I'd like to correct my post of yesterday (please ignore it). The beginning
he mentions is from SHADOW's (yes that Shadow) "Basic Megamix" which
includes parts of Rick Rubin's remix of "We Will Rock You" and Raw Fusion's
B-Boy Mix of "Another Bites The Dust" as well as other Hollywood Basic acts
(the first I heard of Shadow was his remixing of Lifer's Group). If
"Another One Bite's The Dust" did dominate then it probably was Shadow's
beginning with a good chunk of Raw Fusion's crazy remix. These are from 91
or 92 and are not impossible to find in the US bargain bins.

Ethereally,
