I’m so glad you said that because I clearly remember thinking it at the time.TwizzleUK wrote: Fri 28 Oct 2022, 6:48 pm They missed out the cracking 'Megablast'/'Don't Make Me Wait' by Bomb The Bass from 1988. Oddly 'Dont Make Me Wait' had a synth riff that was almost exactly the same as 'Domino Dancing'. They came out so close together ('Dont Make Me Wait' one month before 'Domino Dancing') it has to be a coincidence, rather than copyright infringement. Have a listen to both, you'll see what I mean.
In recent years, I've wondered if both tracks were paying homage to a previous pop/hip-hop song that I'm not aware of with that riff - maybe both were ripping something else off..?TallThinMan wrote: Fri 28 Oct 2022, 6:52 pmI’m so glad you said that because I clearly remember thinking it at the time.TwizzleUK wrote: Fri 28 Oct 2022, 6:48 pm They missed out the cracking 'Megablast'/'Don't Make Me Wait' by Bomb The Bass from 1988.

Jesus! It even has the orchestral hits in a similiar pattern.TwizzleUK wrote: Fri 28 Oct 2022, 6:48 pm They missed out the cracking 'Megablast'/'Don't Make Me Wait' by Bomb The Bass from 1988.

Both great tracks from Autumn 1988. Goes to show not all songs that sound the same are ripping each other off! Total coincidence I'm certain. Both acts had similar influences though.domino wrote: Fri 28 Oct 2022, 9:26 pmJesus!

Recently heard this 1987 release for the first time.jasonjohn wrote:Domino Dancing was released 17 March 1988
Not sure when Don't Make Me Wait was release in 1988, but it doesn't give a lot of time for either side to hear and then react, esp given how slow media was to release back then. Unless someone was pre-touring their future single?
Either way, the similarities are not missable!
It was specifically because of his work with Expose that they chose to work with Martinee.Sithblade wrote:Recently heard this 1987 release for the first time.jasonjohn wrote:Domino Dancing was released 17 March 1988

Written and produced by a certain Lewis Martinee who produced Domino Dancing.
