I don't doubt they've been 'heavily influenced' but it's part of what I like about the album, I feel like I've heard it all before, but like 10 years ago and not from one artist/band...
I actually really like the warmth and tempo of the whole album except for the 3-4 agro tracks...

I love 'em. first time I heard them was last year at a festival, they were only 25 min on stage and blowned everyone away.
great album, I don't care if they stole it

- he kind of looks like he's not sure what button to presskelpie
- I'm sure they all make the same sound too... He's also wearing the same thing in every photo I've seen him in..neue75_bold

Also said in an interview they were the only ones capable of making that sound because they took a chip out of an old Atari console and stuck it in their keyboard. So full of shit and stupid lies its not even funny

ok, read the tshirt thing. any explanation of this "Stole music from some chiptunes artist" ?
and do you have a personal thing against them? your tone makes it sound like it...
- ESKEMA0
in the music industry as in any industry, there is always resemblance to others work, but just because one do it better or get higher recognition for it over the other, it doesn't make it theft or stupid.
If you don't like the artist that's a different thing.
you only do something original until you find out that it has already been made...

i watched these dudes recently. that chick is fuckin mental. their strobe lights nearly gave me an epeleptic fit they were so over the top. but i liked. she has something about her.
- yes, that 'crazy bitch with nice tits' kinda appeal...neue75_bold

"she has something about her."
wait a minute, I think that might be code for something...

Amaaaaazing.
The sound is really bad, and the songs aren't that great either, but for some reason their sound is very unique.

The only reason I'm going to look this up for a listen is because of her tits.
- kelpie0
its not even close to unique. christ; kitbuilders and adult for just two have been doing that shit for ages as have piles of other cunts. I like it though, but as snuggs says it sort of melts into all the hundreds of influences they mine.
- indeed, they have that pile of cunt feeling/smell...neue75_bold
- clearThoughts0
Yeah totally - I think it's just a re-branded version of Adult, or even Miss Kittin and the Hacker... of course they have Marketing and PR people making it all happen. Otherwise we wouldn't be even talking about them.

Just had a listen, sounds like a migraine.

- That was a guy singing no? Do you have a link with 'tits' singing, or am I missing something?Jnr_Madison
- he sings through her tits... tits are the new fuzzbox...neue75_bold
- tits tits titsneue75_bold

They sound great on vinyl.REALLY? Never heard tits on vinyl before? They probably sound interesting - but not like an Atary chip.
- tits on vinyl = DJ pornkelpie
- Maybe her tits are fake - and that's what makes the sound so 'unique'clearThoughts

Crystal Castles are stealing their music from talented artist, this happened more than once..
http://createdigitalmusic.com/20…- not that the hipsters care about it, but I think it should be brought up to lightMeeklo

1. There is an unreleased track of Crystal Castles called ‘instecticon’ that borrows whole chunks of belgian artist lo-bat’s work.
Here is crystal’s track:
Insecticon
and here is lo-bat’s
My Little Droid Needs a Hand
Even tho the original track has been pitched down and chopped, there is no doubt it’s the same. Gameboy sounds are hard to get and the chances of getting the same complex sound lo-bat can get is absolutety zero.
The track is also featured on CC’s record label myspace
http://www.myspace.com/liesrecor…
and although it NOW says lo-bat Vs. CC, it wasn’t before the story got found out:
Another ‘unreleased’ track of them ‘bitter hearts’ is just a mash up of several lo-bat tracks with ugly drums on it.

ahh, the hype machine and all its glory.
- Do you recognise Alice from GBC? She looks so familiar, well, her tits do at least...neue75_bold
