I remember switching from Deezer to Spotify (paid subscriptions) because Deezer didn't have "Skunk Anansie - Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good) (Allegedly Acoustic Mix)" which is an amazing song - imho one of the best "Repeat1" songs that I can listen for hours and hours.
There are other songs I cannot seem to find anywhere though, some cool remixes I remember from back-in-the-day or some live bootleg-y versions that never made it to the streaming services such as "Pearl Jam - Black/We Belong Together/It's OK (Pittsburgh '06)" (https://)www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1pG6cWzWOQ https://)www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1pG6cWzWOQ).
Another song that 'suffered' from stolen samples (seeing other peoples' comments), and a personal favorite is "The Orb - Fluffy Clouds" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fluffy_Clouds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fluffy_Clouds). I remember hearing on an interview (many many years ago) that when they were discussing about clearing the stolen bits, someone said "say nothing and release it and we will figure it out later".
- bane 2y agoLittle Fluffy Clouds was inspired by and famously used samples from minimalist composer Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint (among others). I think this is about where they sampled it from https://youtu.be/plL2VDAoThU?t=745 https://youtu.be/plL2VDAoThU?t=745 then sped it up for BPM and equalized out the bass frequencies Reich apparently was so happy with it when he heard it he told his record company not to sue the Orb. Reich is one of my favorite composers and is a somewhat unexpected "uncle" to the electronic music revolution. Upon reflection it's not entirely surprising with long repetitive rhythmic passages that are somehow absolutely electrifying. Once you hear his work you realize that his influence is all over modern music. https://youtu.be/edKE10Yz_zs https://youtu.be/edKE10Yz_zs https://youtu.be/ZXJWO2FQ16c https://youtu.be/ZXJWO2FQ16c
