You familiar with our? Kid Hops on KEXP @AZDuck ? He was in the dorms with us at UW when we were watching Seinfeld and Friends while Pumpy was putting poundings on all the greasy bar sluts of Seattle. https://kexp.org/djs/kid-hops/
Just so we clear, Paul's Boutique was the greatest rhyming and stealing of all tim. Sampling could never happen to that degree ever again.
Paul’s Boutique is great. Strictly from a sampling standpoint, Endtroducing is better, the Avalanches Album is better, I’m sure there’s more. Every note of Endtroducing was a sample, and he did that in 1994 on like a MPC-60 or some shit.
Paul’s Boutique elevated the artform to be sure, and it’s fun as hell. Somewhere I have the 10 hours or however long when KEXP played every major sample source from PB in order.
I will try to listen to the above cuts time permitting.
@AZDuck can reality check me on this, but I think PWEI’s This Is This... runs close to Paul’s Boutique. Stylistically different and more frenetic, and certainly not anywhere near the production budget. But I still think the two albums are similar. And it kicks ass.
another great edit of "Bug Powder Dust" is on the Kruder and Dorfmeister Sessions LP. If there are "classic" tracks from electronica, that is one of them fo sho.

You may recognize the tune, as it was adapted for use by a certain animated TV series.

Bomb the Bass, "Bug Powder Dust"
Some key samples:
Open Your Eyes You Can Fly by Flora Purim (1976)
Philosophy of Drug Use... from Naked Lunch (1991)
vocals by Justin Warfield, who might just be the most versatile musician alive... considering that he now makes music like this:
he's the vocalist on both tracks.
I also really love the new version of this Bomb the Bass put out in 2013:
No shit. Learn something new e'ry day.
And DM @YellowSnow has a sample of The Who.
