Venus No. 17 Acid Mix opening sample

the sample that opens this fantastic track up...

"so, you are the americanos... well today, i bid you [drhat unable to transcribe]"

is it from somewhere? seems familiar

also, what are all these clicky noises halp they're attacking my brainstem

"Today I build you two coffins"

I imagine it's a Jamaican deejay [mis]quoting A Fistful of Dollars, which was huuuuge in Jamaica and got quoted to shit in reggae tracks etc.

Also, Tom as sampled deejay chat before, including a chopped up David Rodigan playing a request for "Thomas" on his radio show (Vic Acid EP?).

Three coffins, god damnit.

i was gonna say...

Those clicky noises are... Well, I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about.

It's either the rides on the James Brown break, or the gate effect on the amen/think break.

i just biked in to say this track fucking wails and is one of squarepusher's best

errr... like this?

(for the dr.)

beat with adsr low

or a gate

''.....today i bill you three coppers'' ?

The first time I heard it was through a friend who had the file named Tree Coffin. It wasn't out yet... Good times.

ha, yeah... the sample was my real question. i was just joking around about the clickies... though they are one of my favorite aspects of the track... there's something about a tidal wave of clicky drum noises that makes me giggle just as does witnessing large explosions

oh?

There's a ragga jungle track from '95 called "Build Me 3 Coffins". I've never heard it before, but judging Tom's choice in samples from the past, I bet it's where it came from.

i don't know about the original sample source, but it sounds to me like "so, you are the americanos. well, today i build you three coffins."

not 100% sure on the "americanos" though.

Naah, that's not it. The mystery dwelves on...

There is always the possibility that Tom actually recorded that himself. Maybe not him saying it, but yeah. Isn't there some other thread (I think I actually started it) about that "They call me the big pill" sample? I'm pretty sure he recorded that one.

i think it's 'welcome to the big chill'

there's footage of his first festival gig on youtube somewhere, and it's definitely the same period.

I think he's actually saying "Tree Rollins"

So chu are da americanos, today i build chu tree coffins. . .

" Hey . . . Haye . . . Hey,

Hey , Hay, Hai!"
