Dance track track down

September 29, 2007 3:16 PM

Help me find this dance track that's been taunting me for years...

About 3-5 years back a local dance radio station in the UK got hold of a track that they called "Head Hunters, Son of the Devil". It was a great piece of music which they played quite frequently for about two months - then it vanished from the airwaves. All my attempts to find it have been thwarted and the radio station itself denies any knowledge of its existance...

What I know:
1) It is built around a sample that I associate with "The Omen" but which my wife thinks is "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana.
2) At the time it was (theoretically) available as a white label in the UK, but no music store could actually find any stock for it.

Do I have any chance of ever tracking this track down?

There appears to be an mp3 linked through this page that has that track. Search for "devil" and you'll find it. I've not actually tried to download it, mind you, but that's my best shot.

Annoyingly, I have found this which is similar but not the same...

Apotheosis released a track that sampled "O Fortuna" in 1992. I believe they were sued by Carl Orff's estate.

/me waves my glowstick in the air.

Try Headhunterz as a search string.

Headhunterz - Son of the Devil Seems to be available only on vinyl -- that's a purist thing, right?
