The bass line, voice and drum mix are orgasmic This album was made for fucking while being high, I'm intimaly sure that it's what the creators wanted to give as a feeling
No way! You just blew my mind so hard. So glad I can still learn something new about the best album ever. Last Bongos in Belgium was also used by the Beastie Boys on Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun. It's weird how similar it sounds to the drums for When the Levee Breaks too. Many thanks to you!
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
@@dacoup5955 Just wondering, since when do DAWs have options like this? Given the album came out in the late 90s, I wonder how MA converted these samples, they didn't just use a quick command in Logic surely
Back in 2013 when i dig Mezzanine & Exit Planet Dust I didn't get the concept of sampling. Now i am excited to dig deeper and find my way to be interesting.
Amazing album. Always been a big fan of Massive Attack and also other dark Trip Hop sounds from the likes of Portishead, Tricky, HTDA, UNKLE, DJ Krush, ALLFLAWS
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.
Thanks for the work, that's one of my fav albums as well! But I keep getting a little bit frustrated about the visualizer not being related to the songs. I, and probably many others, would greatly appreciate if it was. Thanks!
Alright, look up exchange - massive attack. Then imagine your me making this video. Fuck, there's not a music video for it. At the end of the day, I can't match video with every song. Especially the sampled songs.
Fuck I'm a dingus. I totally agree with you. I'm saving up for an editing software and after effects. Using Imovie right now. You won't believe how many hoops I have to jump through to do the simplest shit.
1:16 That is actually Sirius by The Alan Parsons Project... and I wonder about the accuracy of the rest of these perceived samples sources since that tune should be pretty well known by many people.
However, I am not refuting that there is not any sampling taken from 'Sometimes I Cry' by Les McCann. I am not going to try analyze this video that in-depth. But in this video it is instead written as "McCan" with only one N.
Most of these are interpolations. Sampling is a different thing. And some are just similar-sounding, like the Iron Butterfly groove. And I’m not sure about the Led Zeppelin beat either.
Oh, yeah, you gotta pay for 'em. I'm not sure exactly when it started, but I feel like somewhere around Paul's Boutique with the Beastie Boys sampling and payments to source material started getting organized and codified.
Facts... I'm feeling kinda stupid for thinking about trying to make music now but just knowing massive attack was capable of being able to make something this amazing with limited tech and knowledge years ago I have no excuse except for the fact that they're too goddamn good to ever be great in comparison
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
Blue line is my favourite album of all time & massive attack my favourite group but i remember being crest fallen when some wise old reggae sage revealed to me how just about everything they do is lifted from some other source, ha haa. Still haven't been swayed though, just a little more educated.
Angel's vocals are not sampled, Horace Andy actually sings in it! 'Where are all those flowers gone' can be a quote, but 3D sings it so that's not a sample! Same for the remote control thing! How inaccurate...
But those are interpolations which are forms of sampling. I'm not going to title my videos, Every sample and interpolation from ________ Doesn't sound sexy.
ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS IN HISTORY.
True
Probably? It 100% is
My go to album still when I'm chilling and cuddling up to my wife
Facts
The best
Idk why but this album gives me such a post-apocalyptic really lonely kinda vibe. Perfect album for quarantine
Man next door is the darkest song I've ever heard and yet i love it sooo much
The bass line, voice and drum mix are orgasmic
This album was made for fucking while being high, I'm intimaly sure that it's what the creators wanted to give as a feeling
Massive Attack are something else. This group is sex. They sound like sin and every guilty pleasure you've deprived yourself of.
it's also very sinister.
Sampling The Velvet Underground and not having it sound corny is an accomplishment
A trip hop classic
For me, mezzazine is the best album ever made
No way! You just blew my mind so hard. So glad I can still learn something new about the best album ever. Last Bongos in Belgium was also used by the Beastie Boys on Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun. It's weird how similar it sounds to the drums for When the Levee Breaks too. Many thanks to you!
Love the shit out of this album, and I never realized it’s fantastic sample usage til now
thank you so much for this
Most of these aren’t actually samples, they’re just musical lifts.
Good
yeah... nonetheless, it's interesting seeing the references
Yeah, more like references
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

Black milk is the greatest song of all time
They are GENIUS
Back in 2013 when i dig Mezzanine & Exit Planet Dust
I didn't get the concept of sampling.
Now i am excited to dig deeper and find my way to be interesting.
Rip Cerati
Welcome 2020's
I do have my own stuff.
You'll see in some future.
they are one of the most important bands in my life and they’re sampling my other favourite bands. am i in heaven?
Heavy Soul Slinger by Bernard Purdie is sampled by The Prodigy as well, during Poison. Clearly a well respected song amongst the 'dance' greats.
THE WAY MY JAW DROPPED DURING THE ENTIRE VIDEO THESE MEN ARE GENIUSES
Thank you this is one of my favorite albums of all time. Can you maybe to Dummy by Portishead next time?
You just blew my mind. I didn't even know Dummy had samples. Been listening to that joint for years.
You're joking right?
Yeah they are really sick. A video on that album would be amazing
Entroducing... by DJ Shadow
Yeezus by Kanye
Shades of Blue by Madlib
Run the Jewels 2
dakota smith oooh endtroducing would be great
This album is absolute gold. This album was way ahead of its time and I guarantee their music will become more popular as the years go by.
thank you bandstand this was very fulfilling
this is incredible
Outstanding sampling
The homework vs The exam
omg that angel sample
The beginning of Risingson is very similar to Deep Cover by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg
Que gran video hermano !!!
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.... PLEASE!!!
Please do portishead!
And why did I not discover this channel sooner again?
This is so fucking cool. :D I ought to mention, though, FYI a lot of these are not samples, but something known musically as "quoting".
DOOM also sampled that Isaac Hayes track on Operation: Greenbacks.
Amazing album.

