What a Guys, What a Guy!! Mr. Dick Hyman

I've always loved how people used to sample Dick Hyman for hip hop tracks back in the 90's. There's one Busta Ryhmes song that was based on a sample off the Dick Hyman album "Moog- The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman" the sampled song is called "The Minotaur". Busta's song is "Where We're About To Take It".

Anyways he's got a ton of spaceage bachelor type tunes & totally has the swave jazz guy thing down as well. One of my peeps had the balls to spin "The Minotaur" out one nite at the RockStar Bar & my jaw dropped because i've never hear anyone dj any of his stuff out. Another on of my favorites is "The Liquidators", which in my mind is the perfect opening credit song in any Euro-Mod film.
