sAMPLING CHEESY OLD RECORDS IS PRETTY MUCH luKE vIBERT'S sPECIALTY. if you're disappointed that he did this, you would have to be disappointed with all his work.
At the time (and maybe even still now) Luke didn't have any VST plug-ins. just a MIDI set-up: sampler, a basic sequncing program on an atari, drum machine a synth or two.
imho: the man made some of the greatest contributions to IDM with 'Throbbing Pouch' and the 3 Plug E.P.s His releases after 'Drum'n'bass for pappa' have been watered down.
enjoyable, but not in the same league (not as wonderfully creative)as his early stuff
