I grew up on UNKLE & The Chemical Brothers and the likes. To watch the creative process behind these tracks is a treat, thank you, sir!

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

You and me both! Thanks for dropping by.

@Redswipe 2 года назад

This is great! Hope you can do one for Lonely Soul, I love that track.

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

One of my favourites! I will definitely touch on Lonely Soul in the near future. Unfortunately it won't be a full sample deconstruction, like some of these tracks have been. The strings were actually orchestrated and recorded for Lonely Soul, so there is no sample behind them! Nevertheless, I will take a close look at it and maybe reconstruct/rerecord the strings themselves. Not sure yet.

Ian all day ninja!!

@kazzykasborne 2 года назад

I never noticed the layer of the break beat before! but after you pointed out it' obvious. it really gives a lot more energy in that part. it's amazing to see all the subtle programming that DJ shadow does

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

Glad you noticed that Kaz! That was probably my favourite detail about Unreal, from a production standpoint. It reminded me a lot of the drum loop layering that we used to do back in the day with some of the recordings we made. Except Shadow's ability and subtlety was just so far ahead at that time.

@quibster 2 года назад

10:20 pretty amazing how this slice of psychedelia fits in to the mix. another great video! thanks for doing these

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

I believe the Jules Blattner Group track is the only credited sample from Unreal too, which could mean a few things, but it tells me that the guitar from that track was seen as an important lead line/hook. It really does fit well together.

@omgitsjulian 2 года назад

These Shadow albums mean more to me than word can ever describe. From the depths of my soul - I appreciate these videos. Thank you!

@TheMysticShaman7 2 года назад

Amazing deconstruction ! Why not doing U.N.K.L.E. Main Title Theme for a next one ? Always used to your videos ! Keep em coming ;)

That is on the list for sure!

@scottking7186 2 года назад

Ahh, this is great! Such good tracks. I have to give the nod to Be There though.

@SendyTheEndless 7 месяцев назад

That drum break is so nice... Surprised it hasn't been sampled more but I rarely hear it. The ride on the "3" really grooves!

@KarlBoltzmann 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, it's such a unique and interesting drum sound too. I really respect the effort that Shadow always puts in to find breaks that haven''t been used before.

@charlesbaker1931 2 года назад

Brilliant. I love this album and great to understand how it is constructed. I have a greater appreciation for it now. and Yes, Unreal is my preferred version.

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

Unreal for me too. I just like the mix better than Be There.

@alexandersteffen7805 2 года назад

Great video.

@jamesreid8840 2 года назад

Brilliant Karl really ❤️ that one. For years I thought the vocal sample was from the matrix would never of thought Star Wars holiday special 👍 Keep up the good work 😉

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

Thanks James! I agree that the Star Wars sample was unexpected but it does fit perfectly with the Psyence Fiction theme.

@amandagordon1307 2 года назад

That Leroy Vinnegar song is something else. That bass is so good it actually hurts.

@KarlBoltzmann 2 года назад

Leroy's stand up bass, backed up by that Rhodes keyboard, make for an an amazing sonic atmosphere.

@notagiant2671 Год назад

@@KarlBoltzmann Necro posting here but that has to be the same sample that was used in the Fight Club Soundtrack.

@garethwhorrall2595 Год назад

Overlaying two separate drum loops to sound like the drummer is hitting harder is genius! Did he produce this on an MPC? Great work deciphering this and sharing with the rest of us mate.

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Hey, thanks a lot. Yeah, it's hard to imagine, but he made all of these tracks on his MPC.

@garethwhorrall2595 Год назад

@@KarlBoltzmann Did you ever see the Dark Days documentary? That's a film custom made for a Shadow soundtrack...

@suedeheadje Год назад

Richard File did a lot of this I reckon, it's his vibe

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Interesting. My understanding is that this track was produced/written by Shadow but maybe File collaborated with Shadow on this one?

@Joaopedro283 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the deconstructing, what track did you use in the intro?

@KarlBoltzmann 2 месяца назад

It's a Shadow/UNKLE mashup I made for the intro

@worldofmuu Год назад

I’d love to hear some breakdowns from Never, Never, Land

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

There isn't a whole lot of sample based music on that album unfortunately. It was really the DJ Shadow tracks from Psyence Fiction that are almost all sample based and basically just Shadow tracks with vocals. He was really in his element around this time too. These tracks are something special without a doubt.

@69crafty 9 месяцев назад

Is that mash up at the start of the video of the drums from Unreal and Stem available anywhere?

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

A year ago or so I clumsily put up a soundcloud page to post a couple of Shadow mashups I made. I never did post that one, but I'm going to look in to it now. Here's the link for the others. soundcloud.com/user-524898025

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

I had a few minutes, so I went ahead and mastered the track and posted it. Cheers. soundcloud.com/user-524898025/karl-boltzmann-unrealstemorgan-donor-mashup

@69crafty 9 месяцев назад

@@KarlBoltzmann Thank you. Brilliant mashup that Shadow himself would be proud of.

@Tyler-mz2sm Год назад

you need to go into Ableton settings and turn of the fade on clip edges

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Yeah, that's a great setting and I do have it turned on. I often talk about a loop clicking on playback because back when I started sampling and looping, it was a pretty important detail for making a listenable track and there were no settings for faded clip edges in the software I used in the 90s. I can see that it's probably not the most useful information these days. Cheers

@ishmael2586 10 месяцев назад

Where does the choir sample in the ian brown version come from?

@KarlBoltzmann 10 месяцев назад

Great question. To my ear, it sounds a lot like a Mellotron on the vocal setting. Maybe they had one in the studio where Ian was recording his vocals.

@ishmael2586 10 месяцев назад

@@KarlBoltzmann yes, i checked - guy sigsworth did the mellotron. Thanks for the response and video.

@KarlBoltzmann 10 месяцев назад

Cool! Thanks for confirming that.
