I appreciate that coming from another drummer, thanks! Building Steam is one of the tracks that inspired me to play the drums and also learn how to record them. It's still one of the most unique sounding drum kit recordings I've heard.
Something that needs to be appreciated about this sampling is that not only did it create a whole new song, it told an entire story using loads of different dialogue. So cool.
Thanks, just busy atm, but more videos will be made in the near future. Cool suggestion. Prefuse 73 is a blast from the past. It's been a while since I've seen that name pop up. That's a great track, I will see if it's possible to deconstruct or not.
It's definitely more work than it would appear. So, there is very little info on the samples in "Perverted Undertone", so I doubt I'll be able to deconstruct that one anytime soon. I'll keep an eye on it though.
Would you ever release the project files for these deconstructions, would love to get my hands on them and study the breakdowns in more detail especially in regards to effects and compression etc used!
I was concerned about the length of these earlier deconstructions, so I unfortunately left a few samples out. If I ever do an updated video, I'll include it all.
The different iterations through their various tours mean it's been constantly evolving as well. The latest version with the electronic hook and the Walkman bassline is ridiculously good.
Never thought anyone would ever be able to find most of these. Loads of mondegreens that are nothing like I've been remembering/singing for 24 years. Excellent work.
I absolutely adore his production, but I think there is a video already out there that breaks down Voodoo People. maybe I can do an updated version at some point.
Another amazing video! I’m working my way through all of your videos, having just recently discovered them. So, you’ll probably be seeing more comments from me since your content is so freaking interesting! And I hope you have the time to make more.
Such an amazing breakdown of my favorite Justice track, thank you for this! Is there any way I could get the stems of your project please? 🙏🏻 Would love to play around with them!
@@KarlBoltzmann Definitely, but I believe it does have some original parts and vocals. Here's a track from the second album... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1CbtcbcTZf0.htmlsi=cUEgOp_u7dhg87u4
the reason that McCartney song sounds so bad is blamed on him recording it at home on a Struder 4 track without a mixer so he did not have any VU metering
what are you doing at 7:43?? the way you were pulling and lining up the hi hats with the sample above it?!?! does that have a "name" so i can find a tutorial? When I play samples together I have to screw around warping them and the results are lackluster.... hey AWESOME video BTW....
Thanks Brian! I don't know if there is a tutorial out there specifically for that cutting and moving, but if you're using Ableton, you should be able to do it no problem. I make sure that the "fixed grid" is set to off (right click anywhere that the grid is showing) and then I place the cursor where I want to cut and hit Command + E on mac or Ctrl + E on PC and then I just click and drag to where I want the sample to be placed. It's much earlier when you are shortening the sample or speeding it up as was the case with this track because you are taking away a piece of the sample, so the pieces automatically overlap. When you are stretching a sample or slowing it down using this method, it can be a bit trickier.
It is, without a doubt, the most important unknown sample for me. When I first heard that flat, boxy sounding kick, the dull bell of the ride and detuned snare, it was instantly the coolest thing I had ever heard. I would give a lot to find the origin of that sample.
@@KarlBoltzmann Doesn't help that when searching high school bands on discogs, there are way too many to closely inspect, and most songs aren't on RU-vid.
I don't think the source has been posted and or catalogued anywhere, otherwise it seems like it would have been found. It might take Shadow himself to reveal the source, but he might not even remember.
I got the sample from Norman Cook (he was nice enough to gave me the all of the stems to use for this deconstruction), but it came out not too long ago that the sample is from Ruby - It's Taking a Long Time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--08wX9kty1U.html
If you consider Wallace Collection -Daydream as the original bass line that Isaac Hayes was inspired by for Ike’s Rap, then a few more songs fit into this family tree, Daydream in Blue by I monster, And Daydreamin by Lupe Fiasco.
@@Mode-7 Thanks! I did check it out and the recording/release dates match up pretty well for the bass line to have been inspired by Wallace Collection. It's definitely a possibility as they are the same line.
It should be mentioned that the Devo sample is from the video for Jocko Homo. Same as the single version, but the 7" doesn't have the sirens. The version on the album is totally different, as it's produced by Brian Eno. (one of the best albums ever!)
