    stealing is taking something away, beck rather formed something new and widely credited the origin of the sound, it's like saying sampling is stealing, which it is clearly not.

    Considering Beck has stated that Paper Tiger was a homage to Melody publicly a few times now, I don't see how he "stole" it necessarily..

    yep, exactly what I was thinking... this definitely inspired Beck, most notably in "Paper Tiger"

    "So this is where Beck got his sound from." if you actually mean "so this is where Beck stole that song from" then yes

    in places reminds me of old Rolling Stones and classic rock, maybe some Lou Reed. Great string work throughout the piece~

    "Prince des ténèbres, archange maudit, amazone modern' style que le sculpteur, en anglais surnomma Spirit of Ecstasy..." this is beyond amazing.
