Personally, I think nearly all of these are OTM. Only the Cybele's Reverie one was too much of a stretch for me.

thank you! I searched and searched but couldn't find it
I'd forgotten the degree to which they really just used that Polanski poster as clip art
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 8 November 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah that's amazing
I already knew the majority of musical stuff in this thread but the visual ones like the Polanski poster and the Peng! cartoon are great

Milton, you were so comprehensive I had to read the thread twice to make sure I hadn't overlooked it! For extra credit here's Komeda's Polanski soundtrack:

It sez something about Stereolab that pt six of that vid has two equally plausible origins of Metronomic Underground (and that's before anyone Kraut rock is considered too.)

the "Symbolic Logic of Now!" rip of Archie Shepp's "Akai" and the "Margarine Melodie" rip of Ron Grainger's "Theme from Omega Man" sound like insane plundering to me, Nabisco
better Philip Glass tracks to illustrate "Kybernetická babicka": "Music In Twelve Parts, Part 11" or some of the choral pieces from "North Star"
ok they're referencing 'The Omega Man', 10,000 points to anyone who can find a "Demon Seed" or "Phase IV" reference
― Milton Parker, Friday, 9 November 2007 00:03 (sixteen years ago) link
and putting "symbolic logic of now" and scrolling past about 15 mail order hits, you get a fragment of an online book called "PERFORMANCE ANTHOLOGY" about California Performance art in the 70's and a reference to a piece by video artist Joel Glassman

anyone saying that they may not be borrowing _that much_ only makes me think that person isn't even bothering to notice their project, these are not just songs, but clues

oh and I just found two Cluster samples on Fab-Four Suture, if anyone has the packaging perhaps they can tell me if they even credited or paid. they obviously go on listening tears to specific artists while recording single albums.
'Excursions Into Oh, A-oh' samples a loop of 'Prothese' from Grosses Wasser 'Widow Weirdo' samples a loop of 'Caramel' from Zuckerzeit
― Milton Parker, Friday, 9 November 2007 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
No mention of Cluster samples in the FFS (FFS!) artwork, such that it is (single card insert, CD back cover, that's it).
― Michael Jones, Friday, 9 November 2007 00:57 (sixteen years ago) link
not to be self-righteous about uncleared sampling or anything
the loops themselves are more winking ornamental shoutouts than integral elements

Was just listening to Steve Hillage's "It's all too much", the refrain of which bears striking resemblance to "I'm going out of my way" from Transient Random Noise Bursts, right down to the overdriven organ.

According to this interview the title of Sound Dust comes from the liner notes to a Messiaen record. Which one?
― dad a, Monday, 28 January 2008 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link
not sure, it'd be appropriate for any of them. tim mentions the Turangalila here. a lot of Sound-Dust strikes me as Komeda production & arrangements of Messiaen chord sequences). One of my favorite Stereolab moments ever is that shifting filtered sequence at the end of "Gus The Mynah-Bird", which reminds me of "Vingt Regards".
Messiaen POV / POX
Parts 7 & 8 of the 'Stereolab Origins' series, part 8 includes a bit of the Turangalila

Maybe he's talking about this? Pupils of Messaien, A Capella Works by Messaien, Stockhausen & Xenakis - one of the Stockhausen pieces, Agnus Dei, describes the Lamb of God by saying, "its step makes the sound of rainfall on the dust."

the Stereolab Origins series on Youtube is up to episode 13. It's so much fun, you try to guess which track is about to be cut to, providing a vague match, but I'm out of my depth by this point (though man, it's clear I really need to hunt down every last Don Cherry album I can find)

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.
