As early as during microphoning of the set and recording of individual samples, we took great care to replicate realistic circumstances. Although doing so is almost impossible, we broke with tradition in sample recording, which calls for capturing every sound individually; Instead, our studio drummer played entire grooves. Then, we cut most of the necessary sounds out of the grooves, in various velocities, and processed them to deliver samples as realistic as possible. This is especially clear with our hi-hat samples, for instance. On the right-hand side, you can listen to demo tracks to hear the impressive results.

I love this band so much. I love THEM. At the beginning of this record, I spent a week in Atlanta with the guys (Ali was away) and every second of it was hilarious and wonderful. It's always scary to walk into somebody else's community, but the guys made me feel almost Irish.
"A bonjourier has always a gentlemanly appearance, and his shoesalways well made and thin. He gives the preference to kid before anyother leather, and takes care to bruise and break the sole that it maynot creak or make any noise; sometimes the sole is made of felt; atother times, and especially in winter, the kid slipper, or dogskin shoe,is replaced by list shoes, with which they can walk, go up stairs, ordescend a staircase, without any noise. The theft au bonjour, iseffected without violence, without skeleton keys, without burglariouslyentering. If a thief sees a key in a door of a room, he first knocksvery gently, then a little harder, then very loudly; if no personanswers, he turns the handle, and thus enters the antechamber.He then advances to the eating-room, penetrates even to the adjoiningapartments, to see if there be any person there; returns, and if the keyof the sideboard is not to be seen, he looks in all the places in whichhe knows it is generally deposited, and if he finds it, he instantlyuses it to open the drawers, and taking out the plate, he places itgenerally in his hat, after which, he covers it with a napkin, or finecambric handkerchief, which, by its texture and whiteness, announces thegentleman. Should the bonjourier, whilst on his enterprise, hearany person coming, he goes straight towards him, and accosting him,wishes him good morning (le bonjour) with a smiling[pg 165]and almostfamiliar air, and inquires if it be not Monsieur 'such a one,' to whomhe has the honour of addressing himself. He is directed to the storyhigher or lower, and, then still smiling, evincing the utmost politenessand making a thousand excuses and affected bows, he withdraws. It may sohappen, that he has not had time to consummate his larceny, but mostfrequently the business is perfected, and the discovery of loss onlymade too late to remedy it.
We need hardly be told why Vidocq has withheld the informationrespecting the state of crime in France, which he promised, and made agrand parade of possessing. The length to which his Memoirs have beenspun out is tedious, and the air of romance which he has given to somescenes in the concluding volume, almost invalidates its forerunners.Still we are bound to confess that his adventures are equal in interestto any work of fact or fiction that has appeared for several years.We omit the translations of some slang songs, one of which appearedrecently in Blackwood's Magazine; still, they are exceedinglyclever in their way.
The most ancient part of the church is of the order usually calledSaxon, and from tradition is said to have been built in the time ofHarold, predecessor of William I. But there is no history or writteninstrument of any kind now extant, concerning the origin of thisstructure. The two side aisles are of pure Norman architecture.The choir was built in the reign of Edward III. as appears by a licenseof the eleventh year of that king's reign, to the chapter, to getstones from a quarry in Shirewood Forest for building the choir. Thechapter-house is a detached building, connected by a cloister withthe north aisle of the choir, and is on the model of that at York.The arch of entrance from the aisle, is said to exceed in elegance andcorrectness of execution, almost every thing of the kind in the kingdom;the chapter-house is of Gothic architecture, and the arch forming theapproach is considered of modern insertion, the sculpture being finerand more delicate than any thing near it. This church and Ripon aresaid to be the only parochial, as well as collegiate, churches now inEngland, the rest having been dissolved by Henry VIII. or hissuccessors.
After his apprenticeship, he worked a short time for a person in HattonGarden; but he disliked London extremely, still panting for his nativehome, to whose braes and bonny banks he joyously returned; where he wasoccupied in cutting figures and ornaments for books; and now receivedhis first prize from the Society of Arts for[pg 174]the "Old Hound," in anedition of Gay's Fables. A glance at this cut will show what alow state wood-engraving was at, when a public society deemed it worthya reward; yet even in this are readily visible some lines and touches ofthe future great master of this delicious art. He never omitted visitingitinerant caravans of animals, from whose living looks and attitudes hemade spirited drawings. This led to his History of Quadrupeds,1790; the first block, however, of which, he cut the very day of hisfather's death, Nov. 15, 1785. From this work he obtained veryconsiderable celebrity; which led him shortly to draw and engrave thewild bull at Chillingham, Lord Tankerville's, the largest of all hiswood-cuts, impressions of which have actually been sold at twentyguineas each; and also the zebra, elephant, lion, and tiger, for Pidcock(Exeter 'Change,) copies whereof are now extremely scarce and valuable.He also executed some curious works on copper, to illustrate a Tourthrough Lapland, by Matthew Consett, Esq.; and his Quadrupedshaving passed through seven editions, his fame was widely and wellestablished. The famous typographer, Bulmer, of the Shakspeare Press(a native of Newcastle,) now employed John Bewick, who, at the age offourteen, had also been aprenticed to Bielby, in co-operation withhis brother Thomas, to embellish a splendid edition of Goldsmith'sDeserted Village and Hermit, Parnell's Poems, and Somerville'sChase. The designs and execution of these were so admirable andingenious, that the late king, George III. doubted their being workedon wood, and requested a sight of the blocks, at which he was equallydelighted and astonished. It is deeply to be lamented we have so fewspecimens of the talents of John Bewick, who died of a pulmonarycomplaint, 1795, at the early age of thirty-five. 2ff7e9595c
