      deltron 3030 too which in my opinion is by far one of the best hip hop records ever. Shit, I listen to all kinds of music and I'd say its one of the best concept albums out of any genre of music. And yeah Dr Octagon is amazing too.

  • @soundsystem00
    @soundsystem00 Před 3 lety +4

    That’s so cool how Dan was talking about the benefits of vinyl because yesterday I was trying to convince my friend to by her son a record player who is 13 and just discovering sampling and a lot of other music related things. Also he’s a drummer. Anyway I was mentioning how the art is much easier to check out and that it feels more like the beat is in your hand so it’s easier to find little sections of music to record for sampling. I mean that’s a pretty common reason someone would recommend vinyl over digital that I mentioned but it’s just the timing that’s really cool because yesterday I mention it and today I find a video of “Dan the Automater” mentioning it as well. I have been listening to Deltron3030 more lately, especially since I realized it has literally been years since I have listened to the whole album. I listened to it in Sf just out of random one day and now I have started all over again and I was so happy to find this video.
