After publishing that last post, I realized that I’ve left this track, which I originally posted as a test during class, on my blog for a while.  At first I meant to delete it, but then Hunter commented on it, so I thought, what the hey, it’s fine where it is.  But the crazy (prophetic?) thing is that it’s by DJ Shadow, from his album Endtroducing, which received a lot of attention when it was released (in 1994, I believe) for being constructed ENTIRELY OF SAMPLES!  It’s also just really, really good, but now that it’s very much on topic, I suggest you give it a listen and see what you think.
