Guest Darvin Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I have noticed in a few other threads that some people rejoice the vocal samples in their favorite tracks, and other people feel they are the ruin of many a good track. I have found that some artists focus on childish or cheesy movie vocal samples, or over-the-top drug reference samples. The track is ripping along great and then wham it is ruined (for me anyways!). Then other tracks totaly become a treasure because of a well used vocal. What are people's favorite vocal samples?

Guest Slavkovski Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Wow, there are so many... Slinky Wizard - Funkus Munkus At the beginning of the track, a strange, garbled and echoey voice states: "Which in effect stated that we have in our possesion a flying saucer." Then the hard bassline and kick pumps in. Slinky Wizard - Supernatural Before the main screeching melodic riff a voice screams "Me and the machine are one!" You had better hold on to something! There are many, many more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nefarious Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Scatterbrain - Illogical Behaviour (excessive but hilarious drug samples, cheesy, but thats the point) Dark Nebula - Reach of Time (as usual well chosen by Mr Orbit) The Delta - Standby (very sci/space female computer sample, I assume the title is derived from this) Psykovsky - Inner Desorder (fukin hell...., shut up you fukin. love this crazy Russian) Dark Nebula - Obsidian Rock (sampling Skippy, brilliant. If your not an Aussie you might not get it) Fungus Funk - Duck the Mechwarrior (great start to a great track, as usual) Obviously many more. Over use of Matrix sucks though. Love the Xenomorph samples as well, cool old horror, love it. D-Dave - Completely Operational (say no more) Marchaos - Corollary of Flesh (sample @ the start is brutal) (^-^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Towelie Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 i like when the voice is edited and totally fucked up like in some fsol tracks.. but just cutting a sample from movie and add little delay is not very cool imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quazzi Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 MFG - We are the machines / "Machines becoming more like people....... people becoming more like machines" BPC - Blue Pill / Take the blue pill etc etc .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Son Kite - On Air ->IMO this vocal sample creates a special feeling.. Take Care Quark- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike D Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 yes Son Kite - On Air is extremely special very sweet... Xenomorph - his Qlippoth album used the best samples from "The Evnet Horizon" eg "Touch The Darkenss" ... better than the crappy ones from it done by Alien Project and Astrix (tho they are good musicians)... The Delta have goodies in all their tracks, true masters... Mr Peculiar - "40,000 Substances" rocks at the start and off the same compilation the "Acid DNA rmx" track has some weird cool ones... worst for me goes to SPace Tribe imo!! his get worst each album...

Guest lumpi Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 "Ich bin der Zorn Gottes. Die Erde über die ich gehe sieht mich und bebt" (Tetraktys - Atrophy) My favourite sample since a long time. It´s German and could be translated like that: "I am the wrath of God. The earth I walk upon sees me and trembles." (shitty translation, but something like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darvin Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 That sample in Tetraktys is indeed one of the better ones. Probably the best use of a movie sample I have heard lately is in the Space Monkey tracks Digital Illusion and Resident Evil. I know it is a matter of taste, but they seem to fit the tracks well, not to mention that the tracks are incredible. Pied Pipers remix of Alice in Blunderland is another one that I like, it is odd and quirky but totally works. A third example to me would be (and I don't know if it is from a movie) but Rinkadink's Kookykaboom, it is a drug reference but it is awesome. Hmmm.....a very poor vocal to me would be most of the ones on Astrix tracks. Incredible psytrance mixes: www.area709.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thomasz Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 love the ones in Xenomorph's album "Cassandra's nightmare", the Delta's "Scizzoephective", Psysex' "Puzzle" ('...the mind is elaborate...ladies and gentlemen.........yummie.......), Sub6' "Ra he ya" and "Droid save da queen" .............remember the Green Nuns..."there's no word for fluffy"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't like the ones used by 1200 whatever though!

Guest mxp Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 KROMELUR - Deacons Disco....great because it´s so weird...the samples in the first part are from a movie I don´t know and those in the second part are from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... Sesto Sento - Heads Off... I like it because I loved Kill Bill Part 1 and the samples are nice And still really nice is a track called "Minime" like the lil guy in Austin Powers... there´s a german sample of Doctor Evil in talking some weird stuff to Minime like he should not eat the cat or similar...;-) But I´ve lost the name of the DJ, sorry.

Guest Cryion Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 vocals can be veryyy nice but... Future Prophecy - Daydream WTF is that damn matrix sample doing in that beautiful track? doesnt fit in it at all. i dont get it. make it go-a-way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest Darvin Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Cryion, that is exactly what I am talking about. I can't help but wonder sometimes how some producers choose the vocal they are putting in their tracks. They put all that effort into creating a top-quality tune, and then seem just to arbitrarily pick a vocal off the latest box-office movie. It destroys my soul when I am fully taken away by a track and then suddeny I am rudely disgusted by a really bad vocal. The pain is nearly unbearable. But then the really good vocals create a whole new level to a good track, making it memorable and incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mxp Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hey Darvin I know what u mean, those samples got biggest influence on the atmosphere in the entire track. But in contrast to those Matrix-sampled-Tracks where the voices destroy the whole artwork, Sesto Sento creates a nice baaaaddd but still happy/funny atmosphere with his samples from Kill Bill. But this is still a question of taste, so we will most likely not find the answer that will fit to anyones opinion.

Guest Verbal Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I Agree, vocals in astrix tracks are not that good.. I really like those in The delta - standby, and a nice work i think is done in 1200 mics - mescaline, from the movie Fear and Loathing in L.A.; I mean: the track works, but i don't like the vocals in the other tracks of the same cd. Another one i like is vibrasphere - lemon phase, and Protoculture - Avalon: it's close to be cheesy but it's not, the nice female voice doesn't say a word, at least not one i recognize, it's like a sort of invocation chant, pretty suggestive. And many more that i don't remember at the moment :-P Hi to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darvin Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 One of the most beautiful vocal I have heard in a psytrance track is: Fly Agaric - I See Myself. That is a killer end track, I have used it to death. I used it when I left off an opening set for Infected Mushroon this winter, and it was the perfect transition...completely set the stage for them to carry on and whip people into a frenzy.

Guest Subatomic Vision Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Green Nuns used to have brilliant samples... ' hurtle throught the cosmos' Those guys had a nice sense of humor to say the least... Vocalsamples can be useful if they fit the track and set the atmosphere. They can be annoying when they are misplaced and ruin the atmosphere of a track... For instance ' hurtle through the cosmos' made the green nuns track, but would ruin any scatterbrain track...

Guest RTP Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Vocals are a form of art, a form to express something. Maybe Future Prohecy included the shitty Matrix-sample just to make people hear how shitty it is to use that stuff in good tracks? Maybe they were tired of that shit too and showed it in that way? I don't know a single track with cheesy samples - except commercial crap and that doesn't file under music IMHO. From Zerotonine's Exot, where the german sample "Ich unterbreche ungern eure Freizeit, Jungs, aber es ist Zeit, dass Sergeant Pinnbeck den Exoten füttert!" comes in incredibly cool before the awesome passage over Noma's What's Out There, where the vocals always ask "What's out there?" and only in the end there says somebody the word "Reality", which somehow "solves" the whole track over Man With No Name's The First Day where you always hear "This is the first day - of the rest of your life!" as the peak of a buildup until to Saiko Pod's Groove Moderator, where you sometimes hear the vocal "The music in the future" and later "isn't music", which again solves the track ... vocal can be cool if it's used wisely! And good artists use it wisely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
