Oakenfold ripoff??

Okay, listen to
Faithless - Crazy English Summer (Hiver and Hammer Mix),
then listen to
Underworld - Born Slippy (Paul Oakenfold Mix)...notice the same samples and breakdowns, unless Oakey credited Hiver and Hammer for that, I think he is phuked up for that.

hehe,

Oakey sometimes 'forgets' to credit artists.... Take Zoo York for example which he managed to get on his album before clearing the sample - ooops!

Yeah, I've noticed that. Oakenfold has ripped all the ideas and the hole concept that Hiver & Hammer used in their remix on Faithless. He almostly just recreated the tune in another key, did some similar riffs with slight changes and constructed all around the Underworld vocal samples. It is a good tune, but Oakie is a real badass, quite lame.
