What are you listening to right now?

[ssdd]

Yeah they sampled Music Is The Light by Pooka. The rest is ok.

Edit That read more negatively than I meant. Should have listened to the album in order instead of skipping to track 24 and being somewhat underwhelmed by the rest. Shame really as it looks good on paper with Kurt Vile and Vashti Bunyan etc

I agree, it's a mixed bag. I preferred their original album Since I Left You (2000). I was more pointing to the description that mentioned Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan. Just thought it might be something of interest to you.

Alpha - Sometime Later

Pretty sure that Avalanches - Since I Left You album used a sample of this somewhere in the panoply of sounds. Apparently they used over 3500 samples in the album!

[tomtallis]

I wouldn't be surprised, Lee Hazlewood is sampled a lot.

Ooh that reminds me..

And now....for contrast. [EXPLICIT WARNING]

I'll see your Bach and raise you The 3rd movement in D minor of Vaughan Williams' 5th symphony.

Performed by the Amarillo Symphony.
