Click to read the story behind the creation of
Africa Bambaataa's classic "Planet Rock", as told by Richard Buskin @ Sound on Sound.
It's an interesting story, and it sheds some new light (for me, at least) on the parts borrowed from Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express" and "Numbers" - still often mistaken for samples but in reality recreations executed by some pay-by-the-hour
drum machine owner named Joe.
