Yeah, Liam uses a lot of samples, but most of them very creatively.
On the other hand, two of the greatest tunes he has ever written (Breathe & Omen) hardly contain any samples.

I dunno about Breathe, the guitar riff was lifted from an old James Bond sound track and the swords sounds are from a Wu Tang track, Da Mystery of Chessboxin.

I'm sure Omen is littered with samples from somewhere that we haven't noticed yet.

Isn´t the Breathe Main Riff just a re-cut of the James Bond Theme ???
Guitar beginning at 0:08 sec here [maybe Liam used another version]:

Some one needs to go through all the John Barry scores...the sample will pop up.

...might have been recreated like the Mindfields sample

I know about those samples, but they are not really major samples like in other tracks. They are not even from tunes - Omen's sample is a sound from some site, and the sword sample is originally from a movie.

glockespiel in Omen is probably sampled...and the main synth riff melody is probably stolen from somewhere.

Breathe is a pure John Barry rip off :D

We just need to spot the samples :twisted:

What's more likely:

- Liam Howlett has built all tracks from samples, except Breathe and Omen

or

- Liam Howlet has built all tracks from samples. Major samples in Breathe and Omen just hasn't been spotted yet ;)

Well, if no major samples have been spotted in Breathe for 13 years or so, why do you think that would change :-D It's not like only a few people have heard the track :wink:
So, you have time until 2022 to find the major Omen samples :lol:

sample at the end of EITP hasn't been spotted either...that's almost 20 years old.

Kool and The Gang sample in SMBU was just spotted, that's 12 years.

How long did it take before the Bernad Purdie sample in 3 kilos was spotted? 10 years? ..and the John Barry rip off in Mindfields?

We have forever to spot samples in Omen....so what exactly is your point? ;)

Agree.

But that doesn't mean it wasn't stolen and recreated ;)

Mindfields melodie wasn't sampled either...neither was Jericho...but no credit given to the original producers of the melodies.

It's about people accidently coming across the samples now, take that 'Equal Rights' sample, only just been spotted nearly twenty years later.

if it take that long to spot a sample, then its good use of samples anyway.

Its not like the tunes liam make, sounds like the original songs he sampled.

as long as it sounds like a original prodigy-tune, who moan about it?
