Relationship Type "Contains Samples From"

Link Phrases

• track contains samples from track

• track provides samples for track

Description

This relationship gives credit to songs which were sampled from some other released recording. The new song must contain sufficient original material that it can't be considered a "remix" (see RemixRelationshipType) or a "mash-up" (see MashUpRelationshipType).

If a song contains samples from a particular artist, but it isn't known what the original recording is, or the original recording was never released, then you can use the SamplesArtistRelationshipType.

This AdvancedRelationshipType is part of the RemixRelationshipClass.

Relationship Attributes

"additional"

We're still not sure what this is going to mean - see AdditionalRelationshipAttribute for discussion.

Style

The person responsible for selecting or extracting the samples is usually the PrimaryArtist of the work, or the producer (ProducerRelationshipType), depending on genre. You can also use "performed instrument on" with instrument "Sampler" (see PerformerRelationshipType).

Examples

• The song Rockafella Skank by Fatboy Slim includes a sample from the Just Brothers song Sliced Tomato.

• Rise by Gabrielle uses a sample from Bob Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

Discussion

Knockin' on Heaven's Door:

• provides samples for Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise ... , Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise and Rise http://musicbrainz.org/showrel.html?type=track&id=1119263

Uh, OK. I think that when a track is remastered, recompiled or re-released, then it should be assumed that inherits the same relationships from the original track. Because the above is just... excessive
