Rbrmyofr Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Was listening to some old Akufen and was reminded of VHS Head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpentintollwut Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Reminds me of Meatbingo. I'm not sure exactly who he is though, some people said it's actually early stuff by VHS Head, but I don't think it is ... ? https://soundcloud.com/meatbingo/bomb-the-80s Anyway, imo VHS Head's stuff is far superior to the track from the OP, but it was released in 2002, so ...

zkom Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Akufen track sounds more like Discovery-era Daft Punk than VHS head to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thinking about this I'd say Hexstatic would be a good precursor candidate for VHS Head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpMC2_SCY7w And Emergency Broadcast Network (1995).. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhZ_UygGnN0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dh0iEkDEkU But I'd guess there's lots of artists even before that that used the cut up movie/tv sample aesthetic. The KLF and the Orb come to mind at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitze Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's VHS Head lite. It's Betamax Head aka Discovery era Daft Punk vs Byron Stingily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmanyo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I like Akufen quite a bit, especially the "My Way" album, and his work as Marc LeClair is cool too. He does sound a bit like VHS Head; he's definitely at least a minor figure in the history of sampling, and possibly the biggest figure in microhouse.

oscillik Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Meatbingo = Phono Ghosts = Neil Scrivin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 One of the more compelling 'precursors' I've heard is this Jackson and His Computer Band track: Reminds me of Meatbingo. I'm not sure exactly who he is though, some people said it's actually early stuff by VHS Head, but I don't think it is ... ? Anyway, imo VHS Head's stuff is far superior to the track from the OP, but it was released in 2002, so ... That sure sounds like VHS Head! It shares some of the same samples that I've heard on TRoG as well! Really cool at any rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
