebeian boring western tonality?

I always find it funny when people say, "where can I get cool samples?"
Hunt motherfucker, hunt for em!!!
A good, oldschool record store will have an inordinate amount of rare finds......
Old Asian records...dare I say ebay....
I bought some old asian records off ebay that were very obscure...sample n' cut, put in the time....and you most likely will get results....If you have an idea, try to find something that best mimics that idea, it doesn't have to be
I seem to think finding stuff not in zero-g's catalog is more cost effective, less people have it and less people will know where exactly you got it and barley no one will know what it is.....Dj Shadow style.
Most times hard work with sample hunting pays off. Most of the time trying to mix up zero-g's store bought vocal samples never really gets you where you want to go....or at least that's what I've found....
So you can spend money on store bought samples (zero g for this conversation) or go out and hunt for them.....You can either work on trying to sound as unique as possible or sound like just another guy who bought zero g's shit.. (no offense to zero g he's pretty dope.)
You decide.

rediculous statement right here. I had to look up half these words in the dictionary.
