Listening to this Earth Wind and Fire greatest hits vol 1. I got so much EWF vinyl from growing up–I’d have to say that I prefer a well-produced all live instrumentation of groove of a sampled piece, with few exceptions.

This is why i love the people under the stairs production so well. This is why i prefer sampled hip hop over synthesized “Royalty Free” beats.

computer music is quickly dated.

even my favorite “techno/electronic” style music is music that is obviously a hybrid of sampled music (Roni Size, Pieter K).
