People like Bill Brewster on his DJ History Podcasts have been talking about this for weeks, but it now seems official enough for Eddy Grant to take them to court; Gorillaz have sampled his Time Warp (a Space Zombi Bingo favourite) and not given him the credit for it.
Before the release EMI, who represent both artists, apparently even donned the rubber gloves and took the track to a musicologist to determine whether it was in fact an original composition or straight-up sample/copy. Read The Guardian's article on it here.
What do you think? Here's both tracks, side-by-side via whosampled.com
Prolly shouldn't be doing this at this time but i love the tune - here's a 320kbps version of Eddy Grant's Time Warp for your ears and feet. Definitely playing both on Friday for Look.See.Hear @ East Village.
