[Mushroomdaddy33]

from this record? and what year?

@Mushroomdaddy33 I'm not sure of the recording year, but as far as I know he's reading directly from the text of "Nova Express," published 1964.

That "Millions of images" sample is in the Dalek song, "Images of .44 Casings," which I tried to post a link to here. Since that didn't seem to work, I'll just heartily recommend that you listen to it. Especially if you like noisy hip hop with your Burroughs.

I sure do.

Miiiiiillions of images.
