A few weeks ago someone (my neighbor friend, I think) had recommended Julian Casablancas to me. Julian is best known for being the lead singer of The Strokes. I am late to the party when it comes to listening to his solo project and album "Phrazes for the Young".
I must say I love "11th Dimension" but since I first heard it, there was something too familiar. The opening notes on the synthesizer sounded like a song I had heard before. Something 1970s or 1980s-ish. The closest I could come after much searching was Animotion's "Obsession" (1985):
I included G in the puzzle though and she delivered. The clear influence is David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" (1974):
Listen to the beginning of "11th Dimension" and then "Rebel Rebel" and you'll see what I am talking about! I still love the "11th Dimension" mind you!
