Re: smoked glass / monster hit

[quote author=“davebrown”]the same sample of a female voice is used in both ott’s “smoked glass and chrome” as well as shpongle’s “monster hit”. anyone else notice this? ott’s track uses a lot more of the sample, but you can clearly tell its the same… wonder where that’s from.

on monster hit it starts around 5:00, on smoked glass it starts around 1:50… they both continue throughout.

Zero G Deepest India
Akai Sample CD

You wouldn’t BELIEVE how many psytrance/psyambient tracks have samples that are taken from this cd. Its extremely overused.
The only people who have done proper justice and originality for these samples are Ott and Entheogenic IMHO
Other than that, most artists are just trying to be cliche.

-cw

(oh yeah, I forgot Shpongle too.)

woah! that simpsons sample is great haha

yeah, that throat singing stuff does sound a lot like divine moments
no doubt they sampled something similar

as for the sample cd: interesting.
i’ve probably heard stuff from it and not known it

[quote author=“ThePro”] 

This sounds alot like something in Divine Momenths of Truth - or at least another version of this song - or just this technique of singing

The throat singing in DMT is taken from a sample cd called ‘Vocal Planet’ by Spectrasonics. go to this site http://www.spectrasonics.net/libraries/vocalplanet.php and have alisten to the ‘world’ sample it will sound all too familiar

These cd’s have been used by many trance and ambient artist…shulman and protoculture spring to mind

you will also find that Ott has used samples from ‘Studio India’ - another sample cd - in his latest album and done a damn fine job of it.

damn… i always love trying to find the samples that artists use in their songs
and then i always hate it afterwards because i see how blatantly its used hahah
i may never hear divine moments the same way again!

A New Way to Say Hooray! samples. Again from spectrasonic, like the throat-singing in DMT.

The guitar in the beginning of Around the World in a Tea Daze is similar to the one in Paco De Lucia - Introducci?n Y Pantomina (starting at minute 1:01).

Was a bit confused, when I heard it on a such a different CD.^^

That is amazing! Loved hearing it in another version;) Thanks!

it is in fact exactly that, not just similar.  he just took it and stuck it in the track, wihtout much effects either.

i think its the same hehe just listened to it

Does anyone know the origin of the Terence Mckenna sample early in Molecular Superstructure?  “We are like caterpillars, contemplating pupation…”

my head feels like a frisbee

sample : santa esmeralda (another cha-cha)

Thank you so much for posting these!  I loved going through and hearing the actual clips.

I will always contest this one…

I’ll wager that Simon made this sound from scratch, even if it is the “same” sound as The Six Million Dollar man

If a television show from the 70s has the “amazing audio skills” to make a 2 second noise (har har), I’ll bet that Simon could replicate it louder and better (and faster? stronger?) in his studio.

awesome thread, thanks for posting that list HelloMellow.  Its cool to go thru and hear the sounds in their original form.  That movie “Waking Life” is one of the coolest, deepest, most psychadelic movies ive ever seen if you haven’t seen that movie you should put that at the top of your list of priotities.
