The fact that your music taste is so good makes it even better
So, a few years ago Paul allowed me to pick his brain a bit on this track and that went on for some time but, then a guy who used to tour with them suddenly died, (RIP Mart). My idea to make a ceremonial remake of Chime was well received and Paul decided to send me all the samples and everything I need to make that happen under the promise of total discretion. No contracts, no NDA nothing but a digital handshake on a gentlemen agreement. That, was such a nice gesture to do so, shout out to Paul, incredibly wholesome thing to do.
Do you know??
Can we listen to the track?
@@aphexish no
@@SMacCuUladh thanks for the thought though. Just imagine an ambient version with a dash of 70's Cape Canaveral talk, reverbs and everything sounds spacious, then slowly every element gets more into focus until the 'lead' drops. Then slowly drifts away again.
Sounds good man. @@Sool101
Chime was 'The' song that got me into Electronic music. Before that, I thought it was all just mainstream Pop cheese. Ironically enough, I first heard it on a friend's copy of the 1990 Now That's What I Call Music 17. Even weirder, about a week later I found a fully operational Yamaha DX-21 dumped in a skip. Once I gave it a bit of a clean and switched it on, the first preset was: A12 Solid Bass, talk about serendipity!
Awesome ❤😊
Haha, did you find it in a skip in Cambridge?
@@mikewalden2721 Nah, a small Scottish town in Ayrshire. Around the same time I also bought my first SH-101, £49 from a local junk shop. It was cheap because it was missing the battery cover.
Don't know what's more iconic, the track-- or the Top of The Pops performance. "DON'T GET POLITICAL!"... both wear "NO POLL TAX" t shirts. Two of the best to ever do it indeed!
That exact string sound loop also appears in Joey Beltram’s energy flash just before the ‘ecstasy’ vocal comes in.
True. And what a belter it is!
One of the all time best!@@ComposerMichaelDow
For those who may be interested....Orbital AND Leftfield, double headlining Dreamland in Margate in September. Tickets around £50. Oh and support from Luke Vibert and Richard Fearless. 👍
Chime always reminds me of the look on a bloke's face in the old Virgin megastore where he heard it for the first time - the ultimate joy of a beautiful new discovery. I had the pleasure of telling him the name of the artist and the track. Paul really is the master of the microsample, I didn't know why before but the limited capacity of the Akai totally makes sense now! Thanks for another great breakdown video Guy, interesting and informative.
First time I heard this track I was 14 and it was on a mixtape I kept rewinding and playing it as it was my favourite part of the tape.
I never knew who made it or it's name and when I got into DJing I bought the Satan album on vinyl and it was a B side and I was so ecstatic I think I wore it out by over playing it lol
Still hits hard when I hear those pinky riffs today ❤️
11:20 onwards,
Ive never noticed that sound before.
Nice one.
Ive stripped this tune down in my noggin many atime,
In all sorts of states.
I think thats part of how we change our dancing throughout the whole tune,
To suit the variations in the melodies used.
What a corker.
Thank you for doing this,
Great vid as always.
💖🙏💖😎🙌😎💖🙏💖
Maybe i have,
You know how 🕉 makes you scrutinise EVERYTHING.
🤣🤣🤣😁🤓
Really love to see you deconstruct Knights of the Jaguar - DJ Rolando
There is a secret track on the Green album with a loop containing the sample used for the main riff.
Track is titled "I Think it's Disgusting"
That's some good knowledge.
Came here to say this, you just need to pitch it up a few semitones
Would love to see you decontruct Global Communication's The Way (Secret ingredients Mix)
Jazzy M played the show before us on Kane FM in Guildford when we had a (terrible, it didn't last long!) show when they first got their licence. An absolute G and an unsung hero in UK house music. Another lovely video too.
something to add on sampling tiny chunks, im reminded of when i cut up samples i generated to make percussion for myself, sometimes i’d listen thru a short snippet, then even shorter parts, and even though the longer region contained all the shorter regions, the character of them when played separately was often very different. so it’s worth cutting out tiny pieces, because they could give a more interesting timbre you wouldn’t expect when listening to the original audio in full.
First time I heard this tune was the Hybrid mashup version of Chime with Stefan Anion x Star Fire - Inferior on a strongarm sessions mix about 2 decades back. That mashup version of the tune is burned into my brain and can't be decoupled from that memory of listening to it on repeat all those years back haha
I bloody love this channel. It's not just 'look how good I am at recreating something ace', it's 'you can do this too, watch how'. Ace.
Always love your breakdowns. And such a great track. Thanks ❤
didn't expect to learn the meaning of pedal point on a Chime recreation video, thanks mate
Great video of this classic track.
This is brilliant, keep the Orbital tracks coming!
Such a classic track, and your bass sounds are so punchy! Thank you for the guidance. Also - Homage to the 35 CB's in the back!🕉
Amazing video. Thank you.
I think it cannot be over-emphasised how valuable granular sampling is. I've had an Akai S3000 for years but never really did it as nothing forced me to do so, and frankly compared to modern methods it's a pain in the arse to use.
