Just sampling old tracks like 'Sanctaury' though has nothing to do with trying to recreate an organic feel in music & creating tracks with a different aesthetic approach. I can totally understand where you're coming from Slaviksvensk, but am rather confused eyeswithoutaface,how just using a few samples, whether they are actually from 'old skool' tracks or sound as if they are, can be seen as a different way of creating music.
Artists used to let their machines 'go for a walk' (granted with certain imperfections, see 808 State- Newbuild) and often create beauty (the list is too numerous) & now although you get quite a few exceptions to the rule, there is a certain formula which is stuck to. I would also say that a lot of the more repetitive tracks made at the time had a certain roughness which is sadly lacking today- stuff like Poindexter's Computer Madness, Work that... etc...
I don't produce, so these are simply observations from a music-lover's point of view.
I shall try to find & have a listen Slavik to the Ep which you recommend.
Cheers
