I love it when intersections like this pop up on the list. In another thread, people are discussing a tendency to focus on technique when critiquing music, and here we get a perfect example of that. What we have here is a case of disillusionment and resentment toward an artist. The only difference is one piece of information that shattered an ideal. There is no reason why he should reinvent the wheel, and there is no reason why he can't be considered to be collaborating in a time-delayed fashion with the man being sampled. Let the "suffering artist" crap go, it never did anyone any good. The piece sounds the same as when you didn't know it was a sample. -- http://www.synthesizer.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
