LOCK YOUR DOORS!

 

I still listen to this, haven't gotten tired of it at all. The Girl Talk album, I couldn't listen to three times.

When searching for new music, I usually click on a few random track samples. 10-secs of so of each is usually enough to turn me off or draw me in for further listening. Perhaps short-sighted, but usually serves me well when sorting music into like / dislike.

 

This is a technique that failed me completely with VHS (and I suspect others too); portions of abrasive cut-up sampling of vintage sounds sent me walking on to the next ridiculously-over-hyped Boomkat release. With tracks such as Franco Zoom taking two full minutes to fully settle down, I think this can be forgivable.

 

It wasn't until hearing the the clips of 'Sunset Everett' (and subsequently 'Seen Enough') over in the Music Discussion forum that I was really hooked (thanks Green Kingdom - you've given me a permanent grin for the past couple of weeks :wink:).

 

The sample-jack-offs are actually something that I've come to like. Hearing sounds that don't align properly before they 'click' into place is a fantastic technique. It's like wondering "What's going on?" in a club before being smashed in the face with filth – fantastic.

 

Repeating as others have said - don't miss this academy award winner.

 

So yeah - that's my real contribution to the thread, 46 pages and 687 posts late.

"I've got the best news I've got the best news!"

I wonder if anyone will systematically track down the sample sources? I can't find anything by Googlin.

there has already been some discussion about the more obvious ones, but there's a lot of fine grained detail in there. don't forget - there's no VST synths or drum machines or anything like that used here, it's all samples from VHS.

oh. part of me still thinks he may cheat a little. Also, I'm sure he uses vst EQs and stuff like that, but that's not what we were talking about.
