Ahh . . . Remember the turn of the century? I do. And DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing was the soundtrack. It holds a Guiness world record for being the first album entirely made up of samples. And it still stands up as an amazingly well conceived and balanced work. If you haven’t listened to this in a while it is worth your time again.
This is a video of a high school percussion ensemble recreating some of Endtroducing. Absolutely awesome! In my high school, we were too busy playing lame jazz and poorly executed movie soundtrack music to do anything half as cool as this.
Also wanted to post this mp3 of the Moroder song Tears, sampled by DJ Shadow on the track Organ Donor.
Classic!
