I think there plenty of wonderful examples of subtle, smart samples that do become part of the bigger soundscape of the song without simply giving you a recognizable hook or beat. Bands like Massive Attack/Tricky, Public Enemy, Portishead and countless others are great examples of that school of thought. So, in that sense, yes, Albini is too intransigent, but I think his broad point unfortunately apllies to many, many artists, and is totally appropriate. Sean Combs is not even a good collage artist like Kanye West and some other good rap artists. He's merely a mediocre kereoke amateur.Karlissimo del Bancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175268817075630679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15477941.post-1127688193744553632005-09-25T18:43:00.000-04:002005-09-25T18:43:00.000-04:00I think Albini has a point but I also think he's b...I think Albini has a point but I also think he's being narrow-minded. I don't think we necessarily evaluate the effectiveness of samples based on our opinion of the source. I like "Every Breath You Take" but I hate that stupid song that samples it. & when I listen to the Kleptones' <I>A Night At The Hip-Hopera</I> my brain is turned inside out at the magnitude of newness.<BR/><BR/>The sign of a good sample is that it doesn't rely on its previous life for its enjoyment value, and Albini - though he is generally the voice of righteousness - doesn't seem to accept that as possible.Aaron Tiegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678539479923664310noreply@blogger.com
