Shit went full circle, I'm a DOOM Fan, but then I also started being more interested in Jazz unrelated, with the likes of Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, I was listening to this then when the intro came in, it really hit me.

I'm the exact opposite, I'd heard this a bunch of times and immediately recognized it when I listened to Madvillainy for the first time
@David19225
I agree, but why is it wrong to find music because of a sample? The ones that complain about that are the ones who do nothing to educate people on great composers & musicians like Bill Evans. At least people like Madlib brings exposure to these artists for younger people to hear.

Right I remember this dude from my childhood getting mad about p diddy sampling The Police. Think it's just cause he's a little racist to be honest
@AndrewScott1337
Sampling keeps this music alive and exposes new audiences to it, I love it!

So true and learnt this lesson from my son. It’s an inverted snobbery. That said, Paul Bley was a much more interesting pianist. Evans is saccharine. With Paul it’s like losing the sugar, but how much better the coffee!
