Sample-Based Music
I love sample based music, its easily my favourite "category" of music but a lot of sample based albums fall under widely different genres, so I'm trying to make a list of all the best sample based albums across all (electronic) genres. Please suggest albums!!
The majority of albums won't be completely made up of samples, but most tracks will have major sampled elements (e.g. Discovery)
Trying to keep it one album per artist, unless multiple albums have largely different sounds
The re-release (version on streaming) had a lot of the samples re-recorded beacuse of clearance issues, but it still has the same vibe and sound as the original version
both of Jamie xx's album have a lot of sampled elements, I just feel In Waves has more obvious samples across the entire tracklist
Similar to the last album, both of Boards of Canada's first two albums have heavy sampled elements throughout, I just feel they play more major parts on mhtrtc
Now I will try to keep to instrumental albums but Madvillainy could basically be considered plunderphonics
kanye's early stuff was the birth of the Chipmunk Soul genre, which is almost completely sample-based
not a huge fan of this album but it's undeniably one of the biggest plunderphonics albums on this site

Easily some of the most iconic and influential sample-based music, considering Ye launched the "Chipmunk Soul" subgenre of "hip-hop" production from his trilogy
