Does anyone know Justine Electra? Her song "Fancy robots" makes heavy use of a sample of "Two divided by zero". It's quite nice, actually. My friend just played it to me, unaware of any PSB-connection.

I checked, and frankly, I don't think so.

Thanks for the video. I still think so. The opening drums of "Two divided by zero" are slowed down and play throughout the song.

It's definitly the drums of Two divided by Zero slowed down. Also recognizable by the multiple attacks of the drum sounds. It's a typical artefact of a not so good time stretchinging algorithms.

I think someone mentioned to me that she sang some lines of a Pet Shop Boys track on her gig at the MELT Festival this year - where PSB were Headliners. Unfortunately I left her gig too early.

Interesting use of a drum sample. It's obviously 2:0, no doubt about that.
