Sinister: Sound-alikes

[Mark Hester]

Re the comments about the likelihood of being the only person to think
"Sleep the Clock Around" sounds like a Stereolab song and david's
response about B&S sound like B&S. It is somewhat strange to take
exception to people commenting on one band sounding like another
because it is a pretty harmless and occasionally even helpful activity. We
all pick up little bits of the tunes we love in unexpected places. I was
quite surprised to see Stereolab mentioned as being one of the groups
influenced by Suicide in the Guardian, for example. 'if You're Feeling
Sinister' the song, not the whole album, sounds like Love Is In the Air at
least the bass does. Now I happen to think IYFS is far and away the
better song, in fact LIINA is tosh, but I can still hear the similarity.

Mark.
