Have you heard that Mike Batt (Of Wombles fame).. is being taken to court because of his track "One Minutes Silence" on his Planets LP. It appears that some folk think he has copied excerpts from John Cages 4'33" (that is 4 mins and 33 secs of silence).
Better keep them away from Boards of Canada's Geogaddi! The 1:46 of "Magic Window" is even *closer* to "4:33"!
Nah, that has a completely different beat *and* melody. :) I think John Cage is probably thinking "I rest my case" at this point. Whatever statement he intended with his piece has been accidentally amplified and echoed by his label's landsharks. -- /* Soleil */
