4a1) Can "Vitamin C" Ege Bamyasi (1972)
4a2) 24-Carat Black "24-Carat Black (Theme)" Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth (1973)
4a3) In a bit of a who made who mystery, this is a stunning coincidence. It is unlikely that Can made it to Dale Warren's turntable as he was putting together Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth. Was anyone outside of Europe listening to Ege Bamyasi in 1973? Even in the 70's, I would assume there was a crew of global heads that had knowledge, access, and the wherewithal to grab up the oddities coming out of Germany, and Europe at large.
I don't know that anyone would know the "true" story. But the similarities between the two songs are enough that it would be an odd coincidence if both groups stumbled across a similar rhythm, and then built a song out of it. That is, unless there was something in the ether of a more nascent form.
4a4) DJ Food's loop of 24-Carat Black pointed me to the similarities when I mistook it for a Can sample.
4aWTF?) Just in case someone needs a copyright defense.
