> I’m doing it on samples used as compositional devices in pop songs and all your ideas for tracks are excellent.

If you don’t already, you might be interested to know that Utah Saints sample individual drum hits from loads of different records and then piece those samples together into a virtual kit. They have to add their own cymbals, though — impossible to get a clean cymbal sample out of a record.

And don’t forget the Glen Miller sample from the end of All You Need Is Love. That’s still one of the best uses of a sample ever.

Hi Rachel. It was in an interview with AOL Music, although I don’t have the link handy.

Good luck with the dissertation :)

Hi everyone,

Just want to say that you’re all doing a stellar job writing my dissertation for me! I’m doing it on samples used as compositional devices in pop songs and all your ideas for tracks are excellent.

Gary – not sure the coda sounds like Interpol, but they are indeed good. Where did justin say it sounded like interpol? Cos I can use that in my dissertation………

Thanks! :)

Did someone mention Mansun? Gah. ;)
The traffic sound (car horns etc) on Grace Jones’ “Pull up to the Bumper” is a winner.

Oo! The bit where the vocal tape gets all chewed up on Six by Mansun.

BEATLES
The alarm clock in A Day in the Life
The tambourine rattling at the end of Long, Long, Long
All of Tomorrow Never Knows

U2
The tape looping back and forth trying to find the backing vocal on Numb

Blur
The space invader noises on Jubilee
A tape recording of them being asked for ID at a club in America off some song on Blur

And my personal favourite…

Super Furry Animals – in Hermann loves Pauline when he shouts FRENCH BREAD after saying marie curie was French bred.

The shouting in the background near the end of On The Painted Desert by Boom Boom Satellites.
