C Sixty Four: On A Good Thing

C Sixty Four:On A Good Thing (Universal Music)

Just wondering if it's coincidential? I think not, although I doubt there's any other connection with our beloved computer. I think they're using part (sampled perhaps) of song by The Commodores, so the name might be a clever reference.

So now there's both C Sixty Four and C 21. Whatever next - C Vic 20 ? :D

I always thought Eric Prydz "Call On Me" already was a clone. :o

Possible, I'm not really up to date anymore regarding dance/house/tech music... Of course "Call On Me" covers the 80s hit of the same name, but I guess that was not what you're referring to?

Ironically it always got me upset in the past if someone said "This is a clone of tune XY." and you know that tune XY was already a clone of tune ABC. There. Exposed myself. :D

Do you know by chance the name of the pioneer tune with the maxxed-out-compression-on-everything house style?

I also thought "Sound Of San Francisco" was an obvious clone of Benny Bennassi's "Satisfaction". Were there any predecessors, too?

as far as i remember it was etablished the times when french house music came in in the late 90s, especially thomas bengaltars tunes.
listen to daft punk. but it`s possible i heard it a few years before, but can`t remember then and it was on underground music only.

@ifadeo: alec did really noisy stuff, didn`t he ?
ever listened to his breakbeat records ?
but i have to admit i didn`t liked it really.

regards

So we have two old men not really up to date regarding dance music talking bout dance music.... :D

Ähh...doch..I mean...yes. But in a more general way. 95 % of today's chart music is cloned in some way, let it be the song itself, the melody or even the "artist" and the whole concept behind him. Streamlined to maximum financial efficiency. This "Call on me"-version is a great example for this . Is it made of anything other than the refrain? I don't know or I don't remember or whatever but this isn't really necessary cos the point is to sell it as a mobile ring tone 2 weeks later.

totally agree romeo.
this fucking, boring "hit" is always hitting my nerves. the only good thing about this steve winwood sampled tune is the hot babe in the clip. nothing more about it.

But of course! Thomas Bangalter, Alan Braxe... they did that kind of stuff in the later 90s. Among my favourites, too. Thanks for reminding me Oj (so you're right about the 'old men' part, Romeo). :lol:

I must admit though that I quite like the Prydz tune, I just f*cking hate the hype around it (ringtones etc...). That's what spoils it.
