gusc Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 can someone please clear out the thing about long finished "samples" and introductions that simon was supposed to have used in their song-material..? how can this be true, if it is true? i just cant see anything like that coming out from raja ram and simon posford. no beatnik would accept anything like that! what is true and what is not true? could the samples have been bought from shpongle by a company afterwards? ??

There's nothing wrong with ripping classical off, just as there is nothing wrong with using samples if you do it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest djnemo Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Makes me wonder if Dorset Perception is also "ripped" from him. I have a lot of Paco De Lucia, but I do not recognize it, and I must admit I didnt hear it until it was pointed out to me. (its been a long time since I listened to my de Lucia collection, I have a lot by the way..) Now, I would LOVE to email Simon to get clarification on this one.

Cinos Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The thing is, I think Simon uses those samples to pay homage to his influences. He could well hire artists to make new samples with him or even make them himself, but he doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 i doubt they asked permission from paco de lucia .. anyway imo its ok to use sample cds etc if they are not like the main point in track like in shpongle dmt they have added just few drums on top of the sample.. it just kills the magic for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG !! they are sample cd's!! what do you use them for? they are no good whatsoever for themselves! however if he didnt make it fit into his music i could agree that it would kill the magic.. but it fits so perfectly i cant complain at all!! i just enjoy it!!

Towelie Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 HAHAHAHAHAHA why you get so mad suddenly ? .. i said it kills the magic for me maybe not for anybody else but i cant help it .. if you like it then you do its not my business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusc Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 good point, Moai. i wish i never heard of these samples. it kills some of my shpongle-magic to. not all of it, but a bit. if simon has made the electronic mixing-solo in 'behind closed eyelids' and 'once upon the sea of blissful' i will forget about the samples totally, because those mixing-solo's are like nothing else. it just blows into my blood. i dont need drugs. ive never tried them. raja and simon beats enough for me.

Bahamut Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Shpongle is a sample cds showcase. And that takes away some of the originality of the music, whatever you all say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that, I am talking about the guitarrs, which I never even thought it was him in the first place. And ummmm how can you tell if he uses sounds way more intelligent than any of us here on the board? He might be a genius, but other people DO have skills you know. Just because this is a webboard, doesnt mean that there are no skilled people around here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 well if i got it right there is a real guitar player also in shpongle who played in example dorset perception.. but he should have used him in other tracks too instead tha paco de lucia thing.. imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a LOT of samples in my tracks. 211036[/snapback] The turkish samples in Around the World in a tea daze, DO are taken from Voices of Istanbul. We have it and used it in several tracks, which most famous is Lost Eden. Many other tracks of "Tales" uses samples from various samples cd.

I can't stand this snobbery around Shpongle, it's really boring... And I know about what I am talking: the turkish (an not arabic) vocals used in "around the world in a tea daze" has been put like this in the track, copied and pasted, taken one after the other, in Voices of Istanbul, without effort to fit with the rythms, without notable sonorous work. I am sorry to break the legend, but the use of these samples in this track, when you know this samples CD, is simply and definitly shameful. Asura built Lost Eden around these voices and spanish laments, and to be honest, we hadn't listened to Tales of the inexpressible yet when the album Lost Eden was launched. We took every interesting (for us) parcel of sample, every phrase (and not whole sample) and created an order so that it'd be our track center theme, so that it'd create an autonomous melody according to a spanish crying women, and so that, without shocking the ear, it could fit the rhythm, orchestration and soul of the track exactly. You can say you dislike or hate our work, no problem, but don't speak about the work of a track you do not even know the title (re listen to it before), and don't say Shpongle worked a lot to put those samples in this track in the future. It's absolutly false. Buy Voices of Istanbul and you will see I am right. There is a single voices bank in this samples cd (other samples are rhythms), and Shpongle absolutly plundered it. I am not against uses of Sample Cds, and particularly this one, of course, we are using them a lot. Moreover, I have to say that I respect Shpongle, even if I prefer Celtic Cross from Simon. But the fantastic (hoooooooo) and awesome (haaaaaaaaaaa) use of Sample by Shpongle is really a trickery (he??????) concerning this track. It's for a long time I wanted to say that, well, cool, It's done, I feel really lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
