Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

I've always wondered whether Trent Reznor sampled from the Disney movie Tron on Nine Inch Nails' debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. A recent conversation in Death In Vegas' bulletin boards has led me to do the following.

I've created some MP3 files of the parts I think are sampled from Tron. Can you tell me if these sounds are from Tron?

- The synth tone in "That's What I Get"[.mp3]. (The song begins with the tone--it sounds like Trent took the tone, which is normally one long, steady tone, and broke it up into short bursts.)

- The tone is brought up again (in a different key) near the end of "Ringfinger"[.mp3], but in a different key.

- A similar tone is heard in "Kinda I Want To"[.mp3] whenever you hear the lyrics, "know it's not right thing/And I know it's not the good thing".

So there it is. Maybe you could help me out; I've been trying to find out for years. Not that it's an obsession or anything.
