Anyone looked at the site? www.whosampled.com search for your fave bands, singers etc see if there has been remixes or covers done. I love it because as a dance music lover I can see where all the producers have cheekily ripped the parts of tunes from

I've been there the odd time. I try to store things like this in my head but the head often fails.
Also things like different versions of Reggae riddims but when I spend a few months listening mostly to Northern Soul the information fades!

You can waste a lot of time looking up who sampled your favourite 70s prog band. Who knew that Madlib sampled Hatfield & the North? Or that an obscure Belgian jazz-fusion outfit called Placebo was sampled by Common?

It always amazes me that producers are such music junkies that they know and listen to these obscure records take a 2 second sample in the middle and make something else great from it. The original artist could never have envisioned that in years to come someone would take those insignificant couple of trumpet notes at 2.03 on there song that was a minor hit in iceland 40 years ago and turn it into a massive hit record. Someone like DJ premier i see some of the obscure sample credits on his productions and i cant believe he listens to this type of the music. It really shows how much they value and love all music no matter how weird.
