Inspired by the quizz chez Dr Dave, and using the same excellent plugin by Martin Laine, I’ve put together a little test of your musical knowledge. The goal is to identify the original tracks below as well as the song & artist that sampled it. To avoid duplications and to allow everyone a fair crack, send your answers to ria[dot]bacon[at]gmail.com. Deadline: 29 September 2006.
