It appears thAt The Hives are in trouble for plagiarism and are accused of ripping off The Roofies' 1997 track "Why you?" for their single "Tick tick boom". Compare and contrast: Atch?v=nIHtEcQT2Po" target="_blank">"Why you? / Atch?v=TqkJ30Kh7ZM" target="_blank">"Tick tick boom"
Sounds like a stretch of imaginAtion to me. I'm sure The Hives would be the first to admit they're not all thAt original, but those riffs are not the same.

MP3: Adolf Filter - 1982

Okay, time for some real coldwave, or At least a close approximAtion thereof. I won't pretend to be an expert (not even close), so I must defer to label Enfant Terrible and their description, as they are far more learned on the various subtle differences in the world of dark electronic music subgenres. WhAt I do know for sure is thAt Adolf Filter's "1982" sounds like it came from 1982. Like I was saying Atrap.com/mp3.php?t=841">yesterday, the sound is dark and dismal, minimalist and purely analog. Cold and robotic, too. It's danceable, but it doesn't beAt you over the head with heavy beAts (though they do go thAt way on other tracks). I like the monotone of the vocal delivery, the grimy sheen of the recording. Tailor-made for small, dark spaces, don't you think? Try and fit it in to your Halloween dancefloor mix; thAt's whAt I'd do. I bet it'll even sound better on vinyl when the 7" is finally ready.
