i'm fairly certain that the rifle bolt percussion in "army dreamers"
was in fact sampled on the fairlight -- the sound is identical each time.

there are, in fact, sound effect libraries compatible with the
fairlight, full of gunshots, tire screeches, etc.  one of
these may have been the source of the sample -- but we know that
the breaking glass at the end of "babooshka" was sampled by
KaTe and Krew...

IMHO, the production, music, and lyrics of "army dreamer" are 
extraodinary -- equal to anything on the next two albums...


footah!
