This has probably been mentioned here, but the melody line in "Bennett & Soarez - Light Of Hope" is the hugest rip-off of "Scott Bond vs. Solar Stone - 3rd Earth". Solar Stone even played it on their radio show and mentioned what a rip-off it was, even though they liked the track! At least they were cool about it.

My top 20 tracks of 2006

quote:

Originally posted by Subtle The lead melody in these sounds excactly alike. Paul Oakenfold - Amsterdam Benny Benassi - Love Is Gonna Save Us (Vadim Zhukov Remix)

i thought amsterdam was an update of 'what time is love'.. unless i'm thinking of another oakey track

Unknown Artist - Take Control?(that's what the vocal sample says)
Ferry Corsten - Prison break theme remix(the climax)

2 Brothers on the 4th floor - There's a key steals the tune from Aphrodite's Child - Rain and Tears(a 60's song), and the synth from Dune - Can't Stop Raving. Ironically, Verena(of Dune) covered Rain and Tears around 2002-2003.

Unknown - Take My Hand?,
ravers choice - Techno Wonderland,
also similar: the chorus of Trinity - Like the Sun

Real Mccoy - one more time
A7 - Piece of Heaven
Dune - Heaven. This was so similar to PoH they got slapped with a copyright infringement lawsuit and couldn't release it, don't know how A7 got away with ripping off One More Time. However, Akira(same producers as Cascada, different singer) later did a cover of PoH without legal trouble, ironically, Central Seven also remixed this version.

I don't think this has been posted yet:

Inner City - Big Fun (1988)
Rhythm Republic - Into The Groove/Into The Dub(2006)

These are pretty much the same as Big Fun with some added 2006 Big Room House sounds

Does anyone know if Rhythm Republic is Kevin Saunderson or Juan Atkins?

the riffs of big fun & good life have been ripped off since forever.

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

Rank 1 - Symsonic

the melody is used for 16 bars in Wrecked Machines - High Hopes.

It's actually quite well done too

Is the tune for Rank 1 - Symsonic based on a classical or movie soundtrack piece?

The chorus of GoGo Girls - Yellow Magic resembles that of Madonna - Material Girl(or is it too common not to be a coincidence?)

X-soul - Nightlife(download from ctgmusic.com or soundclick.com, i thin k) sounds like Dj Dean - Play it Hard

'Shiloh - Cafe del Mariachi'
&
'Nathan Fake - The Sky was Pink (Holden remix)'

Probably already posted?
I really like both these tracks actually

Next event: Exit Festival 2011 @ Novi Sad, Serbia

Spacey & Vaughan - Earth (2002)
Tiesto - Ten Seconds Before Sunrise (2007)

C-Quence - Endorphine. The tune sounds familiar, as if from an old dream. Anyone heard tracks that sound like this?
