I think the emphasis here is on 'just' doing samples - Vibert bases most of
his music on samples, yes - but that is just the starting point, he takes the
music to a higher level with his startling, original instrumentation. I'm no
fan of the Chemical Brothers I admit, but their records seem mostly to be
glorified 'megamixes', of quickly stolen passages from other people's
records. It's just a huge ripoff of the late 80's Beastie Boys sound,
produced by, guess who, the Dust Brothers (the original name the Chemical
Brothers had until they were sued by said production team). Except of
course, the original Dust Brothers did it properly, with style and funk,
instead of this compressed wall-of-noise subtlety-free barrage of beats.

Cheerio!
