perhaps this has been done to death, but does anyone know the other samples he uses on untrue?

i know he uses "Whisper" by Ernie Halter on Untrue and Shell of Light, and then "Angel" by Amanda Lopez on Etched Headplate. they're really really odd choices.. has anyone picked any of the other ones out?

and his new track is killer.... eagerly awaiting more

i know loads but the powers that be don't like it...fair enough when you think about it

All this time I thought he'd recorded that bird himself ABOUT himself... Wow. A DVD extra. Burial is strange.

this obsession with outing samples? Why? Who cares what he used...its not the result its the ideas.

It's interesting to see what samples people used, and to hear them in their original context. It also makes you wonder how or why they chose to use it.

yeah but tbh most regulars on here know what he used as this has been discussed time and time again...

just google it and you will find results

i remember oing a film studies course and i was doing apeice on bullet boy, source material i was given had cast and crew interviews transcripted - remember reading it and effectively got giddy when i realised id just read out the intro from etched headplate

i recommend people check out the movie '28 grams' if you pay close enough attentions there is a good handfull of stuff people will appreciate in the audio

I think there are two main reasons. Firstly people have a natural curiousity as to how things work; for enthusiasts it's not enough to see a machine working well, but they want to lift up the bonnet and see how it works so well. This makes sense because the craftmanship that has gone into a machine/piece of music is not always externally apparent, so a closer look is necessary. Take the song 'one thing' by amerie, one of the best pop songs of the last decade, no doubt, but a closer look reveals the interesting fact the almost the entire song is built from an ~8 second break. This process of discovery is enjoyable in itself.

Secondly I think it's true that artists don't just choose samples simply for their aestethic quality - this obviously undermines the idea that the music/sample should just be solely enjoyed aestethically, ie in the context of the song. Samples quite often have a deeper significance which can add to the enjoyment of the music, to use no more revelevent an example: the track 'near dark' by burial samples an interview with remarc, the significance is obvious to anyone who is aware of burial's history.
