File:Clip of Sungod (2003).ogg

Summary
A clip of the song "Sungod" from Godflesh's 2003 EP Messiah. Duration less than 10% of song. Source: Messiah (EP) by Godflesh. Songwriters and producers: Justin Broadrick, G. C. Green Copyright: 2003. Avalanche Recordings

Rationale of fair use for Messiah (EP)
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * It illustrates educational articles specifically about the song from which this sample was taken and the album from which the song was taken.
 * It is a 30-second sample from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
 * It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances the quality of the article Messiah, without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. CelestialWeevil (talk) 22:12, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
