Hey, yeah, recently i've been looking into old easy listening being fed up of the same old soul and funk sampling.ellaguru wrote: could you advice some albums by aldrich and humperdinck? i don't know them...
Anyways, Ronnie Aldrich, cool guy. He's the one that did "popcorn", you know the old moog track that's been sampled. I just got that tape actually, it says Popcorn with Hot butter on the cover. It's a cover album like most of easy listening but it's heavy on moog. RJD2 sampled some of it. Also, Ronnie Aldrich is known for crazy string crescendos, so cool stuff to sample. I just got a Paolo Conte tape too actually. Pretty good. I want to sample more french stuff too, like Leo Ferre, well, you must know him. He did some heavy stuff. Litterally heavy! There's a track that's heavier than Sabbath and from the same years. Brigitte Fontaine too. She even did stuff with Sonic Youth. Anyways, so much stuff out there. I actually want to sample more Ralph records stuff from the 80's. Like Renaldo and the loaf and the Residents. Actually Snakefinger (this album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIq51GidtMQ) is such good inspiration for percussion sounds. I love the sound of this album. Alright, I could talk about music for days without stopping..
