    Just curious as to what samples everybody is getting sick of hearing…i for one could go without hearing another sample from V for Vendetta for a few years

    Any other annoyances?  perhaps dumb samples that just don't make any sense in the song you wish they would jsut leave out.  Particularily i've heard a few South African producers user random lines from the Underworld movies…enough to make me not want to play the track out.

    also, you don't hear this in trance really, but i think gun samples (gunshots, etc.) are super fucking lame.

    Agreed.  I wrote a song with a band, after I left the band, they recorded it.  Of course then, made it cheap and retarded with a shotgun blast right in the middle.  Uh huh, Uh huh, lets put one them there shotgun blasts smack dab in the middle of our diddy, uh huh, uh huh. ::)

    gun samples are pretty dumb

    however, it would be awesome, now that some djs now use live instruments at performances, if they shot a real gun off!

    Only if it's an old school muzzleloader.

    Artificial horn / artificial flute … just bad synth imitations of real instruments.  I guess this would go for some guitar, too. 

    As far as movie samples go…I guess the intent is to make the track sound more profound…?  I kinda groan when it's sourced from something really obvious like a Pixar movie.  My least favorite moment on Cosmosis “Psychedelica Melodica” (which is otherwise a FINE album) was the Finding Nemo clips.

    Stuff from “I, Robot”
    Frequently when I'm listening to internet radio I'll catch the sample “There have always been ghosts in the machine…”

    I seem to run into a lot of stuff from Chronicles of Riddick too

    Anything sampled from The Matrix series. They are so overdone.

    Another one: anything from Lord Of The Rings series. I am sick of the spoken word pieces that have been sampled into tracks.

    There's one really bothering me lately:

    “It's like that drug trip I saw in that movie when I was on that drug trip!”

    I've heard it in at least three different tracks now. 😛 ::)

    Haha, futurama owns 🙂  I've heard a track with that sample in there.  Aeon- “There For Party” has the best futurama samples in it.
