That's an interesting find.

Out Of The Blue was released 02.03.1999 in Netherlands but recorded somewhere in 1998.

My money's on Ferry Corsten to be the first one (as he was a genius full of creativity in the 90's), although I still want to make a proper research about this.

Bit late to the discussion here, but OOTB was doing the rounds as a white label, then as a promo for a while before the 'official' release.
Not sure on the timeline, but I imagine if the full release was early 1999, then the white labels then promos would have been around 1998.

A&R was very aggressive on jumping on popular tunes back then, so I imagine a lot of these 'clones' may well have been at request of the labels to cash in on the OOTB hype by getting their similar tracks released before-hand.

I remember there being some controversy when Anjunabeats released the Rollerball - Albinoni track, which was based on Albinoni's adagio.
There was another track based off the same piece that beat the Rollerball track to the release and I remember Tony McGuinness getting quite annoyed about it. I cant remember the name of the tune, 'Epica' or something similar rings a bell - maybe someone can remember.

Somehow he won a grammy with this track. Copies the voice of Justine Suissa Satellite then takes full ownership.

pretty sure they must have sorted out the rights with Anjuna behind the scenes

as for how it won the Grammy, it's the same as with all these award$$$

Randy Katana also copied and pasted the acid riff from Pump Panel's 'Confusion' remix.

Plagiarizing and ripping off melodies has been going on forever. I remember many threads on the TranceAddict forums over the past 23 years calling out a lot of this. While most often nobody seems to care, there are those that do. I won't give names, but I know of many producers in this industry who have been called out by the original creators of vocal lines or melodies used in a new production without their permission. In most of these cases, if the producer tried to justify it, something many sadly did, legal action was threatened, and the content was removed in the final release.

Now with the advent of AI, we have a whole new world of plagiarism to deal with. Just yesterday, I became aware of a 2-month-old YouTube comment on my track "Magnus - First Born" informing me that Suno AI had apparently learned my song and was generating similar copies of it based on text prompts. I wrote that song for my son 14 years ago, so this made me sad. 😞

I feel like creativity is all but dead. From now on, everyone will question if any artistic creation was assisted in part or in whole by AI. I don't like this new world we live in, and there's no going back.

good to see you on the forum @Magnus.

we have, coïncidently, and entire thread tackling this topic

www.trancefix.nl

AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

On a different note, the speed at which the quality of AI stem separation is improving is great for a serial bootlegger like me. Still not perfect but results are great for vocal extraction and nowhere near the amount of artifacts that there were previously. As I've been saying, AI's influence...
