"There's 70 billion people of Earth. Where are they hiding?"

I have been listening to a lot of CABARET VOLTAIRE recently, so I decided to watch the source of one of the pioneering SHEFFIELD band's most recognizable samples:
"THERE'S 70 BILLION PEOPLE OF EARTH -- WHERE ARE THEY HIDING" features prominently throughout the single "YASHAR" and comes from "DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND," an episode of "THE OUTER LIMITS" from Oct. 17, 1964.
Robert Culp plays
Trent, a man with no memory of his life and a left hand replaced by a computer shaped like a glass hand.
Three fingers are missing. Once these are found and reattached, the computer can resolve the mysteries surrounding Trent -- including why a group of dark-eyed aliens called the Kyben seek to destroy him.

The science fiction author HARLAN ELLISON provided the intriguing story.
The wonderful BRADBURY BUILDING provides the atmospheric setting.
Built in 1893 and located at 304 South Broadway (3rd and Broadway) in downtown Los Angeles, the building also famously served as the locale for "Blade Runner," as well as other productions.
Try clicking here for part 1 of "Demon With a Glass Hand."

Hi Erik,
I just wanted to say thanks so much for helping me track down that sample from Yashar! Ever since first hearing it many years ago and in subsequent re-uses by Cabaret Voltaire I have been intrigued by what its source might be. Thanks to your post I have now tracked it down and watched the amazing show it came from - so much sci-fi heritage in one show it's amazing!

Thanks again.

Thanks for the post. On a whim I Googled the CV sample and was led to this site.

Nice to find someone else who has interests as diverse as NFL football and Cabaret Voltaire.
