fever tree and madvillain
it's fun to discover the source of samples used in songs you love. i got an lp in minneapolis by a band called fever tree. it looked interesting. UNI records and late 60s-looking seemed like a safe bet. when i got home and put it on, it had the crazy bass and guitar break used by madlib in the madvillain album! the fever tree song is kinda annoying as a whole, to be honest. still, it provides some insight into how beats get put together and is a testament to madlib's ear. check out the songs and love 'em.
"99 and one half" by fever tree
