A thread with very long posts! I find this discussion very
interesting.
I recently read a good book about the music industry and its
relation to sampling technology. It was called "Will Pop
Eat Itself" and focused primarily on the team of SAW (Scott,
Aikens, and Waterson or something like that), PWEI, and the
KLF. Along with lots of other producers and performers.
I think it does a good job of dealing with a lot of the
issues that the use of sampling technologies bring up in
rap, techno, and pop music.
I'll post more information about it once I find my copy.
