JEAN-MICHEL JARRE SAMPLED ZAPPA




I remember buying Jean-Michel Jarre's "Zoolook" album shortly after it came out. Not that I was into the music that he was making at that time, but the album did feature former Zappa guitarist Adrian Belew on guitar, so I had to hear it.
And it was only last week that I read (at Zappateers) that the track 'Diva' includes a Zappa sample. If you listen closely, you can hear Suzy Creamcheese say "Bizarre" in a slightly sped-up version.


I am not convinced that Jean-Michel Jarre knew about this at the time, as it might have been some sort of preset sample on the Fairlight synth he was using.


First time after 14 seconds, and yes, that's Laurie Anderson on vocals.
