Samples
[edit]Several of the dialogue samples used on Satyricon come from the 1974 John Carpenter film Dark Star, specifically:
- "Drop" samples the scene in which Bomb #20 refuses to detach from the bomb bay doors.
- "Track 15" includes a clip from the end of the film when Talby enters the Phoenix asteroid cluster, saying, "I'm beginning to glow."
- "Original Control (Version 2)" has a sample from the dinner discussion between Pinback and Doolittle: "Do you think we'll ever find any intelligent life out there?" ... "Who cares?"
Other samples found on the album include:
- "We have come to visit you in peace and with goodwill", from the film The Day the Earth Stood Still, in "Potsounds" and "Mindstream".
- "He must answers questions that cannot yet be...", from the film The Illustrated Man, in "Placebo".
- Interview samples from the Monkees' film Head and the James Toback documentary The Big Bang, in "Your Mind Belongs to the State".
- "I am Elektro", a sample from Elektro the robot, first seen at the 1939 New York World's Fair, in "Original Control (Version 2)".
- "Brainwashed This Way/Zombie/That Shirt" contains dialog from David Cronenberg's 1983 movie Videodrome.
