Pekka Pohjola - Sekoilu Seestyy

[bmosley45]

I remember listening to this while playing Everquest 1. I would roam around the Plains of Karana, just rolling green, a few trees, my trusty sword, and emptiness.

[el060248]

Fantastic.

[DamianNixon]

Thanks JoanPol. Nice samples.

[komphlex]

You don't complain that the bartender uses liquor made by someone else, but it's wonderful when that liquor is mixed with others to make something more than the sum of it's parts. If you can't appreciate something existing in a newly created context, perhaps art just isn't for you.

[komphlex]

ITT: People who have no idea what sampling is.

You don't complain the bartender when he uses liquor made by someone else, but you appreciate when that liquor is mixed with others to make something entirely new. It's pretty sad if you can't appreciate something old in a new context. I guess art just isn't for the likes of you.

[mandinglos]

Thank you , thank you for somebody getting this back on!! Former content was blocked. A thousand thank yous!

[jasserakano]

@mandinglos you're welcome!

[ApesOfBass]

Oh my god this is some fine playing :) and the chords are killer. I can't believe DJ Shadow just butchered the shit out of it, and then takes credit and gets money off it....

I like Shadow but damn.

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@ApesOfBass

dude hes a fucking dj hes not taking credit

his names officially means me makes music out of samples

[ApesOfBass]

@igessthsisgrwnup

No, I know that. I just mean in the sense that it takes a bit of research just to find out where the samples are even from, and that sucks for the original artists.

[Ireland004]

@ApesOfBass How is he taking credit for it? Its clearly stated that his whole album is made from compiled samples. Its just that most listeners here that great melody and equate with his talent not the musician he sampled it from.

[ApesOfBass]

@Ireland004

Well thats what I mean, the common listener isn't going to know where he got the music from, without a bit of digging.

[conorucd]

@ApesOfBass so what? zepplin "sampled" heavy too, music is fluid. all art relies heavily on inspiration and re-use, "standing on the shoulder of giants" and all that.

[ApesOfBass]

@conorucd

Getting inspired or re-using the same chord change is WAY different than taking an exact recorded piece of a song, and looping it for three minutes. That's just lazy and it's theft. Sure not monetarily, the original artists usually get royalties or something of that nature, but in terms of creativity and music, it is stealing.

[conorucd]

@ApesOfBass No. This is one sample by shadow, and it was not taking the exact song and just looping. This is one of the main ones of the particular song on his album, yes, but there are several others along with voice samples and reworking of drums.

[conorucd]

@ApesOfBass Also, what listener listens to anyone called "dj shadow" and think man this guy plays the organ and drums and so many instruments so well or wow this is a great band, come on be realistic. Also its not as if dj shadow was made a millionaire of this sample or even his first album, people dont just stumble upon shadow except maybe now after dj hero a little bit

[ApesOfBass]

@conorucd

Yeah, but the issue is when people don't know who was sampled. The original artists don't get the recognition they deserve.

[conorucd]

@ApesOfBass and in cases like this, they get several times more recognition than they did at the time and in the case of the amen break several hundred more times recognition and "airtime".

[ApesOfBass]

@conorucd

Yeah, but only if people make it a point to find the original artists. For example, Biggie's "Hypnotize". The beat pretty much sold the track but not a lot people know it was sampled from "Rise" by Herb Alpert, and in fact they COULDN'T know unless they looked it up. I'm just saying that sampling is kind of a weak way to put in way less effort than actually writing music, and the original artists don't get credit - even though it's THEIR song, not DJ whoever's.

[conorucd]

@ApesOfBass if you listen to ay rap song or dj song and you dont think its a sample your an idiot, so dont be silly. unless its the roots and a few other examples where the music is original. all art is a remix.

[ApesOfBass]

@conorucd

Yes, people will know it's a sample. Stop bringing that up - that's not my point at all. I'm saying people WON'T know who the original artists are unless they look it up, but the original artists should be the ones getting most the credit, because it's THEIR music.

And yea, but being inspired is different than sampling and ripping shit off the original (actual) artist.

[conorucd]

@ApesOfBass thats because the original artist is obscure and didnt have major success, usually, at the time never mind now. they are getting a renewed interest in their music on top of a paycheck. Where do they loose in sampling. nowhere. you dont own music anyway.

[benfreckle916]

@ApesOfBass

dude shadow makes an entire album out of samples. "entroducing..." is an entire album full of nothing original yet makes it entirely original in his own way. yeah he's taking the "talent" from someone else, yet he has his own talent. and same with most hip hop. they are taking good music and making it even better.

[davidtheguitarman]

what instrument is playing the intro?

[jasserakano]

@davidtheguitarman i've always thinked was a fender rhodes, but maybe i'm wrong :)

[ComradeJX8P]

@jasserakano If you're wrong, it's a Wurlitzer. But I happen to think you're right as well.

[DarkZekeX]

@jasserakano I think it is an electric piano, but it sounds more like a wurlitzer to me ^^

[boibad12]

@jasserakano I'm pretty sure it is, or it could be a Wurlitzer, but either way sounds like there's a flanger on there

[srest777]

@boibad12 fender rhodes 72-3 stage mark2 super-crucher, ross chorus, leslie cab and other effects through line in in cabinets

[boibad12]

@srest777 Dude were you in this band? lol how did you know that!

[turn1ablist]

@davidtheguitarman Hi David, it's a Wurlitzer EP200 or 200a through a phaser, you can tell by the slight "reed" like sound compared to a smoother Rhodes tone.

[alefbetac]

AKA 'The madness subsides'. Sampled by DJ shadow in 'midnight in a perfect word'. Beautiful piece of music!

[TheSilverDubber]

Beautiful!!

Great to hear the original that DJ Shadow sampled so well!

[MissShadow871]

@TheSilverDubber Dj Shadow is sampling the best old stuff and he changing it for a new awsome level ;)

[yod4444]

[TheTroubadourPariah]

The lead guitar is BAD ASS.
