Where does Burial get his "girl next door" samples

[tavravlavish]

burial actually goes out when its raining at 4 in the morning and records "urban angels" while the street lights are dim but still very alive

... im trying to make fun of burial but cant seem to think of anything funny.

Just jack them from Youtube.

I use AudioHijack on Mac, not sure if it's PC.

Total recorder is good for PC

The fact that he can jack vocals from some seriously dodgy tracks and make them sound awesome is sick.

i'm pretty sure he's sampled destiny's child as well..

There's a song on untrue which sounds like table tennis being played, I imagine it's a film sample, it's on one of the beatless songs....

Agreed, they sound nothing like the original.

In terms of vocal tones, you can't beat a really poppy RnB track. Pitch them up or down and you get that classis garage type sound. Synkro also uses this technique and has sampled some VERY poppy tracks that I wouldn't ever listen to in their original form.

Horses for courses, i like to use vocals that aren't perfectly in tune, and aren't taken from an R+B tune, hearing Indian chanting, mezzuin chants prayers and folk stuff, can give you a much more 'ghostly' and 'realistic' effect. I use this a fair bit, but then again, I'm not saying i don't use R+B vocals!

Also it's cool to mix these vocals up, have a perfectly in tune one playing against a not so perfect vocal is far more interesting to me, plus i get more enjoyment out of it as results and counter melodies can be surprising.

Does anyone know the female vocals in "Shell of Light?" The woman is singing "Love you so" - Who is she!? Her voice is so beautiful.
