when I realize that, it puts things into perspective, and makes me feel that something as cliched vaporware as even the Mac + track is so much more ahead of its time, brilliant and raw than any other of the insincere re-nterpretations of original tracks used to assemble many of these throwaway hits we hear on the radio every day. Same goes for a good amount of these hits that sample, but then when it comes to the total throw-away ones like Black Eyed Peas "I Had The Time of My Life" or the new one where Ariana Grande's team is sampling what Portishead already tastefully sampled on Glory Box, or the countless other ones. When I first heard Kanye's rip off of Daft Punk, I was pissed but couldn't help loving the re-interpretation after letting it soak in. In many ways, heavy sample-based vw feels more authentic than some of the bullshit that radio tracks sample or "re-create". I don't keep up with the original vibe stuff these days but it's incredible how its popularity has only increased over time. Undoubtedly the various spin-off sub-genres have helped keep it fresh and interesting, but there are still 'classic' vw artists like catcorp putting tapes out that sell out within a day or two.
