Happy talk

from Phonophobia by TOXIC AL

about

My personal favourite on this album, and the first Toxic Al song to get played on the radio (Yay Triple Zed, and cheers Pete!)

I was always stoked at how well the various bits and pieces of Happy Talk went together. If I tried to recreate it now - using better equipment, computers and whatever - I doubt I could do it any better.

This is the best part of making hip hop instrumentals for me - mixing sounds from disparate musical styles together in ways that could never have happened in real life, across barriers of time and place etc. Some people think there is nothing going on in sample driven music other than intellectual property theft, but they're missing the point. (Either that or they haven't heard any decent examples of the genre) :)
