I see your point, but is that really much of a
headstart?  When I hear somebody like AMon Tobin,
the way he puts samples together to make a song
is so incredible and took such an obvious amount
of work, that the fact that they're samples
doesn't even become an issue for me.  Is it
really that big a difference if the phrases you
use come from your LP collection instead of your
subconcious?
