You are not alone Moto, I feel your pain too. :-(

[CannonFodder]

May I be so bold as to suggest Prozac? ;-)

[CannonFodder]

When the Technics are a-spinnin', I'm a-grinnin'!!!

You back on the pills Ad? ;-)

[CannonFodder]

Nah, I had a pair of 1200's for the past few weeks, gave 'em back yesterday and I already miss them...

It's almost like losing a child isn't it? :-(

[CannonFodder]

though of course I never blatantly rip anything off

Learn to love your sampler young Padawan!

[CannonFodder]

No, I much prefer to create something from scratch than to "sample" other people's work.

I once found an a capella vocal from Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" and reworked the whole track.

Irony or Paradox? ;-)


Sampling is an art form.

What do you think about 99% hip-hop, jungle, hardcore, house, breakbeat or drum'n'bass tracks ever released being laden with samples?

That doesn't count, it was practice :-P I can see the value in using samples of other people's work as a starting point. But creating a whole track from scratch is much more rewarding to me than basing something on somebody else's work.

Right, I need something new to listen to. I've been browsing the new releases on the iTunes store, but can't find what I'm looking for. I really want something in the same vein as Radiohead's Kid A/Amnesiac era. Any suggestions?
