I wholeheartedly recommend the documentary "Alchemists of Sound", which showcases Radiophonic Workshop's history and methods. Some of the included music clips are true ear-openers of what was possible back in the 50s and 60s, using "only tape".

when I think of sampled music, the first thing that comes to mind is The Chemical Brothers. They are probably the most current globally successful group that sample pretty much everything these days. They have done tracks that include MCs and rappers although they are not Hip Hop.

yes yes and yes - the most treasured .mov on my system!

Googling around for this will yield a really good stereo version of this.

interesting thread!
i got a few that weren't in the main lists and i think that can only be through oversight or my poor reading:
marley marl
hi-tek
herbaliser
massive attack (early stuff)
portishead (ditto)
Aim (early)
rae & Christian (early)
people under the stairs
cut chemist & dj numark
z trip
dj cam
ugly duckling
nightmares on wax
others that i rate highly but are a bit more left of field are:
thievery corp (early)
dj day
a ko
london funk all stars
greyboy
some lemon jelly
mr scruff
runaways
rjd2
harmonic 33
danny breaks
express rising
resin dogs
avalanches (the lp with since i left you on it is all samples; mainly thanks to dj kuya)
katalyst
blunted stylus
early groove armada also.

a lot of these groups in both lists have moved on from solely sampling, and play stuff over the top or layer live stuff and remove the sample, or even get the samples replayed by a band, but its still a sampling ear they have...

"It Takes A Nation of Millions..." is probably the better album, but the soundscape created in "Fear Of A Black Planet" is pretty sophisticated. The track "Welcome To The Terrordome" is absolutely chilling, & harder than hard! DAMN!

yo jeskola, did you do all the digging to find this shadow sample track list out yourself? if so thats some impressve investigation...! and if not thanks for the list anyways. it has been mentioned already mind, so was far from being ignored by any of us beat freaks

you do realise that unkle (1st album) was really shadow, and that JL contributed pretty much nada to the brew, except asking shadow to chop this or that sample, so i've heard (suspect its the truth too).
in relation to fear/ takes a nation, i think they can almost be seen as parts 1 and 2 of a study in sampling. nation is more iconic, but i feel they perfected their wall of sound with fear esp with terrodome, fight the power, 911 is a joke war on 33 1/3 and b side wins again, there's a couple more too but its been a while since i played the whole album.
pop will eat itself were also pretty good when it came to sampling especially their slices of classic films like the warriors
