just tell me this then, why on earth would he call is superfreak? in my opinion it's because he's taken freak [ from '92 ] and applied new production techniques/equipment to the original idea... give dan bell some credit, at a minimum the inspiration for the name/voice sample. i don't know of any tracks that use the same exact word/phrase on a track that sound as similar as these two do and also have similar titles.

But then again, he isn't the first producer to do > this... you know, i didn't see the similarity between the other bell mp3 that was posted a couple of weeks ago, but thought i would give him the benefit of the doubt until i heard this current that was posted on forcefield. having checked now it out, i think it's fairly evident that the tracks have different drum sounds and programming, different main monosynth lines, and really different-sounding vocal samples/effects treatments of "freak" (in all honesty, i think wink does a lot more with the latter than bell). sure it sounds and feels "like" bell (and also like robert hood-- especially the monosynth line), but a *lot* of techno tracks sound and feel "like" other techno tracks. if wink owes bell anything over this then samuel l. sessions and every second hard techno producer after about 1998 or so should be making monthly payments to jeff mills, the deepchord guys should have already sold their firstborns to the hardwax crew, and every halfwit who ever lays hand on a tb-303 with the intent of making squelchy noises should write a cheque to dj pierre & spanky, etc. etc. etc. the argument here seems to me to stem more from a dislike for wink and his previous trashy rave anthems more than it does from any real musical analysis. glyn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
