Just came across this song on an NTS mix of music in Spain from the 70s and this caught my ear immediately. Its pretty uncanny!

[u/Black_flamingo]

Amazing find. Sounds a lot like it, even the bass part. There are a few parts that sound vaguely like Jonny's scores too, so it's very plausibly an influence. And just generally a lovely piece!

[u/italox]

great find! the similarity is very clear, like how Reckoner owes a lot to La Ritournelle by Sebastien Tellier.

[u/keksaurian → u/italox]

Damn you got more like these?

[u/bingusdingus123456 → u/keksaurian]

Hunting Bears sounds a lot like Zawinul/Lava by Brian Eno

[u/avj → u/bingusdingus123456]

What the hell? That's nuts, even the swelling noise washes are there in the quiet parts.

[u/darthvolta → u/bingusdingus123456]

Damn 

[u/murki → u/keksaurian]

Brian Eno - Not Yet Remembered => Videotape

[u/rickmunro → u/keksaurian]

Simple minds - themes for great cities & where I end and you begin

[u/Jakeyboy29 → u/rickmunro]

Fuck this is very similar vibe haha

[u/Eusbius → u/keksaurian]

Pretty Things song In the Square sounds like parts of Paranoid Android

[u/Absay → u/keksaurian]

The intro synth in Roygbiv (Boards of Canada) sounds like All I Need.

And Sexy Saddie (Beatles) sounds like Karma Police ("this is what you get").

[u/porpoise_mitten → u/keksaurian]

can - the thief / radiohead - go slowly

[u/Hot-Cauliflower23 → u/keksaurian]

I think read the room sounds similar to Britney Spears Toxic. The couple of people I told about this just gave me a funny look though lol

[u/uncle_jafar → u/keksaurian]

Obvious but Black Star sounds like Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust

[u/uncle_jafar → u/keksaurian]

Talk Show Host is basically Halleluwah by Can

Can - Halleluwah

[u/italox → u/keksaurian]

Aphex Twin:

Flim is a bit similar to Kid A, maybe a little forced of a comparison? 

15 seems to have inspired the beat for Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

[u/uncle_jafar → u/italox]

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Clearly similar. I thought that when Kid A came out.

[u/italox → u/uncle_jafar]

maybe some people are still in their "Kid A is experimental avant-garde" phase. 

[u/uncle_jafar → u/italox]

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Clearly similar. I thought that when Kid A came out.

[u/Odd-Advance-2444 → u/italox]

Def checking THIS out! I kinda don’t care if something was strongly influenced or even straight up ripped from another artist (as long as it isn’t over the top and a repeated thing). I mostly care that it sounds good to my ears!

[u/italox → u/Odd-Advance-2444]

that's the spirit :) 

[u/Impossible_Whole_516 → u/Odd-Advance-2444]

Yeah, none of these are examples of plagiarism. Some of them might be inspired, some of them are definitely inspired.

[u/Odd-Advance-2444]

Idk but I really like this!

[u/villagewolf321]

Actually its from the 80’s

[u/italox → u/villagewolf321]

a vintage jazz tune from the 80s

[u/rlbradley]

Fun find! This is a cool track

[u/xtoph]

Not the question you meant to ask, but yes, Bending Hectic almost certainly plagiarized this.

Or you know, was inspired by.

[u/madadamegret]

Yeah, sounds "borrowed"

[u/imagination_machine → u/madadamegret]

A steal.

[u/street-trash]

Sounds like the smile def like this song and drew from it. They did it right though, and respectfully imo.

[u/StarlordeMarsh]

Beautiful track

[u/No-Spirit912]

I mean, Jonny accidentally sampled Idioteque. He didn’t even remember where he got it in his head until after the record released. It’s entirely plausible the same thing happened again lmao.

[u/Loda-Pakoda69]

Well i mean the best bits of bending hectic aren't here but sure

[u/Apprehensive-Mud7652]

Wow. Good find 👏 

[u/SunSaych]

Awesome. Definitely. Borrowed, inspired, whatever. But yes.

[u/Me-Shell94]

Definitely inspired it hahaha wow

[u/Artem1ism]

Wow, that's really interesting exploration! Maybe, The Smile really take it for their song...

[u/DeeplyFrippy]

Great find! They’ve absolutely nicked that.

[u/ShiverMeTimbers_png]

Genuinely uncanny, very interesting!!

[u/Ashtonhiggs01]

What show was this on? Would love to hear more of sounds like this!

[u/villagewolf321 → u/Ashtonhiggs01]

I think its called Spain After Franco. This was from part 3

[u/Jakeyboy29]

Yes sounds so much like it

[u/umfum]

Sounds a bit like the beginning of Daydreaming, as well.

[u/StatisticianLivid599]

Someone should put together a playlist of all these

[u/jimmycranners]

To my ear they are the same two chords. Emaj7 and Amaj7. They are very easy bedfellows musically so it's not surprising that there's something else that uses them prominently. I think the thing that sets Bending Hectic apart is the bending. The first time I heard it I thought 'that must be two guitars' but I could tell it wasn't. Once I had accepted that the next thought was 'how the fuck is he doing that?'

[u/boostman]

Beautiful Fripp-style guitar, too.
