For years musicians have been sampling anything they can get their hands on, Clay pots, short dialog snippets from movies, and even bicycle wheels. You may ask how to play a wheel? The answer is revealed in The Art of Sampling.
I have created a short list of music with some of the most original sampling techniques.
The Beatles – The White Album
Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon
The Orb – U.F. Orb
The Future Sounds of London – Lifeforms
O Yuki Conjugate – The Euphoria of Disobedience
Steve Roach – Artifacts
