As you'll be aware I am a fan of the internet, music, popular culture and so on. I'm going to display in quite a subjective manner the power of new media in terms of access to high art by using Youtube to link the popular late 1990's Playstation game Parappa the Rappa to J.S. Bach via hip-hop and Kraut Rock. Admittedly first of all one must be curious and seek out the source of audio samples but the game is simple enough, like the Bacon Factor but for art or music.
The Parappa the Rappa car Rap >>>>>>
Is based on the Busdriver track Avantcore >>>>>
Which samples Kraut rock Doyens Can >>>>>>
And in doing so shows a predilection in Busdriver for sampling great German Music >>>>>
And so we finish with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra's rendition of J.S.Bach's Bwv1067 Orchestral Suite - 07 - Badinerie
