    You're not insane-- here's the description of it from tRC
    Distribution, where I work:

    UNITED EYE -- Big Cheif [sic] (UE003-12I 12")
       The long awaited 2nd release from DJ Paul Murphy's big band project
    United Eye featuring a cunningly utilized piano sample from the
    legendary Professor Longhair and a host of New Orleans session
    musicians, "Big Chief" is one of the most original releases we've
    heard in quite some time. Over on the flip is "Sambana", a percussive
    Berimbau led cut that will have floors from Benin to Bavaria shaking
    like crazy before bamboozling the dancers with a shift from 125 to
    135 bpm halfway through!

    I think you can still get it through their retail site
    (http://www.musicesp.com), but sorry, no sound samples available.

    Been meaning to fix the misspelling, but it would just be a drop in
    the bucket for *that* database--
