Justice's Dodgy Samples 2008-11-27 by badtaste | 14 Comments | In an interview with MTV, electronic duo Justice admitted that their debut album, 'Cross', featured up to 400 uncleared samples.
Quote:
"If you listen to 'Genesis', the first track, there are samples of Slipknot, Queen and 50 Cent, but they are such short samples no one can recognise them. The ones from Slipknot, for example, are just tiny bits of the voice", de Rosnay told MTV.
He then went on to explain the writing and recording process: "On the album, we used three big samples that we had to clear, and all the rest are just impossible to recognise," he continued. "We're using the very short samples to improve the sound, because we are just writing melodies on piano and then we are listing each note taken from other records, so we make a trade between those notes and the proper loops."

de Rosnay also stated that Justice were working on a new full length album.
Meanwhile, Justice’s DVD/live album, 'A Cross the Universe', will be released November 25 in North America.

slipknot?! haha who knew....
| | | can't believe i listened to these thieves 
| | | i kno rite
| | | if I remember correctly it is legal to use a sample from a licenced work as long as it is unrecognisable from the original content
| | | A bit dodgy, more tea miss yorkenshire.
| | | yeh Meatplow i think it's legal as long as it doesn't compromise the original's commercial integrity or some shitl ike that
| | | This calls for a Slipknot, 50 Cent and Queen collab.

I'm fine with that, but...

Oh god! Please no! ANYTHING but that! (unless you take out the 50 Cent and Slipknot. Hmmm...)
| | | ZOMG! DJs?? Sampling??!! WTF????
| | | Doesn't matter, Justice are completely amazing and I'm looking forward to their new record very much.
| | | To the brother above, amen.
| | | Hopefully the new album won't be a carbon copy of Cross
| | | Sampled??? Who cares.
This is an electronic act so I hardly see how this is news. They basically admitted to what every electronic act already does anyways.
| | | Yeah, without samples where would Daft Punk be?... Shouldn't be a surprise, all electronic acts sample, its just a fact of life
