Mystery159 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Which recording did Dj Seduction sample for Sub Dub (I mean the "Bushes and Briars" vocal?)I've got about 6 versions, and none of them is the one used. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humana Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Old thread I know. But I've always been interested to find the source for this too. I do a bit of searching for it now and then. Today I came across this youtube video: I noticed that the voice sounded really similar to the Sub Dub sample, but it's obviously not the actual source. Someone posted a comment on the vid saying it is actually Caroline Lavelle singing on the clip, so I listened to a few other vids of her and it does really sound like the original source could be from her. However, looking at her discogs entry, she doesn't seem to have done much before 1995. But whether she made some other guest appearances before that aren't yet listed, I don't know. Thoughts anyone?

MrMooncat Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 i dont think its her myself, here is a link to the track its from her "distant bell" album ;-) http://www.carolinelavelle.com/audio/bushes.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humana Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Presumably that's a recent recording though. She may have done another recording in the early nineties or something. Do you not think the voice sounds similar though? Of all the versions I've heard, her voice sounds the closest. I'm not sure about Maddy Prior. I can't find a version by her to listen to, but listening to her other stuff, it just doesn't seem to be the right voice. Not that I'm some voice expert of course, I could so easily be wrong!

MrMooncat Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 dont forget the vocal is sped up, that may have some bearing, its close but i still think its soemeone else, julie cristie sung it as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procleus Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Which recording did Dj Seduction sample for Sub Dub (I mean the "Bushes and Briars" vocal?)I've got about 6 versions, and none of them is the one used. Does anyone know? I am very certain it is sampled from Swingle Singers. Obviously sped up and eq'd. Hope that helps. P.S: Sub Dub is my favorite Seduction track!

H_M_M Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 is it maybe the Eliza carthy version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentasm Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 the record was sampled on 45rpm so it sounded pitched up but not in a digital way like it had been pitched in a sampler I did have a recording of that vocal section but i dont think it was labelled so i dont know who it was originally, think i found it either on here, backtotheoldskool or doa forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humana Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2_HcoMLe4 No idea if this vocal was originally recorded for this tune or nicked from somewhere else, but this is obviously where Seduction took it from.

haste Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Oh gosh!! http://recollectionbooks.com/bleed/images/BB/bomb6.gif How did you find it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humana Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'd read somewhere else that it was the Bumble tune, but could never find it for download or on youtube, so I just check youtube every now and then to see if someone's uploaded it. Thankfully they finally have! Regarding the live acappella thing, I'm not sure. The vocals seem suspiciously well timed to be sampled from something that was performed live. When you hear people do this song live, the timing is usually completely arbitrary because there's no backing track and I imagine it wouldn't fit very well with something that has a locked BPM. Having said that, if it was recorded specifically for this track, you'd think the vocalist would have got a credit on the record label considering it plays such a major part in the tune!