INCREDIBLE
Ok this is sooooo genius!🤩👏👏👏👌
Love this band.
Are you sure about "when the levee breaks" sample?
Thanks for the work, that's one of my fav albums as well! But I keep getting a little bit frustrated about the visualizer not being related to the songs. I, and probably many others, would greatly appreciate if it was. Thanks!
Alright, look up exchange - massive attack. Then imagine your me making this video. Fuck, there's not a music video for it. At the end of the day, I can't match video with every song. Especially the sampled songs.
Oh, no no. I completely understand that. I meant the dancing bars in the lower right corner.
Fuck I'm a dingus. I totally agree with you. I'm saving up for an editing software and after effects. Using Imovie right now. You won't believe how many hoops I have to jump through to do the simplest shit.
Oh man, that's a shame. Looks like you put even more effort than we all imagine. Hope you'll get one soon! isn't there any free good software though?
There probably is one out there but I'm just hardballing it right now.
Hell yeah massive attack on recommended
Only discovered this album because of Metro. It’s great.
Hey man, nice video and thank you for the sample references! Could someone tell me where do you get the scarab's videos in 00:28 and 02:40?
whaaaaaaaaat? :O Nice!
Best Trip Hop Album
Ocean man 1:23
Man next door 3:04
Hi Bandstand can you please do a video on samples in Massive Attack Blue Lines please it’s my favourite album ever thanks man

Ey. Could you do the cold vein by cannibal ox?
do more triphop !! portishead , dj shadow , tricky , gorillaz
how the fuck do they even find these samples
I need it more!!!!
Brilliance
Most of these are interpolations. Sampling is a different thing.
And some are just similar-sounding, like the Iron Butterfly groove. And I’m not sure about the Led Zeppelin beat either.
Hi see you guys soon!
Are there any rules to sampling? Is Massive paying royalties to any of these bands? Just wondering.
The samples have to be cleared, and there is payment involved
Oh, yeah, you gotta pay for 'em. I'm not sure exactly when it started, but I feel like somewhere around Paul's Boutique with the Beastie Boys sampling and payments to source material started getting organized and codified.
Chill album
how did all of this get cleared???
Record label. Keep in mind we don’t know if all of these have been cleared
@@Bandstand curious.. a lot of these samples were also almost bent out of recognition- I always wonder how far that line can be pushed
how do they do this? like once they get the samples what do they do? and how do they process them??? just wish I knew how to do this
Facts...

thought it was los angeles from the cover
They do have similar covers, and they're similarly excellent.
That's what I call sampling
Can you do please:
Pete Rock- Petestrumentals 2
Slum Village- Fantastic Vol 2
I'll add it to the list. Thank for the dope request.
genius!
Nice af
Horace Andy sang the hook in both the sample and the actual song
Angel's vocals are not sampled, Horace Andy actually sings in it! 'Where are all those flowers gone' can be a quote, but 3D sings it so that's not a sample! Same for the remote control thing! How inaccurate...
But those are interpolations which are forms of sampling.

Bandstand Yeah well for me "references" works well... Anyway the video's well made so nevermind 👍
Actually its Daddy G singing those lines in risingson lmfao
Maybe they were samples first then replaced with same phrases
These aren't samples.
Most of them, anyway.
Can you do Bizarre Ride 2 the Pharcyde by The Pharcyde please?
I think you got the wrong understanding of what a SAMPLE is
Do you understand what sampling is?
Looks like author does not understand what samples are in music production
Does all this LOTS of sampling make any sense financially? I mean, how many percentage they have to pay to all the other rights owners?
I love you
Anyone have any idea how to clear samples for profit use? I’m starting to produce instrumentals using samples and would love some advice
Big Bhoy make music people fuck with. Get signed to a label. If your label believes you enough to sign you they’ll help clear those samples
kendrick lamar good kid maad city
it's already been done.
ok thanks a lot. i love your channel
Check out Cocteau Twins "Domino", I wonder how Massive Attack can claim that wasn't sampled or interpolated on "Angel".
Well, Cocteau Twins' singer, Liz Fraser, sings on Teardrop, Black Milk, and Group Four. They surely were okay with it
You muppet! Wrong Ultravox. Rockrok was from the John Foxx era. NOT Midge F. Ure!
Some of them are not even samples
arte0021 interpolations
не, ну а чо. "Все мелодии спеты, стихи все написаны" (с)
Please do Weeknd - starboy/Weeknd - bbtm/ Weeknd - kiss land / Weeknd - Trilogy
Or all the four😊
Exit Planet Dust
Non sense man
You have to try harder 🤣
