Nights Interlude (3:23)

Sampling Quincy Jones’s Summer in the City, this is the first in a series of variations on a theme appearing on Nightmares on Wax albums, followed by Nights Introlude on Smoker’s Delight and ending with Les Nuits on Carboot Soul. While the strings on the first part of the series (this track) were sampled from Jones’s track directly, the “strings” on the second part were played on a synthesizer and those on the third part of the series were played by an actual string orchestra.
