I think I wasn`t too clear when we talked about "sampling" some posts ago.
This technique isn`t used only in hip hop but in almost every kind of genre and this is fantastic! Music is always being reinvented throughout time.
I`m sure you have already listened many tracks that were sampled but you didn`t know that. A classical example, the track Lady (Hear me tonight) by Modjo which`s got the top of the parades for weeks in everywhere a radio existed was based on a sample by Chic`s track (here is Chic again..) from 1982 called Soup For One.
Check it out!
Well, I have a tendency to think the originals are always better. In this particular case I think both them are good. Modjo has done I good job in beggining of 2000`s joininig old Disco themes with House 4x4 style. That`s sad they stopped producing although remixes of tracks like Lady, Chillin` and On Fire are released until nowadays.
In their only cd album release you can fell the Modjo`s french disco house taste. The first track is a usual openning track. Track 3 certainly brings good memories for anyone! Tracks number 2, 7, 9 and 10 are aligned to Lady keeping the disco flavor! Track 4 just fills the bag. Tracks 5, 6 and 11 are melow songs... not my business. This one seems to be the japonese release so it also has tracks 12, 13 and 14 that include other versions. A little bit pop but still a nice house album for your collection!
