As you may have noticed I have changed up the site a little bit. It is easier to read and thanks to a little thing called StreamPad, if you venture your mouse down to the bottom of the page you can listen to all of the linked tracks that I supply to you in a nice list.
But I want to talk about sampling. Sampling is, for those who don't know, when an artist uses a part of another song in their song. It is used in many Hip-Hop tracks and is used by artists such as, Kanye West, Washed Out, Neon Indian, Lil Wayne etc. But one specific band, Animal Collective, uses multiple samples throughout their albums. *Let me just say that Animal Collective is the most important band of my childhood. They are the ONLY band that can give me moments where I feel bad for other people that have not experienced what I have experienced with their music.* On their latest EP "Fall Be Kind" AnCo has a song titled "Graze". Tell me what you think about the sample in the song.
Go to this link and listen to the Gheorghe Zamfir song "Ardeleane". The sample appears around 16 seconds in.
AND THEN THIS SI ANIMAL COLLECTIVE
The sample starts at around 3:08...
Oh and this is my short list of songs you should consider listening to...
