Portishead
Glory Box

Balderdash and King Rizlaa have it right. Since Daydream was recorded in 68 and Rap II in 71, it's chronologically correct that Ike got it from Wallace Collection, then decades later, Portishead, Tricky and I Monster sample it again.

@Spinks True i don't think its a direct sample, although one thing Portishead was famous for was to take a "sample" then play it themselves with there own instruments, then record it back to record... I wouldn't doubt Adrian Utley to have taken the acoustic guitar part and then played it with electric. The only thing that got me on to this was Drapht - Down which heavily samples the Tim Buckley track. So i just needed confirmation first before i submitted something over on the Drapht page.

@Balderdash interesting thought, but I've just listened to the Tim Buckley track and can't hear anything that Portishead sampled from it. Portishead's Adrian Utley plays guitars on their tracks.

I don't know if anybody cares, but it has been killing me the past week because of a song being played on the radio here. If anybody wants to listen to Drapht - Down which contains a sample of Tim Buckleys - Pleasant Street, now pleasant street was sampled by Wallace collection in daydream, Isaac Hayes sampled Daydream, and Portishead sampled Ikes rap II. The reason for the rant is that Ikes Rap II doesn't really have the strong Guitar work that is apparent within glory box. So maybe they sampled Tim Buckley's Pleasant Street too? Noe the reason I bring up Drapht - Down is because that song got me onto it all, even this website!

They must've chopped it up becuase the violin is a combination of the two different melodies.

I agree with Spinks, it is a sample from the Isaac Hayes tune... The thing that baffles me though is how they managed to get the full loop?... when you listen to Isaac Hayes at 0:36, he 'raps' "I took advantage of you" half way through the loop.... was their an instrumental version of this song that they managed to get their hands on or have they spliced together the loop from two different reference points?

I agree with King Rizlaa that Portishead Glory Box has Wallace Collection Daydream baseline

Yep. I'm loving that sound. :-) Shout out to Isaac Hayes !

Spinks said on Saturday, 21 November 2009:
Yes, it's one of my all-time favourites. I personally prefer Tricky's use of the same sample from the same year, in "Hell is Round the Corner" - it just has a darker, grittier edge, but both are amazing.

Wow ! Awesome sample !

Spinks said on Friday, 03 July 2009:
Don't think so - it sounds like they just sampled the whole of Isaac Hayes's tune, including the bassline. But yeah, it does sound somewhat similar to the bassline on "Daydream" too.

Does the Portishead track not use the bassline of the Wallace Collections 'Daydream'??
