Compare and contrast:
Despite any rumors to the contrary, Ed Sheeran has never been a member of Kraftwerk
I’m prepared to accept your word on that…come to think of it: have they ever had a ginger member?
Sufferin’ Succotash!
Both are simulations of the sound a train travelling at speed makes on it’s tracks.
I wasn’t trying to imply any plagiarism – it would just be interesting to know if any of the Kraftwerk beat combo had heard the Herbie H album at any point…
If there are any Kraftwerk fans out there get ’em to buy one of those Uncut Specials in our local W.H. Smith … those six, completely unloved and utterly unbought, copies have been clogging up far too much space for far too long (six weeks?), and are in no danger of shifting anytime soon.
No problem, me old son – now, where is your local WH, so I can let everybody know?
Just you. Nowt like each other.
Fair enough – it’s a point of view…
