Just heard that the rumors are true:
Coldplay's "Talk" (their new single)
nicks the riff from Kraftwerk's "Computer
Love" (apparently done legally):
I hadn't heard the Coldplay track that uses the Kraftwerk riff till this
thread
came up on the 313 list (had only heard rumors).
If anyone wants to compare:
http://www.last.fm/music/Coldplay/_/Talk
(click on the green triangle to the left of "Talk")
and if you don't have your copy of Kraftwerk's
Computer Love handy:
http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,116410,00.html
(but listen to the Windows Media clip cos the RealPlayer clip uses a
different part of the song).
My wife (knows Kraftwerk, not Coldplay) just heard me play the
comparison and she said "Kraftwerk should sue". I hope Kraftwerk
get tons of royalties from this.
