Also still the most shoplifted book of all time. Not sure what my point is, just thought I would mention it. Sampling isn't theft. James Brown, arguably the most sampled artist ever. Anyone think that this has affected his record sales? Probably sold more,(puhlease correct me if I'm wrong). Can anyone name one person who has suffered because they were sampled? Why would a creative person want to stifle creativity in another? Raymond Luxury Yacht

They didn't really _suffer_ per se, but I was reminded of this story (taken from a Death In Vegas article in Record Collector #278): And there was the small matter of 'stealing' the riff on 'Aladdin's Story' from one of Fearless' Rolling Stones bootlegs. "We actually had to deal with Allan Klein! The copy I had was a bootleg, and provides no information at all. The story goes that it was Mick Taylor's try-out record. I don't know if that's 100% but it's based on some old blues. They cut an acetate but never registered it as a song, so they said they knew we'd done it, but as it was never declared, there was nothing they could do". I wouldn't say the Stones suffered, because the loss of income probably wouldn't have kept Keith in narcotics for 5mins, but I thought I'd mention it. I was reminded of this article by Kris' mail about there being no creativity. Both DIV and FSOL went to India and made new recordings of new material for their most recent albums.

What I mean about sampling Is that most people use it in such sappy ways Yeh ill just get this loop And chuck it in here... Some people are more creative... And that's when its good .... Tape beatles cassette boy osymyso culturcide to name a few... Im sure there might be a few more i'd say fsol are typical of the 'polite electronica' around at the mo it don't matter where they go they could go to the fucking moon and record samples they'd still be shite!! kris -----Original Message----- From: orb-admin@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-admin@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Wakely Sent: 05 January 2003 17:22 To: orb@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] Re: Sample spotting etc....

Speaking of recording samples from other planets, i hear one of the probles going to Mars shortly (or maybe one that's already there) will have a microphone on it to record the sounds of Mars. Hope they've put wind shielding on it. Kwook
