So, while I am already not too fond of Trance music lately, for the last 4/5 years, I occassionally find a cool track, but today comes the biggest WTF ever. I was on Audiojelly, checking out some new releases and clicked Activa - End of Summer. And what the ? It's just one big ing rip-off of Ferry's 'Galaxia'. How does a producer get away this? Why in the hell does a producer do this? Why the hell does a label even sign this? Do the people at the label not even think it's just a blatant rip-off of 'Galaxia'? The Trance scene is ed up enough, as it is, with all those weener-Trance releases, but this one just takes the cake. Someone makes a track, rips off another track, and even gets signed. What the ing .

ur reading into this way too much...im listening to the song right now, it has minor similarities but its not a friggin ripoff, ease up. activa is talented, he doesnt need to steal songs from other dj's. the song has similar melodies and sounds to it, big deal.

blank and jones gets away with bigger rip offs

it doesnt have minor melody, its almost exactly the same.

Is it just my subconscious hearing the strings in the background or are there actually Galaxia strings, though very subtle in there?
Sounds very similar indeed.
Victor Dinaire
hmmmm. I don't think he ripped it off.
End Of Summer is amazing.
Subtle
lol, just compare all tracks from these producers and they all sound the same.

what in the blue hell :clown:
Firstly, though I am sure you are aware, the first track you posted is in itself a bootleg of a gothic rock track.
Secondly, the Anticipation track sounds bollock all like Join Me.

It's sad, but these things happens all the time. Check out the thread "tracks that sound like other tracks..." for a billion examples.

Ok, lesson for the day
PRODUCERS make songs
DJ's Play songs, either their own, or other peoples (although too many whore themselves these days which causes a lack of variety)
Now, sometimes a person will do both, and that's where it becomes tricky...

whether trance producers make their own tracks or rip off, it still sounds in the same nevertheless

this topic is again one big cliche... incredible.
Do you really think Activa was thinking at his desk... he lets make a galaxia rip-off. It uses some same chords ... whatever, who cares.
Why in the world making such a big deal out of it, totally pointless
