I'm the same boy I used to be

I just heard a sample of Eric Prydz's new single "Proper Education," which follows closely and does a lot of sampling from Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In the Wall (part 2)". It twists the driven, militant cynicism of the original song into an easily-accessible up-tempo club anthem, but it does a right good job of it. Besides, sometimes I like up-tempo club anthems. ( :

This is another good mark in my book for Eric Prydz, who's previous work includes the powerful "Call on Me," which samples Steve Winwood's classic hit "Valerie" (actually, the story goes that when Prydz first did this song he used a recorded sample but when Winwood heard the piece he was so impressed with the work Prydz had done that he offered to collaborate with Prydz and rerecord his vocals from "Valerie" for "Call on Me").

I wonder how much the single costs?...

PLUR!
