Hmm... I think I've heard that before

I don’t know who stole from whom 😄 One track feels like a remix of the other. The melody is copied note for note. I like the Arcana project’s version more. It’s simpler, but at the same time it’s more gripping. Sometimes simplicity is not a bad thing at all.

Piero Zeta — Energy-Z (Extended Mix) (1997)

 

Talamasca — Time Simulation (2001)

Tsk, tsk, Talamasca 😏
It looks like one of Talamasca’s most loved and popular tracks might be a bit too close to Piero Zeta — Energy-Z.
Or am I the only one hearing the similarity?

It’s the same melody, but the styles are different.
In Manuel Duego – Deception it’s psy-prog, while The Synthetic Dream Foundation present it as agrotech (Discogs doesn’t even recognize that style and classifies it as Trance / Industrial).
To me, it feels more like a fusion of goa and industrial. It actually reminds me of Xenomorph, who is usually classified as goa.

Both tracks are in the goa trance style. But Sunstorm by Aeternum is more melodic. It even sounds like a remix of a track by Fractal Glider.

wow!

good catch thats identical.. except ofc talamasca made the notes longer thus the melody slower and more impactful, but, notes are all the same.

Two tracks: Icon (2009) and Eikon (2020) by RA.

The first one is classic oldschool goa trance. The second is some kind of hybrid between psy-prog and new school goa. The track titles themselves kind of suggest that one is a remix of the other. However, because of the pumping psy-prog groove, the melodic similarity is not immediately obvious. But it is there — and the 2020 track is in fact a remix.

Listen to the very beginning of the first track.
Then listen to the second track from the start.
Then play the first track from 01:46, and the second track from 06:05.

The melody from the beginning of the track Nihilist — Sunbeam From Fornax 4 (1994) was borrowed by the duo TransWave for their track TransWave — Adoration To The Aum (1995). Whether TransWave did this intentionally or accidentally is unknown to me.

The track Odyssee Of Noises — Lucifer (1993) is a remix of the track The Alan Parsons Project — Lucifer (1979).

Both tracks have the same lead melody.
MAN — Movers & Shakers (1993)

Mindfield — Let's Get Stoned and Watch the Freaks (1995)

If you're stealing from yourself, does it really count as stealing?)) 😄
Different project names, but it’s actually the same people behind them.
Pharagonescia — Pharatropic (1996)

Offtopic but always a good excuse to post this classic:

This similarity of melodies has already been discussed on the forum before, but back then the track Another World by SFX was overlooked. I think (though I’m not 100% sure) that SFX might actually have been the first to use this melody.
