Armin Van Buuren and his obvious Man With No Name influences.

The first time I heard the track Sunburn, after listening the track once, I immediately noticed a sample that sound awfully familiar a Man With No Name track. I couldn't recall to myself which so I started listening to my collection of MWNN, which includes almost all his tracks.
So after some listening I found which track the sample came from, or rather the influence. Listen to Armin - Sunburn at the 3:05 mark then listen to Man With No Name - Tarantula at 6:40 roughly, sound pretty close don't they.
Then out of pure coincidence, while listening to other tracks I noticed another familiar sound, which I know I heard in an Armin track. So after some digging through, I found the track in question. It was Armin Van Buuren - Yet Another Day (Rising Star Mix).
The sample in this question comes around 1:40 mark in Armins track and it comes in at 6:12 mark in Man With No Name - Under The Influence. Practically identical, notes and instrument wise.
Now I'm sure If I took the time to listen to more Armin's tracks I'd notice some more similarities. Also note that MWNN's tracks are all from mid 90's, he was way above his time and his tracks are still great, a true pioneer of the Psy/Goa genre.
That's my 2 cents :)

Sunspot sounds more like "Humate - Love Stimulation"

| And thus starts AVB's journey down the wicked spiral of hate on the TA forums. AVB will join the likes of Tiesto, Oakenfold, ATB, Darude, and Alice Deejay. Prominant members of the TA society will start regularly bashing him and his works. |

| I'm not bashing Armin, I'm simply pointing out things I've noticed. Nothing I've said in the thread is derogatory or negative towards Armin. |

| I know, I was joking! But I think Plagerism (sp?) is really a bad thing for an artist to do. |

| Updated the original post with samples because it doesn't seem many people have the tracks in question :) |

the second one doesnt sound alike at all
and the first one was probably becuase the yet another day sample was being mixed into |

It does, listen to the sample carefully, it's ambient in the background, you might need headphones. Tho the notes aren't 100% same but enough for anybody that has a good sense of hearing to pick up. The sample in Armin's track is subtle and is masked by the other instruments, you can clearly hear that it's in fact very similar.
I don't know what you mean by because it was being mixed into to, it either does or doesn't.
Also don't forget that the MWNN samples are at higher BPM. |

i see the similiarity between
Armin Van Buuren - Yet Another Day (Rising Star Mix)
and that man with no name track
also AIRHEAD - VORTEX sound ridiculously similar to yet another day!

| I don't see anything wrong with using beat/samples from another track as long as it not like that for the entire song. There are so many tracks which use tunes/beats/samples from other tracks. Its not just AvB who does it, its many DJ's/Producers. |
