### Personnel & Musicians
The track is entirely instrumental and features the core band along with session players from the *Troupeau bleu* studio recordings (tracked over just two days at Studio Damiens in France):

### Cultural Impact & Sampling Legacy
Though recorded in 1975, this exact track became a legendary "holy grail" crate-digging find for American hip-hop producers decades later. Its crisp rhythm section and seductive piano stabs have been sampled heavily by major artists:
 * **MF DOOM** – Used the loop famously for **"One Beer"** on his 2004 album *MM...FOOD* (produced by Madlib).
 * **Tyler, The Creator** – Sampled it heavily for his track **"Odd Toddlers"** on *Bastard*.
 * **Madlib / Jaylib** – Sampled it for **"No Games"** on the 2003 *Champion Sound* album with J Dilla.
