I don't think people fully understand or appreciate the genius it takes to put together and mix something like this.
Liam Howlett has a time machine, he traveled into the future to watch this tutorial fulfilling his destiny and closing the paradox loop in the process.
That Rage Against The Machine sample has got to be one of the most insane examples of sampling I've ever seen. The fact that they didn't have Ableton to make this is even more mind blowing...
For anyone who thinks sampling is cheating or not real music because its not a traditional instrument...let me say, taking a sample out of its original context and completely re-imagining it into some of the most iconic electronic music of all time is genius level music creation. For me Liam is up there with any of the greatest composers of all time past and present.
Say all you like about sampling and it's cheating, nonsense, Liam had a vision for this song, he changed everything every sound to fit in with his vision. He's a musician. No doubt about it.
this video is so fucking legendary
Absolutely superb. Fascinating to get behind this track. Got new found admiration for it.
holy shit i never would have caught that Bulls On Parade sample if it smacked me right between the eyes
My mother always told me in '97 that the drummer of this band is great. Told her that it's all produced by one man and to see how it's produced makes Liam even more legendary.
Nearly 20 years on and this track still SMASHES it.
Never would have guessed it was a sample of RATM 😁
Timeline:
The Prodigy sampled RATM?! I never knew that, that's fucking awesome
Still watch this once and a while with a glass of good red wine. Fucking beast!!
Holy shit, I cannot even imagine how Liam Howletts brain works in order to conceptualize most of his music?!
Fantastic recreation! It's hard enough in Ableton, but the fact that Liam did this in the 90's is mindblowing.
Man, this was a lesson in sampling.
Thx for sharing.
By the way this guy is from Mariupol. Hope you're safe bro
I don't know what is more genius, writing this track or reverse engineering it. How the hell do you know what samples he used? Amazing
These videos really make me appreciate The Prodigy even more
