    Just watched a video from Wintergatan about his "Ondophone" and was reminded of the breakdown in Nerf Herder from Rave Wars:

     

    starts at 2:30, could that be a Marxaphone + Effects?

    starts at 0:32

    may also be just a coincidence that both play the same melody

    It's unquestionably the Jetsons' doorbell. He also used the sample in Swet on Chicago, Detroit, Redruth. Maybe a Marxophone or related instrument was used in making the original sound effect - I hear the same repetition of notes (though the tone is very different) and it wouldn't have been a synthesizer at the time The Jetsons was made.

  2. I really couldn't get into these and I struggle to tell any of the tracks apart. But my first impressions of Recepticon are much more positive; so I've been thinking about it and decided the problem was these are Play-Out Tracks. They're super polished EQ-wise and probably sound excellent on a big system, but are too homogenous to interest my ears for extended home listening.

    Possibly this is why he didn't release Rave Hop as Wagon Christ - despite being downtempo, it's still meant for the club.

  3.  

    I doubt he clears them.  

     

    I think he flies under the radar, doesn't generate enough $.  However fucking Bob James is suing Madlib.

    I think this is the case too, maybe excluding his releases on Virgin or other major or big indie labels? I remember KD3 couldn't be pressed up more than an X amount of copies because otherwise they could get sued? Which is also why it's not repressed yet?

     

    Also what I heard for this (hello a year later) is essentially that Salsoul got a little grumpy about the sample on Needy Feelin' and said basically "yeah okay but you're not repressing that or we'll sue". 

  4. This very well could have been posted earlier at some point, but 13 pages is a lot to go through.

     

    This is the beginning of "Delicious" by Plug:

    It hasn't. Thank you; I'd always wondered about this one. Given the bass sound, I wouldn't be surprised if the main slap riff is lurking on the same album somewhere.

  5. I doubt he clears them.  

     

    I think he flies under the radar, doesn't generate enough $.  However fucking Bob James is suing Madlib.

    Incidentally, that is the least coherent thing. He could sue pretty much anybody in the rap world (they can't -all- have cleared Nautilus) and he goes after Madlib? 

  6. He's popular enough and on major labels, I figure he must get the samples cleared? Wouldn't that be a liability for the label and not just the artist?

    I imagine the ones that make up a bulk of a song are probably cleared. I'm less sure about the vocal samples, or the very tiny bit of Leonard Cohen in one song.

  7. Does he clear all his samples? If not dry snitching runs wild on the internets.

    It's for that reason I don't really post samples anymore if it looks like the artist might sue (see: anybody on Salsoul; that's why we can't get KD3 repressed). The makers of radio station jingles and laughing samples are probably less aware.

     

    If you know of anything I've posted that might be the trigger for a lawsuit, I will take it down. I feel like the spoken word samples are interesting to hear in their old context but the funk ones I have more reservations on nowadays.

  8. "I wrote this when I was on the moon" from Bizarster is a Legendary Stardust Cowboy sample from his 1984 album. I can't find a version of it anywhere online however.

     

    You can hear some of the Forbidden Planet soundtrack at around 3 minutes into the same track. I suspect there's other elements of it used, but I don't actually have the album (one for the shopping list I think); I just know this particular piece because of the Pete Rock connection.

  9. Seems to be a fairly prominent sample in old school hip-hop, perhaps already common knowledge, but 6:33 in this:

    is at 0:23 (and throughout) in this:

    Little easier to tell it's the same sample in something like this (0:27):

    I can't hear this one. Do you mean the woofing percussion hit, or the guitar hit that follows it?
