I know this article... It's 2 years old, and Vibert was talking about the former Dust Brothers, who now are the Chemical Brothers, who are not really musical innovators...

Now this really takes it...I have plenty of respect for Luke Vibert.
However...him saying that the Dust Bros., who are as fucking innovative as
anyone, are shitty because of using "just samples"...reeks. I'll just
remind all involved of mr. vibert's quote from raygun (hey, not exactly a
idm bible, but stilll from the man's mouth). It was something to the
effect of "after listening to 4 hours worth of beats and easy-listening
samples from DAT, I tend to forget where I got things. I'll sample Kool
and the Gang, and then not remember until after it's been released - oops! Forgot to clear that...".
I'm not really all _that_ upset about this whole thing; after all, it's
just one man's opinion, but all in all, it sort of looks like the pot
calling the kettle black.
