Just recently listening to "then go" and ive noticed such similarities to Portisheads "Glorybox" i know Damo has covered that before but its kinda bugging me the way alot of his songs have such similarities these days glorybox is the one with "give me a reason to love you" incase you arent a big portishead fan[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] |

i haven't heard "then go" yet, but if is similar to "glory box", then it must be similar to Isaac Hayes' "Ike's rap 2" which portishead sampled for glory box. also Tricky has sampled the same track for his "Hell is around to corner"

Hmmm... I hear the same downward low-note progression that creates that kinda sensual mood. Thousands of songs use this though, and I don't hear enough of a connection for me to be concerned.

In a 'what the hell am I talking about?!' way, or that I don't hear a huge similarity apart from the progression? [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

It sounds a lot to me like the early Buckingham Nicks Album by the same name. I just listened to Halleujah too...that sounds just like Buckley's verson. Damian has very good taste and the talent to emulate it! BRAVO!

And with respect to Tricky, if you like Portishead then Tricky is a no brainer. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] It is the same type of stuff. I think they even sample off one another. I was listening to my Tricky CD yesterday Maxinquaye which is his first and best album. I never stop enjoying the tracks on that CD. If you are going to introduce yourself to Tricky I recommend you start with Maxinquaye. Jeweller, it has been a slice. Cheers!

Damian has also been quoted as being influenced by Leonard Cohen now NO ONE sounds "like" Cohen, but everyone does his music. I think that it is a relative part of talent to be able to have the "ear" to hear the parts of a song that move you and to have the talent to emulate it and encorporate it into things of your own. Not to get at all religious but even the oldest text in the history of the world says "there is nothing new under the sun." That being said, there isin't a whole lot of anything that doesn't sound like something else...
