[kj] Youth........................

Well I apologise for sounding so "crass" on here, geez I wonder why us closet members on here dont post very often.....

The words Ice and treading spring to mind too often.

  I'm just suggesting that calling it a "rip off" is a bit crass and alarmist. I doubt the Cure are particularly bothered about whether the track is credited to them or not.  I mean, the damn track is called "Glade" (i.e. an open space in a forrest). It's clearly a reference and/or homage to the Cure track. 


  This isn't a "Come As You Are"/"Eighties" sort of discrepancy at all.

    I love Transmissions album, and I love The Cure too, if it was a homage then why not state so?  They were not trying to convince anyone that the track WASNT their own either?!?!, so maybe if you don't like to chose the words "rip off" then its "unreported homage"

    Has either Big Paul or Youth ever throughout any interviews stated they are Cure fans?

      I wouldn't call it a "rip off" so much as an obvious homage. There's NO MISSING that it's based on "A Forrest." A rip-off would imply that they were trying to convince people that the track was their own.

        Tried listening to anything by Transmission?  That is Youth and Big Paul, sounds like a more ambient version of The Cure especially songs like Star Stella and Glade (A very close Cure's A forest instrumental rip off)

            Anyone know what kind of music he has been making recently? 
          Is he still into Goan trance and techno and all that or has his tastes changed /
          I was wondering what direction the new impending KJ album will take because the Yyouth influence on the Pandemonium Album is all to apparent
