  My friend told me he calls this track &quot;Crystal&quot; because xtal could be written the same way as &quot;xmas&quot; for christmas and that enlightened me

  It&apos;s a person singing the Star Wars theme over a basic chord progression. Richard gave it life.

  If that&apos;s considered morally wrong then The Avalanches is wanted in 216 countries and are going to experience eternal damnation

  The foundation of the track is that chord progression, which wasn&apos;t even in the original sample. So yeah it&apos;s obviously heavily relying on the sample but Steve saying that it is basically the same track is just nonsense.

  Apart from the fact he was likely a teenager at the time, that&apos;s basically how samples were used at that time. It was only after a few high profile rap artist were sued it became more of an issue and people started trying to hide the source of the samples. The 80s were different.
