Where does everyone think they might have gotten these from? They are really cool and I wish I could find vocal samples like that. And how did they do the delay where it goes down and swells back up a bit on It Began in Afrika?

legend has it that Ed sometimes is on the forum, so if you would like to shed light on this Lord Simons my God, be my guest. :D

Read here about the Jim Ingram sample... http://www.songfacts...ail.php?id=8648

Which delay are you talking about? Can you give a time approximation in the album version of the track? A lot of good effects processing for sweeps, swells and crescendos takes place on aux bus or fx sends, where you can automate filters and eqs and do interesting things like add a stereo field enhancer and sidechain compression ducking from the kick or some other element. Keeps the movement of the effect well placed in the mix and lets you go a bit crazy with it without disturbing the source too much.

PS, I always found it funny to think of the guys using ReBirth, and wondering if it was a Radium rip :P I dug it out for something quick a few months back and was annoyed by some rewire quirks (no DC offset filter on indiv rewire outputs plus no dedicated independent volume control makes for crazy clipping) and had a good laugh remembering the early 90's... everyone was all over ReBirth. We used to drag a Pentium II to warehouse gigs!

I think that's talking about "It began in africa". Plus, what i'm talking about is actually part of Galaxy Bounce.

The delay I'm talking about is at 5:51 on It Began In Afrika, though it repeats over and over.

Well you asked about IBIA as well :) 5:51? Thats the end of the track where it begins to segue into GB. Speaking of which, i wish the new album had more segue/mixes between tracks. That was a bit of a Chemical Brothers "thing" i really liked.

The GB samples are too indistinct for me. I remember when the album came out i thought that they were off vinyl, with the pitching effects, but you can do that on CDJ's or even a good old sampler to a more fiddly degree. Anyway...

GB is one of my favorite tracks, and I think there should be more transitions in newer chemical brothers albums, since I like that cause it makes it flow and not be just a set of songs. I was suprised when I heard the the CD version of Push the Button cause my vinyl version cuts out a lot of the segues.

So i wonder where they get there vocal samples from? such as

yo man you gotta be yo-

get up on it like this

it doesn't matter

your ideas

1 2 3 4 5 6 bass (i've heard the 1 2 3 4 5 6 part other places)

i know...

push the button

on the subject of samples, where did they get the sample of the piano guitar and cowbell on the boxer? Obviously no one will know, but it has annoyed me since i first heard it, cause it sounds so cool and I must know where its from!

the one other place ive heard the "1 2 3 4 5 6" is on that one break beat and sample album that Fatboy Slim put together for DJs and producers. Its at the beginning of one of the break beat trax "Lesson 4".

yeah thats where i heard it, since I have that CD.

How could I put together a list of vocal samples and not remember "who is this doin' this synthetic type of alpha beta psychadelic funkin'?"

Hmm they explain that one on some interview disc i think... a new york hiphop album they picked up? I love sample hunting so much. Its getting MORE fun as the newer generation is getting lazy, grabbing things from each other online rather then flicking through records or old tapes and even VHS.

Id like to know where "it doesnt matter" comes from actually. A bunch of us have argued about how it was cut up... was it done on MPC with the Velocity to Sample Start technique, or chopped up in the S3000XL's the CB's talked about using? I remember lying on a couch in this dark room under a house, a multimedia student sharehouse, DYOH just released, It doesnt matter playing, very very smokey room (cough)... home made disco ball spinning (engineering students!) and just thinking... WTF. Thats awesome. A year later by chance i moved in and that room and its adjoining space became my studio & drum/vocal booth :) I bought an MPC soon after to join my old TR707, Premiere Drum Kit, etc. Such an awesome track for memories like that! Nice to think how music tech and times have changed, but its still a massive tune.

Anyway back to samples. I laughed the first time i heard a sample of "Ohms sweet ohms" by Kraftwerk on the intro to "Leave Home", pitched down a bit without the full vocalisation. Sampling Kraftwerk is kind of like using the "Wilhelm Scream" in a movie :)

Yay!! I can't actually contribute something somewhat useful in this thread!

The vocal sample in It Doesn't Matter is from the band Lothar and the Hand People. I could smack myself in the head for not knowing the actual title of the song. Anyway, Lothar and the Hand People were a 70's [psychadelic band from Colorado, the Denver area I believe. It's funny because when I read quite some time ago that they sampled Lothar and the Hand People, I immediately thought of this coworker I used to have years back (he was my assistant) who was a good 20+ years older than me and he was from Denver and a huge huge Lothar and the Hand People fan. Always bringing in thee old mix tapes of obscure psychadelic music to listen to while working...

But anyway - you had to fucking mention the Wilhelm Scream!! :lol: Brilliant! Sample spotting that famous scream during a flick has become a sort of sport for my family!

Lothar and the Hand People - It Comes on Anyhow

What a strange piece of.... um... Music? It's basically strange sounds and spoken word.

Oooooooohhhhhmmmmmmmm.............
