Talk:LK (Carolina Carol Bela)

Some confusing bits
I have added some WS and other trivial cleanup. But I'm having trouble parsing some of the body. Perhaps some clarification?


 * LK was made in 2002 after DJ Marky gave up on recreating Ed Rush and Optical's Wormhole.

I take this to mean DJ Marky was working on another song but didn't finish it. If so, I'm not sure why this is mentioned at all. It doesn't seem to be connected in any way?


 * LK was originally an instrumental, apart from muted vocal samples towards the end, was recorded in XRS's studio, and samples Toquinho & Jorge Ben's "Carolina Carol Bela", the B-side of "Que Maravilha".

This is confusing... were the "muted vocal samples" recorded in XRS's studio? Or was the whole song recorded there? Is this saying:


 * LK was recorded in XRS's studio. It was originally an instrumental, apart from muted vocal samples towards the end and samples from Toquinho & Jorge Ben's "Carolina Carol Bela", the B-side of "Que Maravilha".

If this is a correct reading, what is the difference between "muted vocal samples" and "samples from Toquinho..."? Are these both references to the same samples, or is it that DJ Marky added some vocal samples of his own?


 * After coming back from XRS' studio, DJ Marky walked in on his mother washing up, and gave the track the working title "Liquid Kitchen".

Which, I assume, is the "LK". But I'm confused about the "(Carolina Carol Bela)" part of the name... I see where it comes from, but I'm not sure why it is in the title of the article? I'm not familiar with D&B, is this a sort of "featuring" name drop?


 * After finding crowds were singing "It's the Way" during performances, they brought Stamina MC into the studio to record an official version

Ok, here's my real confusion. Who "brought Stamina MC into the studio". Who is "they"? Am I correct that DJ Marky decided to record a new version of the song, and invited Stamina MC to work on that version with him?


 * The track has been described as "seminal" by NME."

Seminal in what context? Did it launch a new style of music? DJ Marky's career? I'm the seminal me, but I suspect there is more to it than that. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:23, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The best articles usually give a small amount of background for historical context, so if that's what Marky was doing before compiling LK, then this article should probably mention it. The vocals also come from "Carolina Carol Bela" and I've updated the article accordingly. It was my understanding that DJs played instrumentals and wore noise-cancelling headphones, so presumably had no idea what Stamina MC was up to, and that all he did in the studio was annotate the existing instrumental with his vocals. I also assumed NME meant "seminal" as influential.-- Laun chba ller 12:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
