joshuatxuk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 wow. This is fucking awesome. I used to think it was a cut-up of the Opus 3 "It's a Fine Day" acappella track and then in another thread acknowledged that it wasn't, and supposedly it was a friend of RDJ...I guess this solves it? Great, great find. Seems like an interesting record in and of itself too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Some of the laughter & chirps are very reminiscent of the background textures on SAWII would not at all be surprised if he sampled this record on multiple released tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drukqs Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Too bad, I always thought Richard thought up that lovely melody all by himself... I kind of wish I never stumbled on this thread and stayed in blissful ignorance. Oh well, awesome track regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The Chappell AV Series is an amazing collection of library records if you can find them. There's been quite a few times I've come across a Chappell AV Series record only to rack my brain where I've heard it before, only to realise it's been sampled. I've used them quite a few times myself! Seriously if you ever come across that cover buy the record, they're worth the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xy_politics Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Blimey. I'm amazed that this hadn't been found years ago. Or at least I never heard about it. And, oh look, there's a copy for sale on ebay.. <click> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Holy shit, that is so cool. I've always been under the assumption that it was a friend or something. Thanks for sharing. I would love to hear more of these Chappell things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm amazed that this hadn't been found years ago. yeah, i was a bit surprised too, seeing as it seems to be a mostly unaltered sample being used prominently on the opening track of one of the better known electronic albums of the last 20 years. But probably it's just that most people aren't electronic nerds like WATMM, who listen to this stuff & go "dang, I wonder where all dem crazy noises actually came from" I kind of wish I never stumbled on this thread and stayed in blissful ignorance I can sorta understand that reaction, what with this being an explaining the magician's trick type of deal, but at the same time it fits with my views on music & art, how it's all one big interconnected web constantly reconfiguring & mutating the same parts & sometimes someone hits upon a combination at the right time in to connect with certain people on some sort of instinctual level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute marvel at wondering how RDJ made his music got me hooked, finding out more and more over the years makes me appreciate it more on repeated listens. In fact somewhat ironically, I've started listening to "less experimental" artists that got me into electronic music to begin with (Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim) with renewed interest because I actually know less about what they use equipment and sample wise!

Ditto - those three are among many "mainstream" producers I love - admittedly though, I get in bubbles of certain genres and subgenres that I forget how much I like artists often skipped over or even snubbed at.

joshuatxuk Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Back to this sample though - I love how eerie of a track it is, the vocal at the beginning leads to something more sinister and haunting, whereas in Xtal it's the icing on top of a gorgeous, epic track. And now I realize how prominent those background notes of the vocal sample are in the final mix of Xtal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
