Just saw this on twitter - Manicstreetmania

Sorry if it's been mentioned - but as I have the album on iPhone and not a CD version I'm unaware if it's been credited?!

I found an article that was used to promote the album and to be fair they mention the composer as an influence but not that they err borrowed a fair bit of his work!

Doesn't seem to be on the 2CD version at least.

If you mean the prominent ehru at the beginning and end of the song, James said they made it themselves from samples of the instrument (I think it's straight out of Logic Pro myself).

It's good to hear the Richter track, it does sound like it's a sample. For me it's fine and nothing like the Rewind the Film situation before they'd publicly credited it, it's essentially an ambient background sample not most of the song itself.

Remains my favourite track on the album.
