i should be more clear
it blows my mind that someone did this 13 years ago
AND just how much it takes to do the same thing today
really inspiring, honestly

Bear in mind some of the methods used in the video weren't necessarily used back then. Liam would not have timestretched anything for instance.

That was pretty impressive, but like Joey previously stated, the true amazing thing here is how this was done 13 years ago, seriously blows my mind, fucking respect!

well, no.. certainly not the way we can do it now by just grabbing an audio region with a mouse and visually stretching it at will while listening to the results... but yes, you could definitely time stretch back then, as the original track shows.
it's really amazing how well this guy recreated this track... i just downloaded this new version and A/B'ed against the original.... damned good job.
i played a fest in Denmark (Roskilde) with Konkhra in the '90's, and The Prodigy were playing as well and i got to meet them in the backstage areas... interesting guys (i met Helena Christiansen that night too and she was actually really nice and took some pics with me... she smoked like a chimney though).

I notice you guys aint that used to oldschool samplers? 
Timestretching etc. is no problem on the Akai S-3000 for instance.
And in fact, its kind of similar creating something like this on a sampler as it is to do it on a daw.. the difference is that in the sampler you have to turn a wheel to move your marker and go through a bunch of menus to cut/paste/move/stretch etc.
But yeah, definitely impressive that this was made back then.

yes... i briefly owned an S-3000 back then.. and i still own the Kurzweil K2000S i had back then..... and as i said... yes, you could time-stretch back then... just not the way you do it now.

Dopefish lives!
This is already very impressive, but when I think about what Aphex Twin and Squarepusher did around the same time... mind blowing!

I love this gain
I like the way he figured it out. Sounds quite close to the original.

AFAIK, the S3000 doesn't do TRUE time-stretching. It does a fwd/rev playhead manipulation.
IIRC.
