Unknown Artist - The Wall

juventustifo, Jan 19, 2007

Ive got notting against artists that use a 80s hit and make a new version of it, but Im getting sick of all those "artists" who abuse those hits just for making money. I mean, its every time the same crap: a trancy loop with a kickdrum for about a minute, then it all stops and the original track fades in, the kickdrum etc. starts again and the same one-liner keeps repeating so much that you want to grab a shotgun a kill your stereo.
This is my feeling about many tracks these days, but... it was a real pleasure to hear this subliminal remix of Pink Floyds "The Wall" coming through the speakers. I have no idea who made it but that person knew what its all about, and in this case that meant "keep it simple". A simple kickdrum with a clap and a repeating electrosample that give this track his identity. Finally the samples of Pink Floyd (not filtered!!!) that were used just perfect. There is also the sound of an overflying helicopter and the voice of a German man (first I thought it was Hitler but that makes no sense in the track so it must be some kind of politician at the time of the Berlin Wall I guess), Im not sure but I think its not coming from Pink Floyd. This track might be future retro.
To all the "artists" that I mentioned in the first part of my comment: listen to this, learn and try to create something thats coming close to this level or get out, stop wasting my life with your dozen-in-a-box crappy on money based "wannabe-hits"!
