For those who don't recall, Thomas was one of the producers of the album "Dog Eat Dog" from which this track came. Dave Morey, the DJ, said this song was an example of a "turntable hit" which he explained as "a song the disk jockeys just loved but everyone else hated." Well, I must be part DJ, because I (have always) liked it, and thought it was a cool example of early digital sampling. Thomas' Fairlight saw plenty of good use back then!

I don't think they even mentioned the album though they mentioned most of the others. I was bummed about that. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-alloy@smoe.org [mailto:owner-alloy@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Brian Clayton Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 10:56 PM To: alloy@smoe.org Subject: Alloy: Dolby/Mitchell flashback KFOG's "Ten at Ten" show this morning featured songs from 1986, and the last song in the set was Joni Mitchell's "Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)."
