“Steal” if you don’t give a self-respecting artist with incredible integrity working for decades with tracks everywhere the benefit of the doubt that he mistook a demo amongst probably thousands of demos for his own.
This is not stealing though. It doesn’t seem it happened more than once.
Uhm yeah, I was just forwarding some source that @aloud asked about. In my opinion Jeff Mills handled the situation pretty well
Maybe there’s something else that @Castor was referring to, I don’t know.
I was aware of the Parmegiani piece, but I had no idea it was just sitting there on a Jeff Mills album. That’s really odd.
What’s even stranger is that there’s hardly any mention of it anywhere on the internet.
Probably bc not many ppl are familiar with the work of both of them
Yep there’s 2 separate issues being discussed here, re Jeff Mills.
Clear as water
There’s a WATMM thread about Parmegiani that mentions it, and points out a 2014 comment on the discogs.com release. But not much else.
Radiohead almost did it with the melody in Idioteque, but somebody spotted it before release and they credited Paul Lansky. Accidentally nicking an entire track is careless though.
Oh? What’s the source for this?
Greenwood could not remember where the four-chord synthesiser phrase had come from, and assumed he had played it himself. He later realised he had sampled it from mild und leise, a computer music piece by the American composer Paul Lansky.
Ok that is….weird, I admit. I still want to give him the benefit of the doubt (maybe it’s a wink at “memory”?), but without proper credit (and I haven’t seen one), that raises some eyebrows.
I mean it sounds to me totally identical. Aphex and Radiohead etc changed their “samples” up…this is untouched.
This thread understands me better than any of my closest lovers, friends or family
Humble brag with the plural use of lovers?
Freal, sounds like weve got a gutarist in our midst!
