luke vibert The Aphex Twin rip-offs

Hey I saw this in /mu/:

  Quote

Anything by Aphex Twin.

Also, Film is an old jazz musical from somewhere, I recognised that has a rip off instantly from the tinkle sound in the melody (the original was vocals, kind of like how they sung in chitty chitty bang bang or something). Would love to find that film again, actually.

 

Xtal uses an enigma vocal and classical melody. He was ripping of FSoL, of whom are crap, too because they were second wave mainstream new age bullshit. David Guetta unintentionally had the same bassline in one of his songs, too. Aphex Twin tried to sue but David Guetta showed the original.

 

Actium is also a rip off of the melody from an old TV programme for kids.

 

Pulsewidth was a rip off of an old techno rave anthem.

 

Ageispolis is also a rip off from a detroit techno song, there was even a music video, it had people doing the locking dance like in breakin2 electric boogaloo.

 

And that's all of Aphex Twin's best songs which are terrible anyway, so.

 

Also, Funny Little Man was Luke Vibert's idea, Aphex Twin stole it.

 

Come to Daddy (Pappy mix) was a rip off a mid west breakcore anthem. X ray dog (a film score artist) also did a version before AFX if I remember.

Is this true? I remember there's indeed a track pretty similar to Pulsewidth before SAW was released... But dunno! :P

yes my son, everything is true, you need to be strong now !

"Aphex Twin tried to sue but David Guetta showed the original."

lol

Hahah wtf??? Might be somewhat interesting if they actually gave a single name of any of these songs.....

you are refering to the planet mu messageboard? are you from the past?

I'm not sure if you can call the SAW-era melodies rip-offs considering most of them are like five notes long

No, he's refering to 4chan's music board

By the way, the whole RDJ album is a rip-off of various songs but I don't remember the name of any of them

Yeah, the fact the poster troll doesn't cite anything, like that "old techno rave anthem", I find some, not all, of their claims spurious at best.

Pretty sure the Pulsewidth one is true

And what is the "techno rave anthem" in question then?

I think he was talking about 4chan, which makes his point less valid.

Don't know but I remember a friend showing me it and then listening to it on Youtube

Believe me if you wish. I think the others are bunk though but I'm pretty sure the Pulsewidth one is real.

EDIT: Nvm it might have been Heliosphan. But I specifically remember that one of the SAW2 basslines were blatantly sampled from some track

There was a discussion in watmm a few months ago where a pulsewidth or heliosphan antecedent was pointed out. Definitely ripped that shit off. But other than that it looks like bs. The fact that the poster thinks a handful of saw 85 tracks are afx's best work indicates that he has some mental problems and should not be taken seriously

Mozart "ripped off" Joseph Boulogne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. All great artists build upon the art to which they are exposed. You can call it "ripping off" if you want to, but it's the way it works. RDJ has, like all great artists, taken from the art around him, sometimes copying it closely, but often tweaking it substantially, or adding something purely creative to make it his own.

As someone already mentioned, many of the claimed "rip-offs" may be spurious, but even if they aren't, I would be neither surprised nor concerned.

After like a half hour of digging I found it, the pulsewidth precedent

Still like pulsewidth better but the similarities are remarkable

The first three chords are almost identical but in a different key. of course they're different songs but i can hear definite similarities

Aphex also ripped off Flashbulb when making Alberto Balsam.

Everybody takes from everybody, its not a crime its the nature of music.

I'm not sure you'd be this diplomatic ("That's the way it goes in music") if it was Venetian Snares ripping Richard's tracks off.

Anyway, I don't see where there should be ripping off on Pulsewidth. It's three chords A->B->C->C played on a synthie, think I've heard that before. Similar to e.g. On, by the way, Richard uses that chord sequence a lot (and I can never seem to grow tired of it).
