Seconded. Play Xpander on top of Why and I have money that you could almost do a flange.

No. Lolo - Why is no more a ripoff of Xpander than Airwave is of Out of the blue. Minor key changes, same supersaw. Here are some more ripoffs, these even more obvious:

Solid Sleep - Club Attack
Dito - Sky

Klubbingman - Welcome to the club
Skysurfer - Colors

Happens all the time.

The leads are completely different as well as the chord progression in Airwave & OOTB.

The leads and chord progression are almost identical in Xpander & Why.

Like I said, similarities in sound don't count as a ripoff. Nearly identical melody and chord progression does.

They aren't rip offs, they only sound similar. My bad. I misspoke. What was I thinking.

And how Max Graham - Airtight ripped off Airwave(the artist)(or was it vice versa), we can sweep that one under the carpet as well.

EDIT: It's Airtight that rips off Escape From Nowhere.

Or when Zombie Nation ripped off that video game track. Just look here. That's only trance.

My point is that people blow this out of proportion when it's happening all the time. Direct samples are used often and nobody cares. So why should this be any different.

Indeed.

KILL YOURSELVES!

I found this tune very boring...it seems like it never goes anywhere.

Just another cheesey prog track in my opinion.
