      Those drums tracks MA has in their music as displayed are 100 percent sampled and digitally processed, plenty of daws carry some kind of flex pitch function that allows you to extend the loop to fit the tempo of your track which as you can obviously tell is playing at a much slower tempo then the original break was created in but that is where they found them, its pretty common in UK music to sample including hip hop ie dnb, big beat, break beat, hip hop, trip hop, acid house and etc

    Yeah, one of the most seminal albums of the nineties - three records that changed music forever - Tricky's Maxinquaye, Massive's Mezzanine and Portishead's Dummy. However, most of these examples are not samples, but reworks. Horace Andy sang Angel, it wasn't sampled from the original. Same with the "where have all the flowers gone" - Massive Attack has this habit of incorporating well known lyrics into their lyrics, as Daddy G sings on Risingson. Not the first time, there is tons of this stuff all over, from Blue Lines onwards. If you want to see actual samples, go to "who sampled who", there is a list of all the samples actually used (as they had to be legally cleared by the publisher). Bristol sampling is something special, the way Tricky used samples, same with Massive and Portishead - it was so creative and fundamental to the songs. Akai S samplers with first stretch algorytms really shine on all these albums.

      Back in the day they used a Sampler. Allowed them to load these songs into it and mess with the tempo/pitch.
      If you want to try it yourself, its way easier nowadays. All you need is a laptop/PC that can run a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). I recommend Logic Pro X or Ableton Live. From there, you can simply import songs you saved as a file on your PC and mess with them to your liking. There are countless tutorials available.
      If you have that urge, I think you should try it out! 😊

      @@basslightyeah yeah, the physical act of sampling music and chopping it is way easier now than it was when this album was produced. but to make good music of samples derived from many sources, you need a good ear. that's something that you just have to train through hours and hours of sampling in practice. if you already listen to a lot of different music from many different genres and artists though, you have a leg up compared to someone who wants to make sample based music but doesn't intentionally expose themselves to new music constantly
