No, this post is not about a Fleetwood Mac song. Listen closely, and within the very first few seconds, you’ll notice heavy similarities between this song and a song I’ve referenced countless times on this blog. Fleetwood Mac’s “Seven Wonders” is heavily sampled by Pictureplane in his landmark rave jam “Goth Star”, from 2009’s “Dark Rift”. Unfortunately, while Pictureplane has a remarkable ability to fuck things up for the better, the original song is what makes “Goth Star” such a kickass anthem. Mildly buzzkilling, but then again who doesn’t sample these days? Visit Whosampled to “explore and discuss the DNA of music”, and also for a really neat resource to determine what was sampled in some of your favorite retro chillwave tunes.
Here’s what I found out about Pictureplane, Star Slinger, and Teengirl Fantasy. Really interesting thing to check out, as long as you do tha right thing and don’t hate!
