David Holmes - Rodney Yates - 1997

Gentle People - Journey (Aphex Twin mix) - 1995

Note for note, almost. I just got the Fila Brazillia Another Late Night comp and this is a giant ugly blit right in the middle of it.

I don't know if this counts as "electronica", but there's supposedly hundreds of songs out there that rip off the cool-as-hell riff in "Cubik" by 808 State.

would David Holmes' lifting of Le Orme's organ riff in "69 Police" count?

Mr. Snrub OTM, I thought the same thing when I saw this thread. There were also lots of variations on "Pacific" at the time.
