Source of flute melody from Geogaddi found in a YTMND

Except it's not from Geogaddi, it's from whatever source BoC got it from. Listen...

And...try not to stare too hard at the crazy color-changing homer simpson. The music is the important bit.

I could be wrong. Does this entire flute bit occur on Geogaddi? I was under the impression that we only got to hear a piece of it before other samples were layered onto it.

i am so sorry if this has been posted before but i could not find it

It sounds like it's from an Indian musician.

It's from an Incredible String Band song if I recall correctly. You only hear a portion of it on Geogaddi, really. Even in this thing it's not the full song.

YTMND is so full of weird shit it's nice it's come in handy for once.

Yup. Knew it as soon as I heard it.

It's from The Smallest Weird Number. But this confuses me, because the flute sample there was backwards, and this sounds like it's not backwards, but it still has the backwards melody. It makes me suspicious.

I think he meant which ISB song. I honestly can't remember. Maybe polar sky knows...

I did find this post I made from a couple years ago with other juicy sample details...

That gets to me too, with this clip. I was about to make a similar post.

its always strange hearing samples in their original form. good find!

I have to wonder if the person who made that YTMND is also a boards fan. I think the chances are good.

I think this confirms it:

It's not backwards on The Smallest Weird Number, it's just sped up. The tempo change gives it that choppy sound like it would have if the clip was reversed.

EDIT: Although giving the ytmnd clip a second listen, the background noises lead me to believe that the original clip is backwards. Given that, I guess the TSWN clip is backwards too, but not by the hands of BoC.

No, it is backwards. I reversed TSWN and it is definitely forwards that way.

But true, the tempo is sped up.

I remember seeing the attribution of this sample somewhere, but can't remember where...
