Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

It's hard to really care now. It happened, they didn't write it. Whatever.

Oh, and there is the fact that Dan the Automator is a rap producer.

This is kind of what they do.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

I'm over it at this point. I knew this wasn't a song that dredg wrote in the first place, but I still loved it. I still do. I'm just honestly curious if this was a total "no one will ever notice!" move by Dan, or if he licensed it.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

It's more like:

DTA: "I always write something for my projects, if you write something better, then fine, but I think you should put vocals to this:" *rips off or licenses a song*

mhmm.

IMO, it's not something you easily 'get over'. In fact, it has the permanent effect of lowering my opinion further.

Same here, sadly I would like to know if it was legal though. And if the guys knew it...

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

Man, that's a bummer. Yeah I'm really curious about the circumstances for this as well. I really hope they release a Dredg album next time, not a Dan the Automator (feat. Dredg) album. I'm trying not to complain, and I legitimately like the album, but Dan's influence is too much for me, especially with something like this happening. We've all had this conversation a billion times, and I'm not looking to restart it. I just think that Dredg had proved that they can add an electronica influence one their own and do it better, as evidenced here.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

A very good evidence

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

I mean, I wouldn't care as much if it wasn't my FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM. I'd certainly be concerned, but still.

Meanwhile, I think I need some fucking acid and a copy of this movie...

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

So, are there any notes with the physical CD? Does it credit the guy who wrote the song?

[DasMico]

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

yeah, its definitely sampled....DTA is a producer, thats what they do....take something and turn it into something else.....but yeah that really makes this not really a dredg song.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

No, it is stolen. No credit was given to the writer. That's plagiarism. Whether or not Dan is a hip-hop producer has no bearing on stealing someone else's work and calling it his own. Dredg are artists and should understand this. I am in no way saying they don't. However, this was a very shitty development.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

remember back when that band blatantly ripped off ode to the sun and everyone was pissed off at them about it? i'm glad that we're having a similar reaction to dredg/dan right now. shows that we aren't biased.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

what band/song was it that ripped off ode to the sun?

[vsd]

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

A shitty one/one. The names aren't even worth mentioning.

I don't think a hip hop artist or a mash-up DJ is going to credit every piece of music they sample or else the liner notes for the album would be like a fucking novel.
