Haven't listened to this for a good 15 years... forgot how good it is, and the production is amazing. Sounded absolutely fantastic on the old headphones.
but it never was that obvious, imo. ti sento is almost a 1:1 copy .. and well, have a look at this ... they took elements from four different songs (I think the guy who made the video forgot to mention Tat & Zat - Proud to be Loud) and are now probably earning more money than each of the four artists ever did .. but oh well, can't blame them - it's the guys who buy it
on topic: Deichkind - Luftbahn
EDIT: oh, and I have to quote technoboy's letter concerning ti sento
It's always obvious when it comes to Scooter's songs. Heck, I don't even know how he keeps doing it without any lawsuits against him.
Still, the electronic music scene is based on ripping stuff off other people and, from that perspective, Scooter does a reasonably good job. While most people in the business like to pretend that it's all about the music, he's not ashamed to state through his work that he's in for the money and doesn't see any problems in sampling other people's work in order to make his own songs. I'm not a fan of hardcore, but many of his songs (as well as other, probably sampled as well, artists' music) reach the maximum level of joy possible for me to get from listening to them. His ripping off of Where The Streets Have No End is truly dreadful, I'll give you that.
Although ripping stuff from another hardcore producer might indeed be crossing the line....
