The Official AC Sample Thread

How much of MPP is actually sampled from outside sources? Like I know the percussion in Brothersport is taken from some African choir or something. Like, how many of the sounds were directly made from the band versus the sampled material?

It's mostly their own pre-recorded material, I'm sure. I think the major outside sample they used was the Lion in a Coma jaw harp thing which is why they credited it? What African choir was this? I'm pretty sure that hasn't been posted in this thread already and I've never heard it mentioned.

RE: brother sport I think it was a Brazilian drum band or something rather than an African choir. Panda mentioned this in an interview I think, but didn't specify. I think!

HE WAS LISTENIN TO A MOODYMANN MOTOWN TRACK WHEN HE GOT THE INSPIRATION. ME THINKS THE BEATS ARE ALL PANDAS IMAGINATION INSPIRED BY MR MOODYMANN

RE: brother sport I think it was a Brazilian drum band or something rather than an African choir. Panda mentioned this in an interview I think, but didn't specify. I think! yeah i'm pretty sure he said he originally had sampled a tropicália beat, i even think he said something about it being caetano veloso (will have to check up on that) but i'm pretty sure they re-recorded all the samples themselves except for the jaw-harp (which is why it's the only one credited) to avoid copyright issues. but then again, that's just speculation on my part.

but i'm pretty sure they re-recorded all the samples themselves except for the jaw-harp (which is why it's the only one credited) to avoid copyright issues. but then again, that's just speculation on my part. That would make sense to me. I love how "Avey" is playing with a jaw harp in the 'Tickle Vultures' youtube video. It's so awesomely prophetic.

yeah i'm pretty sure he said he originally had sampled a tropicália beat, i even think he said something about it being caetano veloso (will have to check up on that) Interesting that you say that, I just picked up some of his stuff recently because my girlfriend listens to alot of Brasilian music and put some of his songs on the mix. She also listens to alot of Animal Collective, I'm surprised she hasn't made that connection yet.

from the self titled song off of spirit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXm3O5rhvEk about 13 seconds in it's the opening old lady's voice right after the "shhhhhhhhhh"

AWESOME find. that doll is creepy as fuck.

i never noticed that in the song before but still a great find it's so quiet

woooo spirit samples!!! this is great thanks! the voice at the end of spirit that says "youve just messed the whole thing up" always to me sounded slightly similar to the voice at the end of alvin row

awesome! how did you find that?? the voice at the end of spirit that says "youve just messed the whole thing up" i seem to recall that being Abby Portner (Avey's sister, for those not in the know).. whereas the sample at the end of alvin row is a sample from somewhere, possibly a television show? someone who knows correct me if i'm wrong :P
