Jeff Mills - Changes of life, I'm sure the hook on this is from Richie Havens version of going back to my roots.

Be nice if anyone can confirm this as it's what I've always thought.

Anyone else got Jeff Mills? I played it last night and I'm convinced that half of the riff is the first two piano stabs from Richie's Roots! Anyone else offering an opinion?

Just a couple off the top of my head
"Hello San Francisco" Dance 2 Trance- "Crime of the century"-Supertramp
"Mr Kirk's Nightmare" 4 Hero-Synth sound pilfered from Extra T-ET's Boogie (Beats from Get into something-Isley Brothers fact fans)
"Searchin'"-33 1/3 Queen-"Blow Your House Down"-A Guy Called Gerald

I've thought of a few more sampled records, although some aren't strictly speaking, piano lines.
1. AST/Art Science Technology-Stranglers/Something better change
2. Orange Lemon/Dreams of Santa Anna-Babe Ruth-The Mexican
3.Infiltrate 202/Altern8-Electric Dance/Jungle Crew
4. without Meaning/DJc Feat Sanza-Spank/Jimmy Bo Horne
5.Pako/Pakito Lindo-Stand by Me/Julian Jumping Perez
6.Flash/Fix (tune!)-Hydraulic Pump/P-funk all-stars
7.Talkin with myself/Electribe 101/Jealousy & Lies-julian Jonah
8.What's happened/Yankees (huge Kaos tune!!)-Let's start The Dance/hamiliton Bohannon
9.Sueno Lation/Sueno Latino (+ a million others)/ E2-E4/manuel Gottsching
10.peace/Dirty trick-Dirty cash/Stevie V & Sound Factory/Cuban gigolo
11.Hack One/hackattack-Superbad/James Brown & Beatie Boys/Hold It...
12. Keep on jammin (rx)/Secchi-Welcome Home/CFM Bank & Chic Cheer/Chic
13.c-Concept/why Naked-Blue Pearl/Naked in the rain (the "1,2" is from Why did you do it/Stretch)
14. definition of sound/Wear your love-Hombres/Let it all hang out
15. 2 Puerto Ricans etc/Do it properly-Machine/There but for the grace
16. paradox/jailbreak-Strings/Rhythm is rhythm
17.MBV/ Soon or Glider (weatherall mix)/Westbam/ Alarm clock
Furthermore;
A.Jibaro/Electra samples the bassline from Max Berlin's Elle et Moi but I've never heard Elkin & Nelson's version so cannot comment on that.
B. Floorfiller-My name is house (b-side of Rub it in) samples a "The The" tune whuich escapes me (possibly Sweet Bird of Truth)
C. Both orbital/belfast and beloved/Sun rising sample a song but again I cannot remember-any ideas
Phew, erm that's it for me......

'Atomico Herbie - Atomic House' replays the piano riff from the start of 'Bionic Boogie - Risky Changes' :thumbsup:

'Greed - Love' replays the piano from 'Donald Byrd - Love Has Come Around.'

'Victor Simonelli - Do you feel me' replays the piano from Inner Life - Moment of my life'

I'm also certain the '4 for the money' replayed the 'we love you' piano rather than sampled.
