is the beginning of "Stanlow" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark a sample of Faust's "Mamie Is Blue"?

If you are talking about those distant booming sounds, it's a field recording of the Stanlow refinery just outside Liverpool that Andy Mcluskey recorded for the track.

ya mine too (though that could go for most early OMD songs really!)

Nice memories. Organisation was the fourth album I ever bought.

one year passes...

This song is absolutely gorgeous. When the synths at 2:37 come in, and then at 2:57 the next layer of synths, I want to stay in those moments forever.

When I saw them play last at the Roundhouse in London they opened with this and it was so goddamn loud and amazing it almost burst my heart open.
