hatelull posted:I mean, sure if a song like that dropped in 2024 but it was 1989 and they were thriving on samples in that period. They even did a call back to that track on Last Rights. hell no, I still love tracks filled with movie samples (mostly cause I rock that vibe too). I kinda feel a lot of artists are afraid of copyright strikes for it tho so you don't get it much from anyone who has dreams of getting even a hint of popularity. Edit: movie samples where it's not the same limited pool of 80s sci-fi/horror classics. I am definitely over bored of anything that uses ones I've heard a million times before, and it was wild hearing an overused Aliens sample but in some new industrial techno thing that came out last summer.

I get it, I like the samples too. I just don't understand the hot take on "Rivers" being a genre parody.

I kinda feel a lot of artists are afraid of copyright strikes for it tho so you don't get it much from anyone who has dreams of getting even a hint of popularity. I hadn't watched Aliens in years so when I watched it recently and got to "Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams" I had actually forgotten where it was from and it was just that sample from Homes and Gardens. Artists got scared off/bored of using as many movie samples in the 90s, then we got a boatload of Bush samples in the 2000s. At least we're getting back to some creative samples again. Leaether Strip worked a bunch of new ones into his Skinny Puppy covers instead of just reusing the same ones, the new Cyberaktif has some, and a few others. My favorite less popular samples remains the samples Clock DVA used from Something Wicked This Way Comes which are on the level of Mindphaser in just completely making a song. And then there is the "Here's to the Thrillseekers..." sample that Abscess used in Thrillseeker and I've heard in a couple other songs and have no idea where it is from.

Dead When I Found Her puts in a lot of samples too. Some are immediately obvious (“oh that’s Shutter Island”) but others are more obscure like The Visitor (I pointed at the screen like Leo when one character said “thank you for treating me like a normal person… but I’m not a normal person”)

I watched Terminator 1 and 2 again the other year after not watching in over ten and it was just sonic deja vu

I still need to watch Six Feet Under for the Battery Cage samples. My main band for sample shock though is PWEI. Often caught me off guard, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest notably.

There used to be a site that catalogued & ranked industrial bands based on their samples. It sadly died like 15+ years ago. There was a points system involved, something like 3 points for a recognizable vocal sample, 1 point for a sound effect, etc. I single-handedly raised Mentallo & The Fixer from like 15th to 3rd place ![]() Pretty sure Skinny Puppy was #1, don’t quite recall #2. FLA was in the top five I think but I don’t think it was them.

Can’t talk about movie samples without mentioning Velvet Acid Christ. He was so lousy about it, one poster on rec.music.industrial said something to the effect of, “congrats to VAC member Brad Pitt on the success of his new movie.” The song “Pray For Life” for example is ruined by samples from a mid thriller from the 90s called Extreme Measures, and hearing Hugh Grant in the middle of a song is so goofy. In the last few years, I’ve been starting to use vocal phrases again, but not from movies. Reality lately has been way too wild for me to sample from movies.

I've always been scared of using movie samples or even educational films after what happened with Chris Vrenna and a remix he did for NIN. I always saw it as playing with fire.

My favorite as far as successfully integrating dialogue samples into music and having the samples work with the mood of the music is probably Doubting Thomas.

As an avid listener of Exile on Mainline, the first time I watched Heat I went "oh hey I recognize this hail of gunfire."

Then I realized that song came out in 2010 and felt really old since I was thinking of it as a recent example.

I wish we had more recent examples of DWIFH.

It dropped right in time for Eurovision, which is appropriate. I'm happy he's not just doing the same stuff. Putting Slug on there seems out of place for the new sound.

Orgy and Stabbing Westward seem to be touring this year too. Add that to Fear Factory and GWAR and Dethklok and it's a packed first half of the year.

Stabbing Westward will be fun, but def skipping on the Orgy cover band.

Fear Factory was super boring while their support acts killed it when I saw em a few months ago. I’m sure your mileage will vary depending on your enjoyment of FF in general, I’ve never really listened to them but wanted to tick that box anyway

It really must suck to be a person named al on the same internet that loves AI and San-serif fonts as a browser's default. They have to stop making records at some point. Hope the last one slaps!

quote:Jourgensen continued, "There comes a point in time musically when anything from here is going to be downhill. I see so many bands do that. I don't need the money. I don't need the whatever." Listening to some recent Ministry and wondering how it could ever go downhill.
