was watching the grammy's and caught coldplay's performance. the
only reason i know their name is because my daughter id'd them for
me. (damn i'm getting old.)
anyway, the melody sounded familiar to me....when it hit me.
Computer World by Kraftwerk.
I don't know the name of the Coldplay track, but I was wondering if
anyone else had caught this?
I hadn't heard the Coldplay track that uses the Kraftwerk riff till this
thread
came up (had only heard rumors).
If anyone wants to compare:
http://www.last.fm/music/Coldplay/_/Talk
(click on the green triangle to the left of "Talk")
and if you don't have your copy of Kraftwerk's
Computer Love handy:
http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,116410,00.html
(but listen to the Windows Media clip cos the RealPlayer clip uses a
different part of the song).
My wife (knows Kraftwerk, not Coldplay) just heard me play the
comparison and she said "Kraftwerk should sue". I hope Kraftwerk
get tons of royalties from this.
