"Old songs leave long shadows" - the Futurology musical similarities thread

So, new album, new musical appropriations.

Let's Go To War: Tchaikovsy's Slavonic March and Grieg's In The Hall of the Mountain King

Mayakovsky: O Katrina! - Black Lips

Any more?

I think this was suggested earlier (I forget who, sorry you if you're reading!):

The intro to Last Jet To Moscow sounds more than a bit like Chariots of Fire

There's a definite Beatles vibe on Blistered Mirrors' chorus - can't think what song in particular but hope it will come to me!

The music in the chorus of Walk Me To The Bridge oddly reminds me of the music for the verses of You Love Us.

Also the intro to Black Square appears to be a 'homage' (coughs) to Flock of Seagulls 'Wishing'. At least they didn't replicate the hairstyles!

Walk Me To The Bridge sounds like Push by The Cure. Try it.

one of the riffs in Lets Go to war reminds me of Faith No More at around 40 seconds after "broken subjects" it only last a couple of seconds

I'd say Black Square kinda sounds like...

Picturesque by the Manic Street Preachers! I like the song, but the guitar/synth sound and the actual notes/rythym do remind me of that song quite a bit.

Last Jet to Leave Moscow could almost be a song by The National.

Something about BTCATB has a touch of I Close My Eyes by the Manics about it.

'Misguided Missiles' sounds like a great lost A-ha song. Not necessarily a specific one, it just has their sound. This, for those in doubt, is a GOOD thing.
