User blog:Shrimpsofthecoast/Inspiration? Or plagiarism? Songs that sound familiar

I was recently replaying the first System Shock, when I noticed something. A few tracks sounded similiar to existing music. So I'd thought I'd list the ones that sound the most similar, and give my thoughts on them.

1) Lunatic fringe-Red rider. This track from the early 80's sounds very much like the Research level track, albeit a bit more funky, share your thoughts! (I'll be linking all songs at the end)

2) Head like a hole-Nine inch nails. This hardcore track from the late eightes is a clear inspiration for the Reactor level music, I think both songs are pretty metal in their own right, but theres no denying head like a hole inspired the soundtrack.

3) Phantasm main theme-Fred Myrow. Well, this is the biggest one of all, the Executive level music is the theme song in a slightly different pitch. Phantasm has a creepy vibe, where shock's version is more upbeat.

In the end, the soundtrack is still great. Let me know if you agree with my picks, or if there are any other songs that sound familiar to shock's soundtrack!
