From what I understand, they have gone on record and stated that they did borrow beats/samples/whatever from various chiptunes artists, and are actually releasing those songs as part of some chiptunes tribute album or something. Something I guess has been lost in the shuffle in the controversy...
Though I myself have yet to see this statement. A friend of mine read it on Pitchfork, which I don't go to.
As far as I can tell, not helping them is their management, who deflected all claims of theft instead of just addressing them in the beginning, which would have saved them a whole lot of trouble.
Anyhow, I wanted to check them out, so I went to their free show in Willamsburg. Was at some shitty club with a bunch of NYU drones till midnight, and they never showed. Instead we got this piece of crap act from Canada that was just horrible, so him plus the annoying crowd was why my friend and I split. They probably came on afterwards, but who cars at this point...

neue, I'm ALL FOR SAMPLING.
but there is a difference..stealing an entire track and singing over it, then call it your own, and even say you didn't steal it when you are called on it by people that don't drink pabst blue ribbon its different.
Go browse your old cds that have samples on it, they state : contains sample from blah blah blah.
Of course you can only do that when you get on a big label that has the push to clear your samples, but even so.. mention the artist or you are stealing.Think what would happen if you so one of your designs on logo kings website, and suddenly he got huge..
would you be ok with that?

Maybe this will bring more attention to the originators?
Look at what sampling in hip hop has done for all those one-hit wonders whose lives work had been shelved and forgotten... They're now sought after rarities...
Think all those samples have been cleared as well?

for those who said I don't care..
Put yourself on the situation of the talented underground artist, probably not making money on their music, and then comes a group of thief and take over the entire crowd of urban outfitters / american apparel consumers, listening to this, they are growing by the minute...
I would be pissed too.
Is like one of your portfolio pieces got printed on a book by gestalten verlag, but instead of your name under it, it says
Design by logo king.think about that

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.

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

"Tell Me What to Swallow"
"Black Panther"
"Courtship Dating"
Are great songs, period.

The only reason I'm going to look this up for a listen is because of her tits.
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

- That was a guy singing no? Do you have a link with 'tits' singing, or am I missing something?Jnr_Madison

Just had a listen, sounds like a migraine.
- 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.
- 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

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