Tracks built around samples
So them, listening to Brandon Flowers’ dismal collaboration with xxx which bar the Communards sample had NOTHING going for it, I got to thinking about tracks built around samples. I know some of you have criticised Jamie XX’s ‘obvious’ approach to well known samples on In Colour, but in contrast, what name some tracks that are built around samples (and would be nothing without them). By all means criticise lazy sample use as well, whatever takes your fancy…
To kick things off, DJ Shadow's Lost & Found, which really couldn't have existed without U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday:
