Ok, noob here but haven't found a more specific Don Cherry pointer so here goes.
The bass line in Percolator comes from Don Cherry's fantastic Relativity Suite album of 1973, more specifically from the end of "Tantra" or the beginning of "Mali Doussn'gouni".The Rhodes Piano ostinato riff in Metronomic Underground I think comes from "Desireless" of the same album.

It's not in any of the videos I don't think but "Perversion" is almost exactly the same as Velvet Underground's "What Goes On". It is literally the most blatant VU rip-off I have ever heard.

I love this band's influences and references, i might consider them my favorite band simply because of it, so much commn ground for an average music geek.

Song title references Anais Nin. It was the name she gave one if her dresseshttp://blacknyx.tumblr.com/post/43837638270/anais-nin-in-inauguration-of-the-pleasure
Also the song samples Gal Costa. Cant remember which song.... Divino, maravilhoso?
― Moka, Friday, 5 April 2013 17:51 (eleven years ago) link
I dont know how much these count as "direct" so they probably dont count:
Joao Donato - Cada Jodel (The Beautiful One)Similar groove to "Parsec".
http://youtu.be/8zy9-n3AJNA
Ennio Morriconne - Amore come doloreSimilar main chord sequence as Miss Modular. (Listen from 1:50 onwards).
http://youtu.be/slMuopBrglY
Also Brakhage reminds me of Mayfield's Move on up.
― Moka, Friday, 5 April 2013 18:43 (eleven years ago) link
Last one for the day:
The bassline for "Were not adult orientated" is basically a sped up sample of Joy DIvision "No love lost".
― Moka, Friday, 5 April 2013 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
Don't know it this has been mentioned but Miss Modular is metaphorically about an art technique called eye trick (trompe l'oeil)