But with synths like the Arturia Microfreak, or the Elektron Model-Samples honing in and taking a small amount of a sample is easy. I've had a lot of really serendipitous ideas from doing this.
1010 Music BlackBox is incredible for granular sample mangling 👌
Have only just found your channel and I'm absolutely loving your breakdowns of classic tracks. Really clear and insightful stuff. Cheers from Down Under!
Countless times I've listened to this track over the decades and yet I know hear new things, Cheers for the lessons of hearing 👍
I'm assuming the sheds too cold now. Brilliant as ever Guy.
i just found gold, amazing track
Absolutley excellent video dude 10/10!!
Amazing channel, coming from an oldskool producer myself, would love to hear how hyper go go - high was constructed 😊
Goose bumps every time I hear chime
Thanks for the video dude 🙏🏼
Great as always Guy, very interesting insights on a timeless classic. For some reason I always thought the bass patch was the Lately Bass, good to know it's actually the Solid Bass (and in true nerd style I will now need to find out how they differ). Cheers!
Great video. Chime is such a simple track, but yet so effective. And to imagine, Paul Hartnoll created this on analogue equipment. Keep It Simple. PS: Editing error in the last scene.
love this track, was a teenager when it was first out, wasn't ever a big clubber or raver lol so many brilliant tracks from around that time. KLF Justified and Ancient, love that track so much too. I only got into making music myself a couple of years ago purely by accident, love it, best thing Ive ever done. I kinda wish I'd been able to do oit much sooner but I don't think I was ever in the right head space till now. Loving your videos. Great channel :)
Thanks for that ⭐
Top vid mate
Great video 🎉
I prefer the snare on the two and four 😂… great reconstruction
Subbed 🖐
Came from Xtal, which is drenched in reverb, to Chime, which I always thought could do with some more reverb
Awesome video! One of my all time favorite albums. Jazz 303 by Joey Beltram sounds like it's using the same sampled record. I'm surprised you didn't touch on the last sample which is also in Energy Flash by Joey Beltram. Always wondered who sampled who, but I guess they could have both sampled from the same place. Keep it up!
Beltram did a remix of chime, that was on the US 12" copies. He could of used samples from that, for his own tracks. If they came out afterwards?
I'm guessing Beltram just sampled Chime on Jazz 3033 and Energy flash they came out the year after Chime (1990), it was the early days of rave everyone sampled each other.
Beltrams remix came out in 92 a couple of years later.
Hope you'll do "nothing left 1&2" one day, as they're my favourites from orbital! :)
"Ostinato" is a better description for that sound than pedal point. Enjoyed the vid!
Ah no… it’s an ostinato pedal point!
I hit the play button on this/your vid so fast..
their production was always so phat. I read somewhere that they did it on a four track or something
Just found you! Love your work. I was a DJ in the early 90's. Chime was simply epic as well as Energy Flash that you just did. Another of my top 5 was Pilgrimage to Paradise by Sourmash (Barrel mix) which for me is an operatic journey of a tune. Please disect that f*cker!
this is the issue with modern times, to many tools make life easier but production get more harder it can be overwhelming
I have an inkling that the sample at the 11:42 is perhaps from Madonna / Material Girl - I say that because the Chime (Crime) mix has a lot more of it and it's more identifiable as Madge. Also - she probably heard it too as she got them to remix Bedtime Story rather than sue them lol. Seriously though - check out that mix and see if you agree.
Thank you! Love your videos. Please do Alice D In wonderland - time problem some day.
Ventolin is a classic example of using a single sound and building an entire track around it
Still using Ableton 6 (released in 2006) in 2023.
Still using a Korg Padkontrol 16 from 2001.
Absolutely great pads better than some of the more modern iterations in terms of touch response.
Still using windows 7 (off grid)
So far i have only had two out of hundreds of VST's owned that wont work with my old set up.
I regularly produce modern D&B using Serum, Massive and a sample collection of 400 GB dating back to 1998 when i started out with only
a korg M1 keyboard and Cubase.
If you believe your kit is the problem, its usually not.
It's often a loss of creativity possibly because you have too much choice in your set up.
In 2000, Playstation released a music game/daw that provided for sampling from any inserted CD. (Music 2000)
The maximum sample time was just 8 seconds on playstation 1.
Dizzie Rascal made a chart topping album on a playstation because his mother couldn't afford to buy him a PC and DAW.
Midnight, Cream pier head Liverpool 1999-2000 NYE celebrations... Orbital playing this track ❤🚀
Great video as well thanks 🙏
I watched The Bear and realised The Durutti Column was the sample I was looking for after all this time of trying to emulate chime.
