    "comment": "Optimo is the third EP by dance-punk band Liquid Liquid. It was released through 99 Records in 1983, becoming the band's final release until the 1997 compilation album Liquid Liquid. \n\"Cavern\" has been sampled over 30 times by artists like Doug E. Fresh, The Notorious B.I.G., Guru, and Art of Noise. \nThe lyric \"Something like a phenomenon\" was sampled by LL Cool J as the chorus refrain for \"Phenomenon\" in 1997.\n\n\"Cavern\" found popularity among nightclubs and hip hop musicians after DJ John Benitez used the song to close his sets at The Funhouse in NYC. The house band for Sugarhill Records replayed the bassline and bridge from the song for \"White Lines\" by Grandmaster Flash. \n\nLiquid Liquid is comprised of Salvatore Principato - vocals, percussion; Dennis Young - guitar, marimba, keyboards; Richard McGuire - bass, keyboards; and Scott Hartley - drums, percussion.",
