Anyone?

I have their album 'The Crackdown' on CD and 'Micro-Phonies' on cassette

I love 'Sensoria' 8)

Oh absolutley , they're style is so awsome!

I'm not a big fan of Richard Kirk, but Sensoria and Don't Argue are pretty good.

hey 6400 and Xcess are clubs in Houston, right? I hear about these places a lot!

Anyone?

"Do Right", "Sensoria", and "Don't Argue" were 20 years ahead of their time.

Slip in a little "Doom Zoom", "Here to Go" (go nuts, use the "eleven eleven mix"), and "Sex, Money, Freaks" lest you find yourself... well, you should be aloof enough that I shouldn't have to finish this sentence :)

Does anyone know where the audio samples in "Don't Argue", and "Do Right" came from?

The samples in "Don't Argue" were taken from an Instruction film shown to WWII pilots if they were ever shot down in enemy teritory.

And the samples in "Do Right" are from a documentary Malinder caught while surfing through channels. Go figure.

Yes, 6400 and Xcess were competing dance clubs back in the late 80's.

Thanks for the tip.  I know a few people, and if they're still here and recognize 'em,  I'll follow up.    I couldn't place the voice, but had it pegged as Cold War. I guess some things never change :)

The lyrics are hard to come by, I'm also not in the mood to try and transcribe them myself!

"Don't Argue" made great use of samples from some old anti-communist propaganda film.  The 12" version has more of the sample than the album or 7" version.

The internet asks, inthe00s delivers!

Correction on "Don't Argue" samples --

They're from "Your Job In Germany" (1945)
Directed by Frank Capra
Written by Dr. Seuss
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038264/Your Job In Germany

The "Don't Argue" 12" (EMI/1987) emphasizes additional vocals by veteran disco/soul singers Tessa Nile and Dolette McDonald, and features more samples from the above than the "Code" LP version.

Kinda sounds like Glenn Beck, doesn't it?

Apropos of nothing - and this isn't a sample, but it just occurred to me that "You are in enemy country" (and "one mistake may cost your life") appears in the first 45 seconds of KMFDM's "Take 'em out" (from 2009's Blitz).  The line itself isn't sampled, but is narrated by (presumably) Sascha or En Esch.  (The lines "Everybody here is dangerous" and "It's a dangerous place" sound like they were sampled from a Gulf War II / Iraq War-era interview.)

Projecting back to WW2, we may have a record (albeit one with an asterisk, since the line is read, not sampled) for the longest sample chain evar, at around 65 years.
