funny you should mention farley jackmaster funk when it comes to appropriation of other songs. 'love can't turn around' was "ripped" from isaac hayes' 'i can't turn around'. (incidentally, steve hurley claims he wrote 'love can't turn around' and that farley stole it from him). farley also used the bassline from mfsb's 'love is the message' for another track. so maybe technotronic were the people getting the revenge, or maybe such concepts underlying them are meaningless. james
All this Jaguar talk going, it reminded me of the case of Farley's "The Acid life" being ripped by Technotronic in their "Pump up the jam" hit. Has anyone else noticed how strikingly similar is the BASS-line and the intro in those two tracks? Acid life (from "No vocals necessary" LP '88) has a classic 303 bass line start that once heard never forgotten. And about a year later (or was it 1990?) came Technotronic with "Pump up the jam" which had almost the same, If not THE same line, but played with that infamous metallic bass. But gladly Chicago took it's revenge when Funk sampled TT for his own track. And so did Kenny Dope in the early 90's.
