| Quote (Sir Mustapha @ June 15 2005, 21:25) | | In 2001 or so, I wrote a song (it's on Musics For Highways, btw) that has a small, constant piano line. And when I heard "The Velvet Underground & Nico" for the first time a few weeks ago, I found out the piano line is fairly similar to the glockenspiel theme on 'Sunday Morning'. |
This is funny, Sir M... Way back in 1990, I heard Elton John's "Daniel" for the very first time [I swear this is true!  ], and learned to play it. In August 1992, after almost one year since I last heard that song, I was in Canada, I had a keyboard to doodle on and I came up with a tune. I played it to a cousin of mine, who lives there, and he said: «This is "Daniel" by Elton John». What's even funnier is that the more I re-play my tune (I've done various arrangements of it since then), the more I realize that "Daniel" doesn't sound at all like it, not even remotely - not to my ears, at least.  But if my cousin said what he said, something must have surely, even subconsciously, slipped in. 
Back on topic: What I meant, above here, is not that Mr. Wander is a liar, I'm not accusing anybody of anything. I meant that I think he is wrong, because I think that there are no recognizable similarities between Mike's music and his. Although Mike (like me) may certainly have been influenced - by the Magma piece and by many other things, Bach in primis , I don't think he stole anything at all from Magma.
