Turin Brakes ripping BoC

I read an interview in the paper about how they listened to
Geogaddi continuously while recording their new album.

And then they rip off the picture of Michael and Marcus
sitting in a field. Look at the cover of Ether Song.

Grr, homage or rip-off?

Rip off. The fact that 90%+ of the people who buy the turin
breaks album will never know about the BoC influence make it
a rip off in my book.

Hopefully a few people will read about it then discover BoC
through it...

The article.

Paridjanian appears, looking confused, then shuffles into
the kitchen while Knights begins to pull out a few CDs.
First up is Geogaddi by Boards of Canada, the analogue-synth
duo from Scotland. "We were listening to this a lot during
the recording of the album," says Knights. "It's electronic
music that has progressed beyond the level of showing what
synthesisers can do, and it sounds very old, like it's been
dug up out of the ground. For electronic music to sound like
it has weight and history is rare - electronic folk music,
basically."

Really, a cover is a cover. I havent heard these guys so I
couldnt say for myself, but if the MUSIC is a rip off of
BOC, then they are a rip off. I'd probably just think that
BoC inspired them... not that they were ripping them off.
And I like the quote claiming that Geogaddi sounds as if it
had been dug out of the ground, thats a cool way of thinking
about it. Might even add some new elements next time I try
and visualize the music in Geogaddi.

i really like that cover, but yeah i definitely see where
they got the idea for it. I never really heard of them
though. What's their music like?

I'd say they're quite Indie.They're ok.
I wouldn't say they're electronic artists at all.
