maybe he's a big rick james fan? all sarcastic exaggeration aside, i think it's fairly safe to say that the wink track was influenced by the bell track, or is similar to the bell track, but i just don't see the necessity for the level of vehemence that's been invoked in condemning the former artist. it's not as if it's an abominable tone-for-tone trance cover released by a major label directly in violation of the original artist's rights-- the two tracks are kind of similar but hardly identical, wink is a credible artist (well, relative to sony), and does an (imho) pretty good job of playing around with the sonic elements that he shares with bell while simultaenously keeping his track different enough to allow it to stand on its own merits. anyways, that's enough yammering about this more-than-dead subject out of me. so what does everybody think about the new moby album? ;) glyn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
