Rev. Al Green & The Shock

For those who care, I'll go over all the stuff I used for "The Shock".
(check www.myspace.com/scienceomega)

One day I was really feeling like some Al Green. So I was chilling at the crib with a pint of Jack Daniels and my Al Green collection. Here's what I used for that jawn:

Jesus is Waiting (string hits)
Still In Love With You (crooning during hook)
For The Good Times (organ sample chopped and 'keyed')

The drums came from a couple different Al Green songs too. It was kind of risky 'cause there was stuff playing over the drums (other instruments). I found the quietest part in whatever songs I get 'em from and hoped the sample laying and EQ'ing would obscure the little organ sound that was on top of the snare. That worked out. I don't recommend making a practice of this for logistical reasons.

***okay I think I used Love and Happiness for the drums. I THINK.

FYI: The said three songs are 3 of my FAVORITE songs by The Reverand. I was listening to Al Green's greatest hits driving down South Street last Friday. I tell you. It was a good feeling.

jesus is waiting


i'm still in love with you


for the good times


Chopping and layering samples is fun right!?
