Chainsaw Song!!

    Okay, here's one I cannot get to the bottom of. I've searched for years, I've even tried RTE!!!
    Okay, so I first heard it on Dave Fannings show in the 90's. It is a song that has chainsaws running making the musical instrument sound and a woman chanting for the chorus. I recall Michael Jackson's Earth Song being played around the same time. I'd love to know what it is and if anyone at all apart from myself can remember it!!!!
    Call it a page of history I just want to listen to again.
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    I know it sounds CRAZY but I'd love to get to the bottom of it.

    Many thanks.

    Thanks man, but unfortunately that is not the song I'm looking for. There is no audible lyrics in the song I'm thinking of, apart from the female chanting.
    To the best of my recollection, the video had chainsaws cutting down trees.

    Not that either. There's no chainsaws in that one. Thanks anyway though.

    Heres another you might remember from that time

    Coldcut were actually pretty neat altough prob didnt think so at the time but obviously left some sort of residual memory.
    Rather than being on dave fanning I kinda remember these songs on a tv show MT USA maybe..but there was also a series of music videos that was in the style of a news broadcast on this show..ticker tape across the screen,not 3 mins of video maybe 20-30 mins..electronic based sampling newsbites??.
    Have wrecked my brains and posted a while ago in the whats that song thread but no answer so far.


    actually more likely to be alternative nation or no disco? mt-usa was mostly bollocks

    I think it was 120 Minutes on MTV used to play the "Timber" video a lot. I saw them play a set in Temple Bar Square around the time, but the sound was so low it was rubbish (presumably some sort of restriction from being outdoors).

    Found it after a bit more searching. 120mins was more alternative music than electronic but there was a show called amp and they were called Emergency Broadcast Network ..public service broadcasting must have being fans:)
