just to clear up some misunderstanding i feel this conversation has fell
into (not that i would know, i didn't start it), i think what tom meant
by his 'no samplers' rule was that you wouldn't just sample the original
song & do something new with it, but that instead you would have to
reconstruct it using other means. i suppose using a sampler to create
new, unrelated sounds would be okay. then again, it's just a rule to
spark some creativity out of you. if it works, you take it. if you
cherish your sampler too much, well, keep using it, there's no one
pulling your arm. :)
