wolfus Group: Members Posts: 15 Joined: July 2006 Posted: Jan. 07 2011, 01:38 Has anybody else noticed that the first few seconds of Kanye's Dark Fantasy contain a quote from In High Places, from Crises? As in: "can we get much higher?" Amazing, really. Kanye on Amazon Back to top

BubbaMc Group: Members Posts: 14 Joined: Sep. 2010 Posted: Jan. 07 2011, 02:31 That's a pretty generic lyric though, most likely a coincidence. Personally I can't see Kayne listening to Oldfield's music. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Jan. 07 2011, 17:36 @ Harmono: "Celtic Rain" (the piece sampled by Snoop) is an Irish traditional, so it's not really Mike. But the way it sounds resembles a lot Mike's version of it, so... another little bit of thievery. And no royalties to pay here, because, as I said, the music is traditional. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

wolfus Group: Members Posts: 15 Joined: July 2006 Posted: Jan. 08 2011, 00:53 No. It's not just the lyric - it's the melody as well. Don't tell me there's actually no-one left here who has actually heard In High Places? Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Jan. 08 2011, 02:22 Wolfus - yes, it's in the melody as well - "can we get much higher." So definately Mike's. Wish they'd included the "navigator to heaven" words - that's my favourite part.   -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

It says on my copy of Voayager that four tracks (Mont St Michel, Wild Goose Flaps its Wings, Voyager and Celtic Rain) are by Mike Oldfield. The rest, it says, are traditional (except The Song of the Sun, which is by Bieito Romero). Back to top

Anyway, I wouldn't trust the "official" credits on the Voyager sleeve too much: they say that "Women of Ireland" is traditional, and it isn't. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Jan. 11 2011, 18:44 Quote (BubbaMc @ Jan. 07 2011, 02:31) That's a pretty generic lyric though, most likely a coincidence. Personally I can't see Kayne listening to Oldfield's music. Even though Hip Hop is not really represented in my playlist (except if you count DJ Shadow's Endtroducing as an example), I know that those musicians tend to be very eclectic and gather a very diverse array of sources; Kanye samples King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man in that very same album. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Found it: http://tubular.net/forums....l=kanye Thought I was going nuts for a while there. And it's from November...after I joined in October...just saying like...though why my mentioning we had a topic from a while ago should imply I've been here under another name still baffles me... -------------- The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

Hey Kazav - don't take any notice! Last week had us all wondering who was who after Milamber's Finale Award. Think it's back to normal now. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.

Strange to use the lake of all songs! In general, I really dislike when they do this though I think it's not fair to take the credit... probably almost no one knew it was taken from MO.. -------------- New free album out: http://www.bobthescreamer.com/music/twinety-twine/ Back to top
