I think the song feels the "most sampled" because whenever the song is used.. "most" of the groove is lifted, ykno?

I remember an interview on the Canadian show Video Hits they were interviewing DJ Minutemix and Prince Be, and they said they found the sample for "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" in someone's trash can. It was a fairly common hit single... the story could be True.

I think they were just referring to how they flipped the song and made something old (by 1990 or whenever they recorded it) into something fresher. And thrift shopping for records isn't much different than dumpster diving. lol
