That's actually a bass guitar sample (pretty tricky line to play, too!) and
a 2-bar 102 bpm drum loop from somewhere (I have it on one of my sampler
disks, great loop BTW).
When I bought my 'Polydistortion' CD (when it first came out), it was a
limited edition release that had a *second* CD included that had various
remixes of some of the tunes.
they were okay, I just preferred the originals.