11:55 "There is the theory of the Mobius, a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop"
Where time becomes a loop
@@erikopnemer Where time becomes a loop
The sample for the main riff can be found here: ruclips.net/video/yt3QYEa5Ah4/видео.html&ab_channel=AlbumPlaylists
I was about to point out the same thing
love the editing at the end of the video, you must have needed a dump or something, "feck it, it'll do, upload"
9:38 It suddenly changes from the key of Eb to C on your piano roll? Not sure if it was on purpose for the audience or something, but I was already trying to figure out the chords & notes on my keyboard and had somewhat of a "wtf" moment when I saw those notes in your screen (and hadn't noticed that change of key) 😅
edit: or it seems like some folding mode that only shows the diatonic notes, but then still weird that it transposes the note names as well 🤔
Is the sound for the melody that you discuss at 11:23 not the same as the sound they expand on in their remix "Chime Crime". That track uses sounds sampled and edited from Madonna Material Girl
Rave classic driving around the M25 or the London orbital…..that is where they got their name….interestingly I have a Moby remix of this on a DAT tape somewhere that never got released !
If you saw Orbital at Rayzels Bletchley when their PCs crashed ....their second actual gig ever. Then count yourself in a rare group of people.❤ Love you all.
Yes yes, I was there with you! 👌💥
Wow. In Bletchley?
@@danpreston564 yup. Eddie Richards ran a club there, a DJ booking agency called Dy-Na-Mix and a shop nearby called World Beats. Good times, we had the greats play there
They were using PCs? Thought they started with MMT8s?
@@leftmono1016 yeah J is getting it confused with when Baby Ford played at Outer Limits his Atari crashed 👍
Isn't there a TR909 kick in Chime? Maybe it's another version but I swear Chime also uses a TR909 kick
Time to hunt that sample. Need more WhoSampled points.. :P
Talking of influences, the Hartnolls definitely copped We have come to bless the house by Severed Heads for the main riff on Chime. Check it out 👌
I think that it’d be cool if you did a Leftfield track as part of your remake / how it was made series.
One of the early ones? ‘Phat planet’? Or ‘A final Hit’ or something?
Have you seen the ones I did of Song of Life and Melt?
@@GyuBeats I’ve gone through loads of your jams and production videos so most likely. I’ll have a ganders at these 2 specifically later on. ;)
Is that a CZ 3000?
Weapons grade synth. Porta with chords, lunacy.
Hartnoll was also influenced a lot by Philip Glass (said in interview) listen to how he does repetition in his melodies
heh never expected to see an AudioPilz thumbnail in the video...
Hey, is there any way you could remake Psychic TV’s Wicked or Joy?
Both great tracks
Did I miss the bit where you sampled the lead chord off "I think it's disgusting" the last track on the album?
Can I please request 'Open Your Mind' by Usura for a future episode?
So to me the sample sounds a bit like the beginning of a news bulletin from the US!
SLAM 🙂
CHOONS
Great channel and content just subbed. Do you take requests for deepdives? First Cool Hive by Moby, Return to Innocence by Enigma
Not a problem if not! Keep up the good work 😊
I’ve been having issues regarding gear recently.
I own a tr8 that I had before I got my tr8s. I enjoy the tr8s and the additional features are really fun but I can’t help but think that I prefer the original tr8 more. I was going to sell it but now I dunno wether to keep it and sell the tr8s instead. The only think making me question is the fact that it only has the a & b parts. If it had more that just the 2 bar limit I’d just get rid of the tr8s.
It’s so annoying coz I only use one at a time so one is just sitting there and could be additional finds toward something else.
you can always sample your drum machines before selling them. there's plenty of drum machines i no longer have, but still have cards loaded up with samples from that i use.
I've owned a ton of drum machines over the years with really limited internal sequencers. What I normally do is just trigger the drum machine with the crappy sequencer with a drum machine, or synth with a much better sequencer. I normally connect up my old HR-16, as it holds 99 songs with each song containing 99 patterns, with each step containing up to 682 steps.
Limitation is the mother of creativity
@@Eightball69 Yeah, there are Limitations, and there are Limitations to the point where something's unfit for purpose. But this isn't the case. The sequencer on the TR-8 is less involved compared to the TR-8s, but it's perfectly acceptable. It might sound a bit harsh, but judging by the subtext of the original post, it just sounds like he doesn't know how to operate either of them properly.
I love the story about how they recorded it to their dads cassette recorder and it played fast, so it slowed down the recording.
I think this meant (due to be slightly slower Bpm) is part of its longevity
Alongside it being an amazing production
Here is another track based on Phuture's track. Warning, its a bit naughty! You'll have to search RUclips for the track as I don't want to post links here.
* Major Problem - Acid Queen (Dirty Version) *
Lol
apparently joey Beltram USED tht same classical music piece the same EXACT year. Wierd
1) artist .. 2)good compressor like a Fairchild 3)stop sampling other ppl work. AI is going to issue massive law suits to all artist using sample libraries like Skirlex's music. this is massive move for real composers
Chime hasn't aged well. Sounds so cheap these days
Incorrect. Will destroy any good dance floor
Whaaaaat?! Nooo 😬
Just like your comment will in the near future.
How wrong you are!! I just recently observed 15,000 people dancing to it in Las Vegas this year. I later complimented the DJ and he laughed and told me about 10 people wanted to know what that track was.
Shoutout to Ski Oakenfull (@skioakenfull). I've been watching his Deconstruction videos for approx 11 years. Incredible talent and musician.
