Galvanize

Sampling can be fun, and the days of sampling for profit is not gone. I just recently became aware of Chemical Brothers' Galvanize, and Najat Aatabou's Just Tell Me The Truth. That stunning string stab, is actually from a very nice ditty by the Maroccan singer. Not only that, but the rhythm rudiments (the beat) has also been sucked into the Chemical Brothers' digital machinery, and laid down as the main backbeat. And voilá, a Grammy for the best dance single...

Najat version is for free, from her own homepage
Listen to Just Tell Me The Truth (mp3)

For the really interested, listen to Galvanize meets Star Wars (mp3)

This is straight forward, and for the most part fast forward renditions of Abba - made by bands I've never heard about. But, fun enough I guess - would have reached a larger audience if it had been released in the early 80s... And you can find it here.

The Human Tuplolev

This video [download it as a 9 meg wmv file or as a 22 meg mpg file here] shows Russia's latest attempt to peek-a-boo Scandinavians. After a Norwegian F-16 with a modified drop tank sprayed a Tupolev TU95 in flight, the Russians have come up with a nasty piece of audiochemical warfare dropped from above. The skydivers include Alexander Beloglazoff, world-record holder for longest freefall involving an augmented seventh chord. The music is In-Grid's song Tu Es Foutu, as though you didn't already know that, you Cheesy Euro-Disco slut, you.

...and, if you liked that, and want to know more about cut-up, why not cut of your ear and lend it to People Like Us and Ergo Phizmiz's latest podcast Codpaste (link). When does it stop being completely isolated from the rest of the universe and step into the world of collage, adding another patch to the huge quilt of sounds that have gone before? People Like Us "start at the very beginning" and try to find out. Features sounds from Noah Creshevsky, DJ Earlybird, Brion Gysin and Kid Koala, amongst many others.
